Reply to comment by RayTracingOn in Me whenever I ask a question or post a non-meta keyboard in this sub by HydroCigna

i remember first getting into this hobby, i could not buy stuff like this, same with audio stuff so i would just talk to people about it and a thing i did alot was make keyboard layouts and people would just shit on me for the most random things, like a non standard space bar or non normal layouts and stuff like that. sad really

I don't worry about what other people think.

The things I make, I make for me.
If somebody else doesn't like what I made, they can go make their own things.
As long as my stuff works well for me, in the environment it was designed for, other people's opinions are completely irrelevant.

My latest "non-normal layout" is a 69-key split spacebar ortho layout, stuffed into a 60% case, with HHKB blockers.
A lot of people don't comprehend how it works, or how efficient it really is, but that doesn't matter to me.
It works beautifully for me, in my work environment, which is exactly what I designed it for.

I don't know how deep you've gotten into custom layouts yet.
If you reach the point you are actually starting to handwire/build some of them, you should visit r/HandwiredKeyboards.
It's a friendly little sub dedicated to handwired boards, as the name would imply.
It's got everything from small macropads, to full keyboards, split orthos, etc...

This ... like who is going to see your layout? (well maybe people at r/battlestations but thats about it).

If I want my setup to look like a pack of unicorns had a frat party and threw rainbows all over my 3 full sized keyboards .... its my setup after all.
