Been thinking of doing this for over a year and finally got round to it. Found parts. Spent hours soldering, lubricating, stuffing with foam and programming QMK. So happy with the final result. It's a joy to use.

Gateron yellow switches. YMDK PCB, backplate and case. Ali Express keycaps.

It's a budget build and none of this is high end......but it has still worked out really well.

Looks awesome. What's going on with the space bar?

[–] breckenedge 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Split spacebar, typically one is an enter key. Not sure what the middle would be used for.

As someone with a split spacebar, for me it is: backspace | delete | space

it really is the one thing I cannot go back on.
