So far so good. I went with a logitech 10 keyless style since it was only $39.99 on sale. I don't know what kind of switches this thing uses but it has pbt keycaps, I think? Anyway here it is on amazon. Feels good to finally have a new kb where I don't have to struggle pushing down the p key.

    I'm currently rocking an AliExpress Corne because why have a regular keyboard when you can have a keyboard that you have to spend a bunch of time programming to make useful? It's super fun, though. I love split keyboards.

    Getting a hotswappable board is also fun because then you can easily experiment with different switches. My favorites are currently the Gazzew Boba U4T Silents.

        Nice! How did the assembly go? Is it hot swap or did you solder the switches in? I've wanted to try building a keyboard but I have very limited soldering experience and feel like I would go crazy doing all the LEDs and sockets. I like the look of the stagger on the cantor.

          It wasn’t bad but I also love soldering lol. It’s a very simple kb (no hot swap, LEDs, or diodes) so assembly was just popping in switches and soldering, and the same for the microcontrollers and TRRS connection. I think if this ever dies though I definitely want something with hot swap, I like my kailh choc pinks but would love to keep experimenting w new switches

      Split keyboard gang! I have a sofle (lily58 derivative) with low profile choc switches (Kailh sunset oranges). Big love.

        Ooh, I almost went choc but stuck with MX. I want to try a board with sunsets at some point.

          Really like the low profile. Keeps your fingers lower and wrist in a better position. But it’s spoilt me, I don’t want to go back to mx now.

          Re the sunsets they’re great, the only good low profile tactile I’ve tried. I’d recommend to anyone who liked the old school MacBook Pro keyboard from back in the day. Which I say as a compliment. It reminds me of them in the best possible way.
