Hey! I saw posts from here on my feed, and have been sucked in. Beautiful keyboards!

But, I’m a bit overwhelmed with options. If I want to get started with an EMK, what would you suggest?

I am comfortable with general soldering (though haven’t done surface-mount), so putting a kit together should be doable. I use a Dvorak keyboard layout, so would prefer a way to customize keycaps. But … I would prefer a kit that comes with everything (or at least a checklist), and doesn’t require me to figure out what components to order, to help ensure I have compatible parts.

Thanks for your suggestions!

    I’m an absolute beginner, and I went with Beekeeb’s Piantor keyboard. I couldn’t be happier.

    The MBK Legend keycaps have homing versions for Colemak and Dvorak in standard kit if you go that route. They’re great keycaps
