If you are considering keyboards and are going down the build your own route you might be able to get a pre assembled PCB with hotswapping contacts I would say hotswapping is better than soldered in.
The ceramic keycaps will change the sound of the keyboard.
do you have a link for them? I'm interested in them.
You can get rubber o rings for the switches too that will soften the feel & sound.
For switches and like a tactile feel, I think people will say "holy Panda" switches but I would say consider gazzew boba, I think kailh do tactile switches. Outemu switches are cheaper but are lose and rattle a little more.
For stabilisers perhaps look into something like everglide or higher quality ones that rattle less.
If you don't want a gay rainbowed filled LED PCB you should consider a cut/letter slotted PCB as they have a little flex and make for a softer feel.

I would look into what firmware you can use with it and I believe the industry standard is VIA which is like a plug & play firmware that you can program on the fly, record macros, multiple layers, either rollover layers or layer switching.
(There are other firmwares which I think are all based on QMK)
You can also build your own firmware if you want but with a programmable firmware it isn't usually needed.
I promise everyone else I'm not a keyboard sperg.
