comment: Board: Ferris Sweep
  Switches: Kailh Sunsets
  Keycaps: Hand dyed pink MBK Blanks
  Layout: Modified Miryoku
  
  After I got my Cantor Remix built and started to really use it, I made a joke to my circle of friends that 36 is the lowest I want to go. A friend said "yeah sure..." and she was apparently right.
  I ended up deciding I wanted to try a few things with this build. 1) I wanted to try and make Miryoku work with 34 keys. 2) I wanted to use the syhthwave silkscreem variant of the Sweep because it's a damn good looking board. 3) I really wanted the custom dyed caps from MK Ultra.
  Manna_Harbour had mentioned that there is a feature in their repos that combo the thumb keys together to act as the missing keys for the layout. I am currently zeroing in on a setup with this idea that will work for me. For example. I want media controls more accessable than mouse emulation so I moved mouse emu to combo both left thumb keys. I don't use F keys as much except when writing code so those could be moved to combos keys for my use case. This leaves navigation and media keys as hold actions on the left half and number layer and my custom symbol layer as hold actions on the right half. So far this really seems to be working. I did swap my Tab and Space key as well but that was more a comfort thing for me.
  So the Syhthwave variant of the Sweep High ended up not working out. I didn't read the fine print that they used MX spacing and I don't have the attention span to learn how to modify the choc spaced Sweep with the correct silkscreen and ENIG finishing. As a result and hefty learning experience, I now have $80 worth of High variant PBCs that I can't use. 10 total and 5 with actual gold finishing. Costly mistake. When I can find time, I wanna try and get rid of them in hopes that someone might put them to use. They are really nice looking prints. 
  Finally I had emailed MK Ultra, one of my current favorite stores mostly due to them really leaning into the "MK Ultra" theme, about if they were planning on another run of in-house dyed MBK keycaps. They are but no date on when. I am impatient and found a video on Youtube where a guy detailed his experience with dying caps for his Dirtywave M8(still don't know what that thing is) and decided to go for it. My wife used to hand dye yarn so we have the equipment on hand already. Just needed the keycaps and dye. I ordered white MBKs from MK Ultra because I need more stickers, and I used iDye Poly. Heated our now communal hobby dye crockpot, mixed in the dye and let it do it's thing for 30 or so minutes. The pink in the pic is the end result after washing them. 
  As the saying goes, endgame is a myth but this is another step on my journey on what I want when/if I decide to make my own design. I wanted to test a different thumb cluster arch with closer spacing and I wanted something that could be a grab and go keyboard for travel. I don't know if I will stick to a 2 key thumb cluster but it's also not all that bad. I just need to hold an extra key down once in a while. I think my mythical endgame is something between the Sweep and the Cantor though. Next on this journey is going to be finger splay. I got some A.dux PCBs and purple dye already. I just need to find time.
