My attempt to quell the questions from coworkers didn't work  :))

Are you using dummy keys here (like SP has for sale)? Where did you find a 1.5u one?

This doesn't look shabby. I like! An option if the HHKB plate doesn't turn out to be an option.

These are just normal switch blockers from SP (http://keyshop.pimpmykeyboard.com/products/inventory/switch-lockouts). The camera angle must be playing tricks.

The plate is an infinity plate.
[Control] is just left side of [A]. It comes from Sun Type3 key layout.

Ok folks.  So you want a Hacker layout with less usability key holes.  If the group can decide how we want to handle the blank space, I will put it up on the GB form. 

Your options are:

a) Remove the corner key cutouts so when finished you see lots of plate.

b) Remove the corners so you can see the PCB underneath.

Actually, I'd prefer the Infinity Hacker layout (not HHKB), with all of the usability: http://www.massdrop.com/buy/infinity-keyboard-kit?referer=VF4SNE

Sorry for the misunderstanding ... and the whining.

Wow, wasn't expecting this. Is this still an option now that the GB has gone live? Option A, that is?

I'd likely be more interested in the powder coating if the plate is showing some skin...

Oh, and the desire for "less usability" is half aesthetic (i think it looks boss), and half because my HHKB is my daily driver and I'm never going to use those 3 keys.

I'm going to add the HHKB Option A style plate to the GB. 

And I hope you guys know I was being sarcastic about the usability thing.  I was just having a joke ohmygodyouhatemenow  :confused:
