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 am a vim user (and use vim keybinding for web browsing), so I rarely need to use both my mouse and keyboard at the same time.

Wondering what is the bottleneck for the system. Number of requests per second or something?

Not very feasible I think. Our messages are basically broadcasts, so unless every server respect the privacy of their users and implement some kind of rate limiting, otherwise the data will still be public. I think privacy issue will require regulation instead of a technical solution.

I use thumb keys with mod-tap (control and shift, combined with some other commonly used keys such as space and enter), so far it works great.

And in case you don't know, for QMK, there is an option https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/docs/tap_hold.md#hold-on-other-key-press that allows faster hold when using mod-tap.

40% low profile keyboard?
