Very cool! Thanks for sharing your journey. I like the use of cardboard on the underside of the PCB.
Good luck with learning the new layout. My advice is to not focus so much on WPM and instead remember how much easier it is to type on a better (more optimized) layout.
Very cool, thanks for sharing! I’ve placed two custom keycap orders with FK so far, and I was also very pleased with the results. The first order was placed in January, and the key caps arrived in plastic bags. It wasn’t an issue for me though. For the second order, FK switched to the vacuum-packed approach. So it looks like they are learning and improving.
I am planning another order. I agree that patience is essential when ordering anything special.
