Soldering seems pretty daunting but it's actually not as hard as you think, especially when it comes to just soldering keyboard pcbs. Soldering stuff like diodes or doing handwiring is a lot more daunting, to me at least but it seems that with enough practice that should be fine as well (but atm I'm still not that level I feel)
Thank you for the video recommendation! I've watched it just now, the lady made it seem very easy! I wonder if I'll get the hang of it quickly. Guess I'll have to find out!
Pangea keyboard will be south paw and ISO fellow human
Thank you! I've looked at them and they seem very promising! With that price tag, though, perhaps I'll buy a kit (if my wallet allows for it!) and keep it for an "endgame" build!
If I am not mistaken, it looks like the ISO version will only be available with a solder-only PCB (which would make sense, as I've observed that many solder-only PCBs allow for many different layouts at once), which at my current skill level would be quite a terrifying ordeal considering the value of such a 'board!
