i was actually going to try to solder this weekend lol. i want to make a switch box for a CST trackball, and i was going to try it on that since i figured it wouldn't be too expensive if i messed it up.

The hard part of soldering is not cooking components. The components on a KB are really quite heat tolerant. 80 some odd switches and just as many diodes would be plenty of training in order to not cook the controller. Since Dox is specifying a teensy you don't even solder the controller, just board to board connections.

What kind of keycaps would fit? Geninue double shot Cherry keycaps? Any suggestions on the default layout?

Yeah I'll probably take 2 for myself too so we are already at 5! Genuine cherry keycaps will fit just fine except for the larger keys.
For the layout I was going for something similar the original key64 but in qwerty. This will be completely re-programmable.

I could elaborate a bit on this, but I'll summarize: curved is hard.

And curved PCBs are friggin expensive.
