Suuuuuuper frustrating events. There was a brief time that some small home artisans who no longer exist were actually reputable in the community and vendors I looked to for inspiration… If you’re going to make cables just make sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew and if the burnout hits then it’s time to stop.

From what I hear though Cable Mods really tried to help people who got ripped off so I give them some major props! I also love what Cruz Ctrl has done I think he has stayed consistent for years.

Interesting 🤔 Do you know of any kits that don't require soldering? So I could just get the switches and keycaps and be ready to go. I imagine it's going to be pretty expensive though...

Looks like a lumberjack. I have one as well and got my kit from https://keebd.com/en-us/products/lumberjack-5x12-ortholinear-keyboard-kit. The middle is microcontroller and associated circuitry for the keyboard. It's exposed for aesthetic purposes (a lot of people like the look of through hole electronics) and is covered by an acrylic plate that comes in the kit.

I would be really interested in trying out this layout. So, a few questions.

  1. What is this board?
  2. Where can I find it?
  3. What's that in the middle?
  4. How do you cover it?
  5. :)

It’s on their official discord. M3 mouse releases later today, next week is the K10 Pro, Valentine’s Day is Q11 (southpaw 1800). The other images of the boards are also on their discord, but without a launch date .
