This looks pretty! Wondering where you guys get those fancy choc keycaps as well, I usually go to aliexpress (taobao in hk) and choc keycaps are much more expensive comparing to the normal kind of keycaps. I can usually get 60 normal keycaps for around $10 USD, but the price easily doubles for choc.

yes this is how I did it!
yeah, they are quite delicate. I wanted to use thicker ones but it is hard to get thick magnet wires. I never tried dropping them so idk, I guess making them less tensioned would help a bit
I am a vim user (and use vim keybinding for web browsing), so I rarely need to use both my mouse and keyboard at the same time.
Wondering what is the bottleneck for the system. Number of requests per second or something?
Not very feasible I think. Our messages are basically broadcasts, so unless every server respect the privacy of their users and implement some kind of rate limiting, otherwise the data will still be public. I think privacy issue will require regulation instead of a technical solution.
I guess it is probably hard to expect users to be able to maintain their own keys. Idk, maybe there can be external identity services that helps users to store their keys, but mature users can just maintain their keys on their own? To avoid single point of failure, the key can be split into multiple parts so single compromised authority will not lead to account compromise... idk, just daydreaming.
I use thumb keys with mod-tap (control and shift, combined with some other commonly used keys such as space and enter), so far it works great.
And in case you don't know, for QMK, there is an option https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/tap_hold.md#hold-on-other-key-press that allows faster hold when using mod-tap.
40% low profile keyboard?
I would say that you need to try and modify your keymap. Mod-tap is useful for commonly used symbols.
Also, I would recommend you to try vim (or vim mode for some editors), as you can use modes instead of modifier keys.
wondering if it is faster for you?
