Chordie - a chording keyboard you shouldn't be scared of, updated!
Hope you like it. You can find some pics and videos in the gallery. There's a full guide and chord cheat sheet on my Github.

[WIP] Weekend build turned out surprisingly good.
It's very easy, just like any other encoder. One example can be found here.

Documentation on IO expanders?
For a working I2C expander based keyboards you can check my IIIC and Chordie. Sadly you can't get away from writing your own matrix scanning as there's no easy way to make reading I2C expander states in QMK. MCP23017 and MCP23018 have the same register addresses so there's no problem with moving the code between those two.

newbie that wants advice on if i must solder? (weird 10-key)
You might want to check my chording keyborard Chordie. It's 3D printable/handwired. Also making use of ASETNIOP just like Ginny but this one is running on /r/DennyTom engine and has a bit more features than Ginny.

so this is my very first build of the Skeletyl! Personally I love the aspect of having the entire setup contained in one unit so i made a go at making one of these a uniboard with a trackball integrated in! Let me know what you think of the build!
Welcome to the Keyboard&Trackball family. Once you start using such a combo there's no going back. I have just attached one to my updated IIICC. Still work in progress but since I started using Chordie with trackball I knew I can't go back to keyboard + mouse. Reaching out to mouse is so annoying.

Typing with a pen?
Typing with a pen on a virtual keyboard sounds slow, I'd be looking into an ergonomic split keyboard or a chorded keyboard instead.

One of the most interesting keyboard/mouse setups I have seen to date.
Hi all! I'm the creator of Chordie. Thank you very much for all the comments and upvotes! I am glad that you find my project interesting. /u/_eLRIC already posted all the relevant links so I will only add project page on my Github. You can also find some other interesting projects there like breakout boards for mouse sensors, namely ADNS9800 and PMW3360.

Ducky Shine 7 ghosted backlights?
EDIT - Additional Info: I do usually use third-party RGB controller software to modify the backlights, I didn't realise how limited the vanilla Ducky software is in customisability when I bought the keyboard, so I use Aurora RGB for this https://www.project-aurora.com

How to sync RGB light of a Steelseries keyboard and a Logitech mouse?
Unless with the help of third-party projects. For example, Aurora.

So Cryptic put a Starfleet logo on Razer keyboards during login screen…or at least they tried.
It might be possible to do it using Project Aurora / git hub, an opensource 3rd party rgb middleware that tries to juggle the various proprietary APIs.

G915: Make Numpad and Caps change color when pressed
I run a program called Aurora on top of G Software to get that functionality though.

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
I have a Roccat Vulcan 120 RGB keyboard which has a sweet volume knob on it. Don't use the software that comes with it though. I use Project Aurora[1] to control the lights on the keys. I'm able to program color/fx/animation per key per program that has focus. It's useful if you have new software or a game you're not used to. For example, you can highlight all the relevant keys to help you memorize them.
But mainly I use it to play an audio waveform of any music that's playing. And highlight caps lock whenever it's on.
