Been thinking of doing this for over a year and finally got round to it. Found parts. Spent hours soldering, lubricating, stuffing with foam and programming QMK. So happy with the final result. It's a joy to use.
Gateron yellow switches. YMDK PCB, backplate and case. Ali Express keycaps.
It's a budget build and none of this is high end......but it has still worked out really well.
As someone with a split spacebar, for me it is: backspace | delete | space
it really is the one thing I cannot go back on.
Holy crap this might make me go buy a mech kit.
