So, in the end, this was my before and after the "refurbishing": I've asked for a bamboo case _without_ tilting/tenting kit, and the keyboard came with it. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

But most tedious thing was the diamond-shaped key on the bottom row, left half: it's asymmetric with respect to the right side!
On the right, the four arrows are all close together. On the left, three keys are together and one is in the middle of nothing, alone.

Baby's back from Poland!
I love the smell of bamboo...
Thanks for the care and support.

Day 8+20 "with" my : 8 because I had it for 8 days, and 20 days since I've sent it back to to fix the wrong case I've received.
Today, the shipping back from FalbaTech to me has been prepared: will I have my keyboard back before the end of the week? Don't think so, but let's hope so...

So, I've sent my back to to have the bamboo case I've actually asked for, and to fix the left side positioning error for the rightmost "mod key".
Brought the parcel to post office on August 8th, "shipped" from there on 9th... arrived on 17th.
Probably a post person went from Italy to Poland by feet...
And no new from FalbaTech, anyway.
πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ wondering how my (almost) €350 will end...

Day 6 without my : I've been to post office on August 8 to return it to , to replace the case, and according to Italian postal service it's still somewhere in Italy. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜ πŸ˜‘πŸ€¬
It would've been easier and faster to go on holidays in Poland.

I could never get used to the flat arrow keys on my , so I swapped the /? key with the left arrow to make an inverted T. That helped a lot. Beyond that it just took some time. And now I really like having the symbol keys available on the home row!

Glad that I've bought my from , but:
1. I've asked for no tilting/tenting kit, and there is one. Not a big issue, but removing it will expose the screws holes, now. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
2. The asymmetry of lowest four keys, in left (mods) and right (arrows) halves is really annoying.

Being gazillion years I'm using reverse T layout for my arrow keys,

using the linear layout arrow keys

of my new is really extremely absolutely difficult. 😱
Columnar staggering is not the problem, arrow keys are!
I'm getting a really crazy headache...

My brand new by .

First feelings: lightweight, wonderful bamboo, nice packaging and "add-ons": free keyholder, free (bamboo!) wrist rest in this period, tenting added (even if not requested), a couple of candies too!

Second feeling: friggin' difficult to get used to, but lovely.

In the end, this (might) probably be my layout when carriers and post offices will decide to bring me my from FalbaTech and the keycaps from YMDKey.

I've pompously called it develop-it. It's just a simple QWERTY split layout with an additional layer for Italian accented letters. Things repeat for a further Colemak Mod-DH layer and its accented layer as well.
See also the comment for clearer layout.

So, in the end, it's done.
I've bought another .
Since 2018 I'm on a Filco Majestouch 2 TKL, at home and since 2021 a GMMK 1 TKL in office.
Now I've just bought from an v1, with three 1u keys in the thumb areas, no underglow or damn LEDs πŸ˜‡ and Kailh White Box switches.
And this DSA PBT keycaps set, from ymdkey.com/products/107-dsa-pr
Happy birthday to me

I've been to Tokyo store on June 30. A real paradise: they have almost everything and the clerk I've spoke with (in English and Japanese) was very kind and helpful.
I've spent 1h trying to force him selling me a showcase keyboard I've loved... but prebuilt keyboards they have "in the store are only for showcase"! πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ (WHY?!?!!?)
Anyway, in the end I've seen, live, the and I've felt in love with it.
, wait for my order! 🫢🏻

Uhm. Not so nice bamboo case from .
Strange, they usually do nice things: there might be a reason for that.

@kambing fwiw the journey to build a mechkeeb is as satisfying as using one. I built an and didn't know much about electronics or soldering at the time.
