I think there is a distinct branch to this path. When you start building your own mechanical, ergonomic keyboards. I know this because I have built my first one couple of weeks ago [1], and am already thinking of how I can improve it.

Same here. I built a Dactyl Manuform, and it was definitely worth the hassle. I do agree with the OP that the stuff you see on the MK subreddit and similar sites is ridiculous, and mostly rip-offs.

I'm wanting to a 'tracktly' with a track ball on the right thumb cluster.

Gotta admit - the DM cases look like a bear to solder in.

I'm no expert, so it was kinda tough to get everything in, yes :D

Kudos on the perserverance :-)

Hope you didn't burn too many fingers! :-D
