No need to bend the legs, no need to do wire stripping. I did this in 30 minutes casually... I guess the full halve will take around 1 hour
Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards
Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)
i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²
¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Good to know, it looks very clean!
The diodes seem to be flying!
Practically, I guess assume you hold the diode to the pin, solder it, bring the wire to the diode and solder it. How do you hold the diode, the iron and the solder at the same time?
My guess is you pre tin the switch pin, get a blob of solder on your iron and have the diode in tweezers at the ready then put it all together. It only needs a small bead of solder (and flux).
yes this is how I did it!
