Kinesis Advantage360 ZMK vs SmartSet
All in all, I'm quite happy with it. SmartSet is much more accessible than most of the custom stuff I have around (actually my favorite custom firmware thus far is the very underrated EasyAVR).

I buildt myself a macro-keyboard
I recommend looking at EasyAVR and its use with custom boards. This may be easier than working through the Arduino IDE once you get the initial legwork done. There are lots of alternatives too, such as:

Practical question about living with 40% split (+ custom keeb identification)
Similar features are supported by several applications such as KMonad. Basically the only reason to prefer a firmware solution is if you often switch systems (physical computers, virtualization, remote desktop) and keeping more of your configuration in the keyboard is simpler ... and I suppose if you run into latency issues with features like tap/hold.

Kinesis Advantage360 ZMK vs SmartSet
A lot of my input customization is better implemented [on Linux] in KMonad and then the usual XKB ... and Emacs (or other text editor).

Warpstone✨
Lower-level software like KMonad has more or less feature parity with QMK.

Is a DIY keeb worth it?
While usually true, much of the same effect can be achieved by using a converter (such as hasu's) that can be built for as little as $15 or so, or in software on the host computer (such as kmonad).

Hewwo, allow me to show you my qute keyboard. (Ferris Bling, choc reds)
if somebody is reading this and not familiar with the way how to mod the laptop (or any other) keeb, check KMonad. very slightly buggy but amazingly powerful. and i think there are some alternatives. havent done the proper research though

Thoughts on this layout?
Couple of months ago I discovered KMonad (win/mac/linux) which kind of changed my life really. That way you can have functionality similar to what QMK offers (was sort of the main inspiration for the creator of KMonad) with literally any keyboard.

Custom keyboard layout
started using Kmonad https://github.com/david-janssen/kmonad seems to be a modern software solution for this, and works well for me.

Autokey help
I don’t know much about AHK, but if it ends up not working you could look into using kmonad instead.

syntax keyword for foo-bar as a whole word
I wanted to make a syntax plugin for kmonad which has a lot of functions with dashes between the names of it (e.g. tap-next-release function). However, when I use syntax keyword kbdFunction tap-next-release it is interpreted as they are separated words and won't highlight any of them for some reason. Is there any way to make them all highlighted as a single keyword?
What are some alternatives?
When comparing EasyAVR and kmonad you can also consider the following projects:
