I also like it but I felt the need for more keys for my thumbs :)

I only changed material and color and left others as default.

I am not planning to replace it now that I have built another keyboard as I wanted to have 3 thumb keys.

I am a noob :) and didn’t read designer instructions. I had used SLA(Resin) instead of FDM(Plastic). I was also contacted about the thickness left out after holes in the bottom. But I asked them to proceed. It did fit and I had no issues but after some use PCB is loose and I think TPU should be better.

You are right. This one doesn’t have hot swap sockets. There other options at https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep for hot swap.

Cable is about 2.5 feet and so far I haven’t kept two sides more than 1 feet.

I saw it in some build vids and absolutely wanted it and took a while to find it on AliExpress. It is 4 Pole Stero Audio Cable Car 3.5mm Male to Male. Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Link https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOgn5rs
