I'm newly interested in mechanical keyboards, but have some experience with soldering and decided to build this budget(ish) kit on a whim

• CannonKeys Ortho48 v2 board ($36)

• JWK Mauve switches ($25)

• NicePBT Bonkers keycaps ($60 on sale)

I have the right "space bar" on this board mapped to Right Shift, plus a lot of the characters usually accessed with shift, like the symbols above the numbers, are actually on different layers.
