I don't know how deep you've gotten into custom layouts yet.
If you reach the point you are actually starting to handwire/build some of them, you should visit r/HandwiredKeyboards.
It's a friendly little sub dedicated to handwired boards, as the name would imply.
It's got everything from small macropads, to full keyboards, split orthos, etc...

Havenโ€™t tried it with the rgb since Iโ€™m not a big fan of it. Iโ€™ll try to post up a typing test with the rgb soon.

People still help people a lot here.
It's a relatively small number of people here that give the sub a bad reputation.
Assuming 1/10 of a percent of the people here are complete asshats, that's 1,000 people creating all the problems, in a population of over 1,000,000.

I focus my attention on the people who are willing to have actual discussions, whether they agree with me, or not.
I will admit some of the "improvements?" they've made to the sub are off-putting in themselves, and make it more difficult to help people, but I still see a lot of people trying to help where they can.

I don't worry about what other people think.

The things I make, I make for me.
If somebody else doesn't like what I made, they can go make their own things.
As long as my stuff works well for me, in the environment it was designed for, other people's opinions are completely irrelevant.

My latest "non-normal layout" is a 69-key split spacebar ortho layout, stuffed into a 60% case, with HHKB blockers.
A lot of people don't comprehend how it works, or how efficient it really is, but that doesn't matter to me.
It works beautifully for me, in my work environment, which is exactly what I designed it for.
