Re: "Anyone else having custom keyboards?"
I did build a 36-key Corne split board just to see if I could, but my soldering skills leave something to be desired still, and I wound up getting tired of having to keep redoing it when the connection for the battery cables kept coming undone. I think this was aggravated by my taking it in and out of a case constantly to bring it to work and back.
I ultimately bought a Glove80, and after settling in to it, I've become quite taken with it. I'm considering getting a second so I can have the exact same experience at work and at home, rather than using my Moonlander at home while the Glove80 stays at the office. Along with switching to split mechanicals, I changed to a Colemak layout.

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?
