need to understand details about YMDK Wings Kit and building tips
with this YMDK Wings Kit do I have to solder anything while reading it? Here are the links you provided. If I can open it up to add some vibration dampening pads, what should I do? If I choose to remove the keycaps from this board, will it still have the space gap between the keys, which is important to me? I plan to build the YMDK with the 2088-Black and include a full set of KAILH BOX DARK YELLOW switches along with a GLORIOUS O-RING switch dampener, 40a soft—whether thin or thick, it’s unclear which is best. My final build idea is to finish with a custom paint job using a spray-painted white pattern, though I haven’t decided yet. Any advice on the initial setup or the planned paint scheme would be appreciated. I prefer a heavier trigger, and my reason for wanting low-profile caps is that the board feels too bulky. I’m currently using a Drop Swift with Kailh Heavy Box Ancient Greys on the number pad and the caps in the Retro Steampunk Keycaps Set (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B089763442?psc=1). I like the gap spacing and the round shape, but for YMDK I’d prefer square ones. I’m also checking if the 2088-Black caps still maintain the gap spacing on this board.
The kit includes switches that are already soldered, but you'll need to add a keycap set for the project and there will be no LEDs included—only the switches. If you prefer a hotswap version, check this link:

The soldered and hotswap options let you take off the frame (top and bottom) after removing some screws, enabling you to create artwork directly on the frame. I recommend the hotswap kit so you can choose any switches you like, without having to deal with a permanently soldered setup, which can be difficult to desolder and rework.
