I ordered a custom set a good time ago (months before the existence of this community) and the experience was comparable to yours.
I choose white mbk pbt and the laser engraving was really sharp and looks very good! Shipping was quite fast for me (8 days or something to Germany) but back then VAT was no accounted for during ordering (which I was informed of, no suprises there). So I had to pay VAT after receiving the package. Don't know how it's currently being handled though. Simon was also really responsive, so all in all a quite good customer experience.

The 2 pair of IEMs I use by far the most are my Blessing 2: Dusk and the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro (for convenience).
The Cheapino gets quite some love recently :D Saw a couple posts in the last weeks, really cool! I too built a Cheapino for myself and a friend who wanted to try out these ominous "ergo mech keyboards" 😁
Nice case! Basic but functional, pretty good for a first
Wow, really cool :D I'm wondering why you went with a straight line for the thumb keys instead of going for a curve (which so see with a lot of ergo keyboards). Is there any general benefit or is it just more comfortable for your hands?
That's a really interesting case design too! Cool to see that you're taking into account that one might bring it into the office or so and needs a "travel" case as well.
That's a really cool and funny solution :D
Galaxy Watch 4. I don't like Samsung but I wanted WearOS 3 so yeah...
Honestly, not a lot of people in rented apartments can hear music that loud to "feel" the bass. If I did my neighbors would literally kill me.
Cool! I'm happy it actually helped you :)
I also own the Cheapino and made myself a keymap which is fully working. You can have a look at it here. Hooe that helps at least some bit.
Regarding the qmk toolbox: You can take the json file from one of the keymaps in tompis qmk_firmware repository and upload it in qmk toolbox. Then you can have the correct layout and you can configure it to your liking.
Small version with 2 different filters ~40€, big version with 4 different filters ~80€. All come without any kind of carry case / pouch. A bit expensive and lacking for that price tbh
