@e53e3529 yup, I leant KiCad and went for it! Ordered from JLCPCB. I was really happy with the quality and the delivery was pretty fast (only downside is you have to order at least five which means I have four R1 boards I never used and three R2). Handwiring is actually pretty easy. It’s time consuming for sure but there are loads of great tutorials out there now (and awesome firmware like KMK which is a lot less hassle than QMK because you don’t need to compile each time!)
