On: If You Can't Buy the Keyboard You Want, Build It I...

I was looking for something close to this design, particularly with low profile switches. Thanks.

Alas, it is presently unobtainium. I guess I need to consider building my own split keyboard using Cherry ML switches.

This is similar and in stock, if you’re okay assembling it. They have great build documentation.

The build looks reasonably straightforward. I suspect I wouldn't be able to use low-profile switches with this, but I'll fully admit I'm not well versed in keyboard assembly.

Thanks for this. I'm getting closer to what I'm looking for.

I bought an MD650L and found the switches to be unusably bad. I, too, wished for a low-profile Quefrency.

I'm comfortable designing and assembling PCBs but don't really have time to debug a brand-new design, so I've ordered a low-profile Lily58 kit. The Lily58 is most of what I want and has open source PCB, schematic and case. If it doesn't work for me, I'm expecting to modify it to something more like Quefrency.
