Hey guys, the project looks amazing and I love the layout. On an images, I see escape positioned to the right and tilde is on the usual position. This is a great idea! I don't know why I haven't though about re-mapping my esc on 65% I have, will certainly do it today
Having functional cluster with 10 buttons on the left is absolutely sweet too! When debugging with 60%-65% I didn't really like the experience of pressing one more button to access f8 or f6. Your design addresses this issue.
One question I wanted to ask is if you have ever considered to put the plate just a millilitre or mil and a half lower? I am looking at my Kira 99 (from Input Club). And one thing that improves the look of it is that the keys are sitting just a little bit lower in the case. What this does is it gives a nice profile of the keyboard with an rgb underglow. The light does not leak from the gap between the bottom of the cap and the top of the case.
I do not know, honestly, why this is not done on every mechanical keyboard. Even low-profile'ish keycaps like dsa look great on it.
This is an example of a light bleed I was referring to in a Bocc example which, of course, is a common thing and uncommon is to see this addressed:
And this is how it was addressed in Kira 99 (and it's not the angle, I can provide a few more pictures. Plus I remember Kira designers mentioned they gonna make keys sit lower in the case):
