Just something to share. I've never liked Alice keyboard mainly because of the form factor and the shape. After modelling it these past few days, it kinda grew on me. Now I really kind of appreciate how it looks and I might change my mind and gonna buy these instead of ID80. Thoughts?
Sure! Switch couture Alice - websitehere Sesame - ( you can buy the PCB from herehere or make it on jlpcb) Sesame's github ( get files from herehere ) Ymdk wings - ( made from alu but is pretty hollow from what I heard) get it herehere I will update the comment some time later :D just have some stuff to do

Some Sesame Love
I bought the kit from 42Keebs. They ship from Prague but their prices are very good, even shipping to the USA (where I am). If you want to experiment with Alice, this is a great way to do it on the cheap. The design files are also all publicly available on GitHub.

Looking for Through-Hole PCB Components
You can take a look at my Sesame repository for an example schematic and a list of parts. https://github.com/kb-elmo/sesame

Split Helix not working properly (right side works, left side or combined doesn’t)
I seem to be struggling with putting together a Helix (by MakotoKurauchi).

Comparing Hobby PCB Vendors
There are other benefits: A PCB design can be shared so that others can fabricate it themselves. (Or modify it if they wish). A PCB design will likely have a schematic, too, which can be studied.
I'd also bet that PCB projects are more likely to inspire better PCB projects. -- Or at least, the domain I've tried my hand at has been PCBs for custom mechanical keyboards.
e.g. I've seen boards inspired by https://github.com/hsgw/plaid such as https://github.com/coseyfannitutti/discipline or https://github.com/rtitmuss/torn and I think there are several popular split keyboard designs which basically descend from https://github.com/MakotoKurauchi/helix

I'm so done making keyboards lol. After trying out dactyl manuform I switched to what I wanted from beginning, preonic but split to combat deviation. Also the model is made by me
looks like you’ve circled back to the Helix …
