No need to bend the legs, no need to do wire stripping. I did this in 30 minutes casually... I guess the full halve will take around 1 hour
Nice, I can buy ch582f dev board for 2 dollars. Still very cheap!

Yeah WCH make some really cheap chips. Apart from ch552, there is also a family of BLE chips such as ch571f that is much more efficient than ESP32 (from online sources) and is very cheap. You can get the chip for half a dollar (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005974200193.html) and a development board for less than 3 dollars (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005974200193.html). When I bought it on taobao, it is actually around 1.3 dollars.
The downside is that software support does not exist (yet), so will have to try and make a firmware for it. I haven't yet found time as I was working on manifold things.
There were efforts trying to do make this simpler, but it was abandoned. See https://github.com/openscad/openscad/issues/4743 and related PR.
wondering if it is faster for you?
This looks pretty! Wondering where you guys get those fancy choc keycaps as well, I usually go to aliexpress (taobao in hk) and choc keycaps are much more expensive comparing to the normal kind of keycaps. I can usually get 60 normal keycaps for around $10 USD, but the price easily doubles for choc.
a soldering iron at 360 degree celcius
yes this is how I did it!
yeah, they are quite delicate. I wanted to use thicker ones but it is hard to get thick magnet wires. I never tried dropping them so idk, I guess making them less tensioned would help a bit
I think you should probably use a CAD instead of graphics software to design...
