    Awesome build! The switches look neat!

    I made the mistake of not getting a kit when building my TBK mini with per-key RGB. Hand-soldering what feels like hundreds of connections between MxLEDBits is not fun :/

    Enjoy your keeb, it looks amazing! How is the trackball sensitivity btw?

      I can imagine the pain soldering the single key pcbs and then wiring them. I think if i did another build, i would skip the per key LEDs entirely…

      Trackball is pretty good. The sensor and PCB are great and it i like the position now that i have gotten used to it. The ball bearings are not perfect, but go a long way. Maybe one day i will look into BTUs. There is a mod that uses a trackpad instead, which i would be willing to try out of sheer cusiosity.
