Here's what I play to get the sound in my head Instead really what you want the brain to do is say: With the keys labeled it would be like training wheels and difficult to get people off of this because the translation would constantly be: It would be difficult to teach people to think about the creativity and harmony and melody aspect of music and to directly translate what they hear in their head into muscle memory to reproduce it. The best way to describe it is imagine a piano with every single key labeled as to what the note is. I only realized after the adjustment that each time I had to find one of these keys it was a minor interruption to my current thoughts. I did not realize that my brain was still wired to look at the keyboard periodically, specifically when dealing with special characters and really anything outside of typical alphanumeric. So I'll give it a shot to explain the difference after I got adjusted to it: I had the same curiosity about offering a blank keyboard because I've been using one for 8 years or so after it was recommended by a former co-worker who I have huge respect for. Often low profile boards are caseless, meaning that PCB is open.

~$150: Total, excluding soldering iron and consumables. $30: x50 Kailh low profile switch (you might need less that that) $50: x5 JLCPCB PCB print (you cannot order less than 5 PCBs so you'll have spare parts) $20: x2 ProMicro (type C version exists on Aliexpress) microcontroller Price list would look something like this (shipping included): If one capable of soldering board by themself you can get pretty much any layout under $150 (for USB version, BLE MCUs are a little more expensive). Regarding lowprokb's corne it is worth mentioning that $320 for board is a lot in a low profile community. I was disappointed that traction was gained by (subjectively) horrible row-stagger layout on a non-split board without extensive configuration capabilities. By the post title I hoped to see link to something like Ferris Sweep github page with open source PCB and QMK/ZMK configuration.
