First Full Custom KB Build
Everyone has to start somewhere, and I started here. I've done my share of pre-built KBs and as I'm sure many of us here have noticed none are perfect. The keycaps are good but the keys are flaccid. The keys are good but the backboard is iffy. Building a full board is something I look forward to typing on. A combination of lubed Panda keys and dual-injection MT3 caps provide a muted feedback that's like laying back in a broken-in leather couch. The only downside being it doesn't want for rapid typing. The key cap design requires more "lift" than a flatter key, and the keys while fluid seem...laggy. overall a solid 4/5 overall.

College themed keyboard
My wife wanted a keyboard that is themed after her college colors. It was exhausting/fun searching around for options. This hobby has expanded so much that the options are almost endless. I settled on the Daring Run DR-70f, Gateron EF Curry Linear Switches and DROP DCX Sapphire. She was very happy with the end result and most importantly, I got to build another keyboard. I love the layout of the Daring run and it was crazy affordable! Think I might take on the Flip 6 next.

HHKB layout keyboards that are Cherry MX hot-swappable
I see on Drop that the Tokyo 60 keyboard is rarely available. There is something in kit-packaging but not in black as I would love it. I love the HHKB layout to the point that I am configuring my ALT keyboard and my Hexgear Gemini as close as possible to it. But I struggle with keycaps due to the "backspace" and "|" swaps that the keycap sets on drop do not support. Why is Tokyo60 so rare on drop? What are the alternatives to it?

Flashing my new drop keyboard
Hello, I have received my new drop keyboard I was attempting to flash it using the Drop configurator software however when I do FN Left Control Backspace and use the flash function it disconnects. No matter what other flash option I choose my keyboard stops showing up in the configurator. The only option I found I can return to is the stock option. Sorry for my confusion I have never done this before.

A little frustrated by the Keyboard Club
Not sure what other's experience has been... but the Keyboard Club has been a pretty frustrating experience for me. The discount is supposed to be $30-100 USD. I looked at my history today, and there have only been a handful of times - IN 3 YEARS! - where my discount was more than $30. The odds of a deeper discount at a time I'm actually ready to buy are worse than the Powerball. I wish that Drop would start advertising this for what it is: Pay for the Club and you'll get $30 discount per month. It feels like it would be more honest than what we're seeing right now. After 3 years I canceled. I just can't justify paying for discounts that are (almost) always at the lowest end of the promised range.

I have finished my small DIY project with this switch I mentioned earlier. I chose not to wait to get the switch from Massdrop, but directly purchased from Novel Keys themselves.
I laid out a 6cm*6cm PCB for the big switch, used a pro micro as the controller and put 4 WS2812B RGB LEDs onto the board, as well as a small push button to control the light. It was not easy soldering the SMD LEDs by hand when I don't have access to a small tip soldering iron, but thankfully managed to do that without a major failure.
(The lay out is ugly, for a board like this I just used auto routing)
Here's a picture of how the PCB fit, before I put the components on there
I chose qmk as the base for the firmware, and wrote a set of configs for a two key keyboard, compiled them with msys2 on my PC and flashed it into the pro micro, and...... It works!
And that was my small project, hope you'll find it a little interesting. Let me know if you are doing something similar and need help or whatsoever.
The RGB is set to loop between colors in a smooth fashion, here are some more pictures
