Re:Making My Own USB Keyboard from Scratch by jrockway on Sunday February 17, 2019 @06:48PM (#19187652)
I'll pass. I use a lot of custom QMK features, like the ability to position the two halves wherever I want, and don't like Cherry Blue and Brown keyswitches. (I'm using a combination of Novelkeys Box Royal and Hako Royal Clears to weight the pinky keys slightly less, much like the Topre Realforce boards I used before switching to an Ergodox.)

It is not perfect, of course, but ultimately I don't really care about the well. The keyboard being flat is not what made typing uncomfortable for me; your mileage may vary. I would switch back to Topre switches instantly, though. I like the way they feel. Someday I will figure out how to stick the mechanism into a Cherry keyswitch form factor.
