 @6aef21eb Yes that key cap set is from GMK and definitely cost more than the keyboard. The switches are a Gateron brown variant that I bought a while back: https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/keyboards/accessories/99911-acckcswgg21 No qmk support. I've long had a requirement that my boards must be programmable but I recently discovered https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd so I'm going to try using that to customise this one.

 @60ead002 oh, hadn't heard of keyd before. Would love to hear your experience using it. Is the keyboard an Akko model? Since I'm more into ergo boards these days, I'm not up to date on regular models.

 @6aef21eb the board is this one https://www.keebmonkey.com/en-au/products/wk870

I used a Keyboardio Model 100 for a while. I liked the split nature but I miss dedicated keys. I think TKL or thereabouts is my ideal (after a lot of experiments with smaller boards)

 @6aef21eb Ok I have successfully replicated the most important parts of my custom keyboard firmwares with keyd:

- Swap Alt and Super
- Caps Lock = Ctrl
- Backtick = Esc
- Left control = go to function layer
- Function backtick = backtick

Still got to do the macros. Undecided whether to do those or move them to espanso. Will probably do the later.
