Just wanted to share a render for a keyboard I'm making. It's coming end of this year. I didn't show it in the pictures, but it would have legends on the keycaps. I've used dactyls and dactyl-likes before and I've always wanted one that feels solid with high quality injection molded cases instead of the 3D printed ones.

Yeah I totally get where you're coming from. Haven't released this yet but we made a web app that flashes firmware onto a microcontroller with WebUSB. It lets you just customize the keymap on the web app and then click the reset button on the keyboard then it does everything automatically. I'll post a picture when I have time.
Oh then there's a high chance they im not the actual target group. I've a multi layer and combo config with a bit of custom C code.
But it sounds like you're actually feeding a niche in the market that is underdeveloped overall, wishing you the best of luck!
