Well, I certainly can't speak for others, but, I find the most
irritating thing about many of my synths is that they have keyboards
attached. :)

Seriously though, I can't imagine what the value of building a CV
keyboard is? Perhaps someone can enlighten me. I think a midi keyboard
plus midi2cv converter is the most common method of connecting a
keyboard to a diy synth.

Many modern monosynths don't even use a CV keyboard. Rather, they use
a micro and a scanned board along with a DAC to generate the CV for
the synth.
