It's actually not that difficult, the only part you might find a bit grinding is the coding part, but the code is quite simple and easy to understand and modify according to your liking...
Look up macropads based on 'raspberry pi pico' and 'circuit python' which will get you started, let me know if you need my code or anything else... Happy to help :)

Lol I guess the hard part is different for different people.
The coding isn't an issue for me it's more the hardware and how you punched the holes for the keys and wired it up.
I love the chaotic look but undoubtedly perfect for using it with your hand.

It's not punched holes, it's a basic 18cm x 12cm pcb. The only carving I had to do was for the mechanical switches mounts as the pcb layout was nowhere near the pin nad support structure of the switches. The bluish background on the top side is just a gradient with my logo printed on a sticker paper and pasted on top ;)
Also the keys and knobs structure and placement is based on my hand and where they rest naturally, quite ergonomical for me...

If you have access to a 3D printer you could design your own panel, which is both easier to work with, and solder

I soo wish I had it to print a cool case for this... Rn am working on making my custom pcb for this.
