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!

    What are some of your recommendations for an ergo keyboard with f row and minimal layers.

    All of the ergo keyboards I see out there never have the F row and have so many layers.

      You can customize a Dactyl to have them. But here are some that have function keys that are a bit more pre-designed:

      I’m sure there are more out there, but they’re not popular so you have to customize or dig.
