MKC75 custom keyboard with a red aluminum case and beige SWG keycaps

My first group-buy keyboard. After MyKeyClub disappeared, I dug into its compiled firmware and rebuilt the QMK source with help from AI. The story got a little out of hand.

Keycaps: SWG Beige ABS DoubleShot

The MKC75 was my first group-buy keyboard, and it is now the only board here that runs firmware I built myself. MyKeyClub shut down and took the source with them, so I reverse engineered the compiled firmware and rebuilt the QMK source.
