This build was fun! I never soldered so many joints without destroying the product in the process. The Piantor Keyboard was really straight forward to build and I can recommend it as your first build.
As far as usage goes, 42 keys seem to be enough even for software development. You just have to be clever about using layers.
I am not in any way, shape or form affiliated with Beekeeb.
