My chinese mechanical Keyboard seems to stop working reliably (some keys give no input anymore). Removing and reinserting the Switches only helps for short amount of time.

Does anybody have recommendations for nice mechanical keyboards. Ideally something with a opensource firmware that I can use on Linux. Kits and self building would also be interesting.

@n00b0ss what size/layout? Row or column stagger? Are you interested in full DIY with soldering and compiling your own firmware, or just basic assembly of switches/keycaps you bought separately?

@petejohanson tbh idk yet ... I have no experience ... I personally don't have a problem with soldering and putting effort in to it.

@petejohanson I find split Keyboards with a trackball interesting but the option I found online are not cheap and I'm not sure If I really can get used to this kind of layout.
