Looks interesting, although it's far, far away of my price point for a custom keyboard.
- Lose your career as a computer user.
- Surgery.
- Try funky expensive keyboard with lots of research behind it, and tons of testimonials.
The funky expensive keyboard suddenly looks like the cheap option.
If you don't value your time, or enjoy 3d printing and assembling stuff, kits get shipped every few months, with all the electronics, and access to the files needed to 3d print the board.
I'm typing this on a board I printed. If I valued my time at my hourly rate, the price listed is dirt cheap. But I enjoyed doing it :)
Also, sadly, the salaries in my country aren't that high that it makes it look cheap compared to do it yourself.

That said, if there is a true need, talk to the owner. I've watched this business for a while. I have enough parts to have Svalboards forever. But I decide to stay and help, because his heart is in the right place with regards to this whole thing.
That said, he has to put food on the table, and I respect that.
I'd say it's well worth the price for people that need it!
