Interesting. I'd like to build my own keyboard, but my crafting skills are not good enough for it. It's a pity how few tenkeyless mechanical keyboards with a ctrl<->capslock dip switch there are, and most of them don't allow you to install matching custom key caps. I'm currently using a Pok3r, which is okay, but I really wish there were more custom keyboard options on the market.

I suppose it's because everyone knows how to do that mapping in their OS these days. Many mechs even have reflashable firmware, if it came to that.


If you boot several OSes, use ssh connections, and remote desktop connections, this really becomes a hassle. It always breaks at the wrong moment with some kind of OS update. Especially key remapping on Linux is a horrible experience in the long run.
