The spacebar isn't in the center and looks very off. If you absolutely must have a 13u wide ortho keyboard at least put a 3u spacebar and 1.5u keys on both sides for layer keys, or just make it 14u (or even better, smaller. preonic with f keys and just put ESC down a row to make room :))
The keys below the off-center space are just...pointless.
I'd recommend doing something similar to the ID75 but just putting the F keys in the middle and making it fixed-split.
Pricing is to be ~180 USD without shipping. The increased price is due to having a unique plate design requiring custom tooling.
Any chance of making the pcb compatible with low profile switches? Specifically the front 4 switches as I feel they'd get in the way of your thumb.I just took a look at the spec sheet for the low profile switches and it looks like it's not possible to have a flat pcb using both normal and low profile switches, but there shouldn't be a problem of just using all low profiles. I've actually already tested a different prototype with the 4 front switches and after a bit, you really forget that they're even there
you need to splain youself! how do you hit the spacebar?
love the idea though, glad this is up
Can you make an acrylic case version, like they have in the Quadrant R2? Also, is there space for a rotary encoder?
I've made some adjustments to make the layout more symmetrical, what do you guys think?Thumbs up. Will it also support 2x2u?Show Image(https://imgur.com/lBNOF52.jpg)
The esc key was moved down and the right most column was removed to make it 12u wide with 75 switches.

Shouldn't be too hard to do, I'll look into it. Unfortunately with the way it's currently designed, a rotary encoder isn't really possible.
