Are you sure this is not a glorious gmmk or something

cqdemal:
None of ISO / split backspace / stepped caps support and a knob you can swap out is unique.

Having split space support but 6.25u only however is pretty different, but not in a good way.

glwic but I don't see this as something different at all. It even looks like a Monsgeek or Glorious board with something extra, and (no offense) those are not positive associations for something running as a GB.

Well its still not finalized yet and I'm still looking at things to improve to appeal to people but thankyou for stopping by and taking the time to comment

Turnip487:
i like the design. i generally prefer exploded layouts for 65s and 75s. exploded layouts may be more common amongst the big in-stock brands, but i don't buy from those brands so this design is interesting to me.

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.
