I built a Levinson

This was my first wireless build, and getting that working for the first time felt like magic: the two halves show up as one keyboard to pair just like any other Bluetooth device. I learned how to use mill-max sockets to convert a non-hot-swap board to a hot-swap board, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. I love the look of the entire top surface being covered in keys with no screen or wasted space. I thought I might like the grid layout, but it just wasn’t comfortable for me to type on. I also learned that I don’t like uniform keycap profiles.
