I see Filco or Topre it's automatically upvote for me. Filco is like a lost relics in the current generation, but I still keep mine around for memory of the simpler times LOL. I had a Filco Ninja Majestouch 2 MX Red, it was my 2nd mechanical keyboard. First one was Das Keyboard 3.

As for headphone, how do you like R70X? Always want to try audio technica headphone but wasn't sure if I should try R70X or AD1000X/AD2000X.

Yes! I just updated my git repo with my latest rev. Keep in mind it's very simplified. I really don't know this language well but hey, this does what I need it to so I'm not going to mess with it anymore.

Credit to kahgoh on git for the bones of the RGB code and his awesome tutorial on finding the LED indexes for the Iris. This writeup was SO helpful. He made a map you can find at the end of the article that illustrates the default layout's snaking order. He also mentions the indexes for the underglow LEDs in that guide.

This was a semi DIY - Keebio sells the finished PCB board (soldered, hot swap, flashed) but I also had to purchase the top and bottom plates and optional middle layer. It took about an hour to put together, their documentation is very helpful! I also got some tall cone bumpers to angle both sides slightly since I didn't love the tenting system they suggested from ErgoEZ. Keycaps and switches are separate. Also forgot to mention I added some blank white keycaps since I needed those little tactile bumps on the surface to help with my thumb orientation.

My advice is to keep your regular keyboard close and plugged it for when you get frustrated and really need to type something out, but still try to use your new layout most of the time with non critical stuff. It is easier to lean when youre having fun with it without frustrations. GL!
