QWERTY should be discontinued.
Staggered should be discontinued.
All keyboards should be ortholinear. Or hexagonal. Or something.

Meh, I'd pass hard on that opinion. Don't get me wrong you are right from an ergonomic & speed perspective, but TBH ortho layouts just look so bland to me. Also QWERTY is way to ingrained in me to even want to change. Although I do not use my keyboards at work & do not need the best ergonomics or most efficient layout, so I can see why these are more sought after for people who have to type all day for work.

Yeah it definitely seems better for typing, but I'm just used to qwerty and staggered as well.

One ortho board that looks sick is the lumberjack 60 project, It's very visually appealing especially with the through hole components separating the two halfs. Would be a fun project to do too, even if it wouldn't get too much use

I do agree the Lumberjack does look pretty cool, but I think that's more thanks to the exposed diodes/controller. Those boards always look really cool to me.

This looks quite nice! Likely in for this GB. The Horangi boards also look fantastic.

Narnia of course....

What will be the layout options for the PCB?

Unfortunately, I wouldn't bother asking this here as Streamline has already stated he is abandoning the Geekhack thread.

It's just another in a long line of red flags that he read through the whole thread and didn't really provide responses to any major concerns people had. Asking in the discord is probably your best shot. In fact the only way to even see the proof of weights that supposedly were similar to the Helheim design are to go through his Discord but that involves digging through conversations like the most recent that were shown to me in screenshots including members talking about if open borders is just letting in gangs and crimes into our cities and how gluttony is actually responsible for people's health issues and not a matter of their socio economic status. It's not a matter of thinking these conversations are inappropriate for a public facing discord of a designer / vendor, it's that I don't think the people in there are capable of being nuanced enough to discuss these issues and that's the dangerous part.

yes.
