There's a certain trend to repairing existing electronics and keeping electronics waste out of landfills, right to repair and what not -- and that's the spirit I was talking about.

Even hot swap switches prevent more landfill waste as it makes it easy for people to replace bad switches. And if you want a reliable keyboard in the future, that's what you'll need, other wise it will just be more e-waste.

Owning 20 cars and maintaining them is a hobby. Owning 1 car and maintaining it is not -- it's life.

Oh, I've soldered my share of keyboards. But only in repairs, not in actually building one from scratch.
