I'll see what I can do about some 3D rendering with Blender. It'll be my first time using it. If this picks up and there is a crap ton of interest, I will reach out to Cannon Keys or Graystudio about maybe putting this design into light. I've updated the layout after getting some feedback about the arrow cluster to save some space. At this point I am just the designer but I am willing to go into the some new territory to get this thing rollingI think you should make a poll along the lines on materials, layout, angles, etc.
It's an interesting idea but the layout looks a bit disorganized. I would prefer if the macros were removed and the OLED display and rotary encoder were together. Something like like would probably make for a cleaner look: https://imgur.com/0s4FUbyShow Image(https://imgur.com/0s4FUby)

The idea behind where the OLED and rotary encoder was were placed was so the user can utilizes the macro section while still having there hand on the mouse.
I really like this layout and the shifted arrow keys. I think that it might look better if on the bottom row you used 1.5u keys instead of 1.25u by the arrow keys, to make the gap a bit smaller than it is right now. And maybe fill out the entire right macro column to even it out.
I'll try updating the design with that to see how it looks. I'm going to have some time this weekend to get Blender figured out. I have yet to hear back from Cannon Keys, probably busy with one of their projects. I'll try and reach out to Drop but I have some serious doubts that they will pick up this project

I see what you're saying. That makes sense. Though I think it could use a more clean look still. Both the sides with the macros (left) and spaced nav keys (right) makes it look uneven. I tried another mock up layout here: https://imgur.com/2j7G5CK
I hope this isn't read as negative. I genuinely like the idea. My overall suggestion is to really make it more balanced to the eye.
