How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?
There's a whole range of DIY, from just swapping out keycaps, to designing, manufacturing, and hand-wiring from the ground up.
I don't know very well, but I would like to get my hands on the PCB I feel like, to know how it is mounted, what difference it can make
Thats more down to the case and plate than the PCB, you either need a case that supports multiple mounting types like carpool (https://github.com/dingusxmcgee/Carpool) or completely separate cases. For carpool you use the same PCB for all mount types and just change the plate.
