Do you build your own mechanical keyboards?
I recently got my first mechanical keyboard, a launch heavy from System76 and I’m in love with this thing! It feels so nice to type on, and the build quality is excellent. I haven’t gotten to swapping out switches or caps, but I love being able to. Anyone else use this board before?

OK, I think I am a mech-kbd-nerd. But my partner calls me 'a violent coder' - bottoming out a brown Das keyboard (I prefer blue, of course). So I put my keyboard-nerdiness on hold for now, and whisper-type when she is around. I have two Das boards - a brown and a blue.

Anyone else having custom keyboards? — Some non-gemini friends insinuated that there would be an overlap between geminauts and mechanical keyboard nerds. Let's test that hypothesis! I (their only data point) have been daily driving my gherkin 30% keyboard for well over a year now (or is it two?) for fun and profit. Before that I had two planck 40%. How small is too small? What are you using? Am I alone here?
