> I dived into the custom keyboard rabbit hole just 3 weeks ago Take your time, the GAS is real and expensive ! All jokes aside, ordering small batches of PCBs is unfortunately very expensive, especially if you have a larger size. If you ever feel the itch of going towards ergonomic split keyboards, you'll find plenty of ~40% splits that use reversible PCBs for both halves which allows for cheap batches. Typically you get 5 PCBs with JLC and that gives you enough to build one full keyboard for work and one for home.

I caught my [nearly perfect] unicorn, but I'm not telling you what it is, because a.) it is too embarrassing and b.) don't wanna ruin your chase :-) There are some hints I can tell you though: + it's low profile (Kailh) + it's TKL 80% and 100% + it's available ANSI and ISO + it's wireless o it's not split (I like it this way but it depends on personal taste) - it's NOT hot swappable - it's not QMK / ZMK Probably I'm going to work on the hot-swappable thing via Mill-Max 7305 or 3305 (already ordered a pack), but the soldering will really take time, even if I use soldering paste and I have to order a second one for experimens.
