It's been open long enough to be used but you still have the plastic film on it. What heresy is this?

When you say "build my own" do you mean "purchase a kit and additional parts and solder it myself" or "design a PCB and case myself, and then purchase the parts and solder it myself"?

I'm so tiny keyboard pilled I could never imagine anything with a number row fitting the description of a "small keyboard", haha. 60% is big!

Welcome to the rabbit hole. I don't have specific recommendations but I'd check out the /r/ErgoMechKeyboards subreddit, especially the wiki as we've got links to catalogues of keyboards on there as well as where to buy.

Enjoy.

I was so tempted by butter knife but the shipping across the Atlantic was more than the cost of the board given the weight and decided against it in the end.

Fuck if I can spell licensing tonight

IIRC the licencing for them was not cheap

I have the base kit and novelties sitting in a drawer at my place. Sadly they are spoken for when I get around to it.

One of the forms of verification they support is pgp, they also have their own keys for each device that use the same basic asymmetric cryptography as pgp but one valid way to make proofs is to sign them with your pgp keys.

*surely* you have a domain you could use? Still a link to that from your YT account would help to verify the domain is yours and thus, same difference really, but it certainly looks cooler IMO.
