Sorry I cannot help for the wiring. I sold the board to a gentleman in China.

I think the RSI from typing comes from the nerves in the hands and wrist. You have an advantage having strong drummer wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome comes from compression on the bottom of the palm, typical of those who type without proper technique. By touch typing wrists floating in the air you avo...

Typing the right way is better for the wrist and minimize RSI, it's not subjective jut objective. Every wrist cannot stand being injured IMHO. Better to learn now than when you are injured.

Oh no I am not a luthier, I work in IT management and I am a musician (piano, guitar, uke, Stick Chapman etc.) I did restore my old Martin ukulele (from 1960) some years ago.

I used a sheet of abrasive paper 120 grit than I spray with glue then pit it on an plywood large Planck. Then I use both hands to hold the body and sand like this on all sides. Then used 250 grit.

DIY numpad, sized to match 60%

EDIT : I did the 60% keyboard too after I finished the numpad because I like it and had still spare rosewood from the little slab I bought : https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2904/33371100233_9d2124eda9_k.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2944/34024815172_0c1ffc3d19_k.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2...

Thanks for your share of experiment! I contacted Bunnylake and will have some JTK sliders arriving soon too. I wanted this since the day I bought my Rf105. Because in all honesty the keycaps just aren't pretty even though they do feel nice.

Wow, the 101 case is gorgea! Seems like the JTK sophomore is not on sale anymore... Are the chinese ones problematic? I see I will have to drill the plastic for the stabilizer posts to pass through, it's not that big of a deal I guess! The RF105 has a PCB that may not be compatible with the RF101 ca...

Yes it's been experienced by all who tried or use ortho : it's switching between keyboard that is the reason to keep the staggered layout.

The answer lies in the question in itself. You say "good" or some say "ideal", and those are highly subjective terms defined to tastes, habits and your mood/the weather... Good quest nonetheless!

You can try to resolver, if you have a small tip soldering iron. I broke a cap connection on a Satan too and did that, it need just a little heat as the old solder is enough. If it's just that it's an easy repair and you will have two pcbs so two layouts possible!
