Yeah I have a bunch of the felt Keebmats, I love them. I just would love to be able to buy something with an interesting design too

I do shift and space, then I put my layer keys where the shift keys would normally be.
Works pretty well.

Pretty good quality imo! I just changed the switches to Gateron Silent Brown ones, from the Jelly Pink by default

Yeah, exactly what the guy above said. Honestly, with some practice and proper tools soldering is not too bad. The only hard part is the USB c port. There are sellers who will solder that for a fee. Not too sure but there is probably a subreddit where you can find someone to solder the board for you.
Lumberjack is my second ortholinear keyboard. I like the aesthetics and the middle part gives just enough space for me to be comfortable while typing. The other keyboard I have is a full split, iris. Just trying out a new keyboard.

I use ANSI. I went ANSI a few years ago when it was tricky to get anything in ISO, but things seem to be changing now. I'm used to ANSI now though, so I'm sticking with it. The set came with ISO terminal support, but not proper ISO for UK layout.

This would go well with a white board, but so would all other colours.

Do NovelKeys support ISO layout or you on an ANSI setup?
Am currently using ANSI but hoping to build an ISO layout next

Reply to Thoughts on flex-cut PCBs? by CodeOConductViolator
Flex cuts can be nice but a lot of PCBs nowadays have flex cuts because it's the cool thing to do.
The current meta is all about flex and bounce, so having soft plastic plates and a ton of flex cuts on the PCB is going to make the board jump up and down when you're typing on it. This can feel over the top and since all the energy is used up to move the PCB/plate assembly, the sound can be quite underwhelming. Lots of people nowadays don't understand that more of something isn't always better.
Instead of talking about the keyboard feel, people (reviewers and content creators especially) do a "flex test" where they push down on the keyboard with 5 kg of force and showcase how much the plate/PCB assembly bends. That doesn't really give you an idea of how it is to type on the keyboard, but designers and manufacturers accommodate their designs to these things because they think it matters.
There is nothing inherently wrong with flex cuts, but depending on the execution you can really see who's doing it for a nicer typing feel and who's doing it to sell more keyboards because it's the current hype thing.
