Original Post:
I wanted to share a couple images for a keyboard I'm in the process of making. I've used dactyl-like keyboards before and I've always wanted one that feels solid with high quality injection molded cases instead of the 3D printed one I had, so this is me giving it a go. I didn't show it in the pictures, but it would be hotswappable and it'd have legends and blinds on the keycaps. I've previously operated a small online store called TaikoHub where I was selling 3D printed dactyls that I designed from scratch.

Design for manufacturing to optimize for injection molding

Not sure why but I'm still getting the 403 forbidden error when I try to attach an image. Here's pictures of the issue.

Looks beautiful! What do the innards of this keyboard look like, is it individual little PCBs for each socket then wired together?
