As we publish more articles in the "Mech Keys How-To" series currently ongoing, navigating the various topics and finding previous articles will only become more difficult. This thread will serve as a table of contents to help add some structure to the whole project. Feel free to also suggest future topics in this thread, as it will surely be easier to identify gaps and opportunities for further exploration when viewing everything as a whole.

Thank you so much for this. Veterans see this stuff and it ask just clicks, heh. As a newcomer to custom keyboards I’m completely overwhelmed and lost. Let’s not pretend that a $300 investment in a keyboard is cheap, it’s good to have this info so that we don’t mess up and misplace our money.
This table of contents is such a great idea! Bookmarking now so I don't miss anything...

what accents are used with the Hyperfuse set in the photo?
involuntarysoulThose are GMK CMYK for the Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys and GMK Purple Mods for the Backspace (both really old GB versions - I'm sure they've been run again since).
HoffmanMysterone set was listed on mechmarket a day ago, sold instantly, rip
Good idea, MUCH easier to find "the good stuff" this way!
