I find a certain relaxation in soldering a board like this, but it’s not exactly its own reward so I need to find some angle to explore to make me feel like it’s time well spent. I’ve seen most of these elements on various projects on the interwebs, but never put together exactly like this, so I thought it was worthwhile. I like the zero degree incline, the low height, the programmability, and the vaguely out-of-time vibe from the keycaps, layout, and materials. It is far from perfect, but I’m pleased with it, and given the tools and supplies and switches I already had, the actual cash outlay was not a ton.
Nice, I like that you went with your own approach! Makes it unique.
