Are you addicted to the clicking sounds of your beautiful and impressive mechanical keyboard?
If so, this community is for you!
Here you can discuss everything about mechanical keyboards (and only mechanical keyboards).

I guess my main question would be whether it makes sense to get this over any of the DIY (or other) flat low-profile QMK keyboards out there?
From what I remember, the price is somewhat steep on these things? That much steeper than putting together your own?
Depends on if you are willing to assemble the keyboard yourself or want something consumer ready I guess
Yep. THere's also how picky you want to be with the layout. For instance, I really would prefer a lower pinky-finger column than was provided on the Voyager and many other keyboards, whereas something like the Kyria is much more likely to be comfortable for me on that front.
Yea I believe you. Haven’t made a DIY myself but looked into it and it is surprising how expensive it can get. Meanwhile I’m pretty happy with a commercial mechanical split!
That and part availability / shipping times. I'd live to build more boards (I have three custom builds, a moon lander, a Ducky board, and now this) but I get super impatient hahaha
