one thing i'd love to see is the more common 2.25u-1.25u-2.75u split space support, which i've found to be the most suitable for most people's typing styles as it presents a space bar right below the C-V keys (for left handed space bar users), a space bar right below the B-N keys (for right-handed space bar users) and a mod key right between those space bars under the B.

I'm glad you liked the design! Thankyou for the feedback on your preferred space layout. I'm still making changes and this is something I can definitely change and provide as an option. Thanks!

where are the protos?
if it's so highly customizable, where's the solder pcb?

The prototypes are in works right now, and there is an option for solderable PCB we just haven't uploaded pcb designs as of yet there will be a solderable PCB, and a hotswappable PCB available, my apologies for the inconvenience ill update the post once we have everything finalized as the layout is still not final. As the comment above mentioned they prefer a different space bar layout so we are working on getting layouts finalized and once they are we will be posting the PCB options but yes there will be a solderable PCB option.

Thankyou! That was the inspiration before I sketched that design haha, we ended up improving quite a lot of things on this keyboard. I plan on posting updates once I have the protos.
