Ive been thinking of buying a mercurion for a year now. Is it worth it?

Go for it! Be aware that you need to solder for this kit. If you're brand new to soldering (like I was), watch a few youtube videos on how to solder and practice on some old PCBs around the house (I salvaged something from a rundown radio in my basement). What I regret most is not paying for their USB-C soldering service (3 bucks) and not reading the build guide before purchasing. The build itself isn't necessarily hard, I'd rate it a 5/10 on difficulty. (considering you're new to soldering) TLDR, highly recommend. 👍

You can also join their Mechwild Discord server, the community there is really helpful and nice.
