Howdy folks!

After letting my dactyl manuform build flounder for awhile, while I try to figure out a good way to reduce the tedium of hand wiring, I got tired of typing on a terrible KB. So, I ordered a Kyria v3 PCB kit and have started the tedium of adding Mill-Max sockets.

Wish me Luck!

      I already had switches, caps, nice!nanos, and am printing a temporary case while I finalize what I want to use (currently planning on a linen-reinforced epoxy - think FR4 but DIY and sub linen for glass fiber). So, cost for me was fairly low.

        Yeah, I already deleted the comment because the kit is not that tragically expensive by itself (although will make a an ergo mech keyboard for about 30$ with switches and caps, european vendors are relatively costly).

        How did you see this comment? I deleted it hours ago. :O

          Yeah. If you have everything but the PCB, it is rather cheap. It’s the other parts where the costs add up.

          For the comment, it must have been a quirk of federation. I saw it in my notifications in pre-deleted form.
