this is literally the most divisive gh thread i've never seen
give me one
I'll take love and I'll take hate, just don't hit me with that cool indifference.

moar renders at the bottom! GMK Olive on Grey Green (which I actually think I dig more than Grey Blue), and GMK WoB on Dark Navy.
Also, if you check the IC text under layouts, I tried to make it more clear just how the GB ordering is meant to go, and I added more specific KLE links. The intent is for the final GB form to have you assemble a layout by choosing an option for the left side, right side, and top. Hopefully this makes it more clear to people that you're not limited to just one of the four original layout options I had renders of.
Based on the results of the IC, I've determined that the Prime configuration (so the default and cheapest) will be the one labeled "Layout 1". I am in the process of ordering a prototype of it now. I've also modified my PCB based on my experiences building up protos. Text from progress update:
"Support for 7u spacebar layouts has been removed, due to them compromising the PCB fixing pins on adjacent, more important alternate keys. For this same reason, the ISO shift, off-center 6U spacebar, and right side of the split backspace will have their switch footprints rotated 90°, which may stretch (or in the worst case, break) keycap stems. Obviously this is not ideal, but the alternative was removing support for these keys altogether. My own experience with using rotated switches is that it stretches keycaps a bit, but not to the point of them no longer sticking on the switch stem, and I've never had a cap break. Still, do it at your own risk."
