Very nice! How hard was the build? Which switches are you using?

Thankfully taking it apart is really easy, takes no time at all.
Yeah lemmy is still a bit rough around the edges for me too sometimes, still better than the official reddit client though ;)
I had to use some adapters to fit it to my system - the top fresh water connection is a 1" outside diameter (with an adapter to 3/4" inside diameter thread) and the bottom outlet is a 1/2" outside diameter thread with a Gardena (used a lot in Europe and Germany) style quick connect adapter included.
I am using BQ05 valves flashed with Tasmota: https://templates.blakadder.com/irrigation_timer_BQ05.html
They have been running drip irrigation for my raised beds for a couple of weeks now. Their wifi is kind of weak though, I needed to install an outdoor repeater to improve connection stability.
Edit: Using MQTT the valves appear als simple switches in home assistant and are easy to automate.
Awesome build! The switches look neat!
I made the mistake of not getting a kit when building my TBK mini with per-key RGB. Hand-soldering what feels like hundreds of connections between MxLEDBits is not fun :/
Enjoy your keeb, it looks amazing! How is the trackball sensitivity btw?
