I started with the GH60, then handwired a broken ducky shine 3 with a teensy 2. I now use a jd40 and I'm waiting for a planck.
I didn't come up with it out of the blue... I think I was asking some IRC friends about dip switches and if there were any keyboards that supported a switch for disabling or remapping caps lock. Someone showed me the mechanical keyboards subreddit and that lead to a massive rabbit hole.
For anyone interested, handwiring an older mechanical keyboard is like the super budget way of getting a programmable keyboard since you don't have to buy switches, PCBs, keycaps, or plates. There's plenty of information online and the leopold and ducky cases are big enough to house everything once you desolder the PCB. Teensy 2 is like $17.
