Filled out the detailed feedback form.  I really think this would be a grand slam if you removed the right shift and give those arrows even more room to breathe.  100% would give up the right shift for a more bold design :)

I'm a right shift user, and I would never be able to hit it where it is.  Might as well get rid of it.

I really like the right shift as-is. Personally I don't like boards with empty space in their layouts, so filling in that gap on the right side of the arrows is a huge win and makes the layout look symmetrical and beautiful.

I would love to see a split spacebar option. Not enough 65% boards do it and it makes layers so easy to access which really opens up the possibilities for keymaps.

We are looking at adding this to the solder PCB :) Unfortunatly this isn't possible to offer on the HS PCB due to interaction between the HS sockets and the stabelizer cutouts.

Thanks to all that are dropping their feedback! Because of it, we have decided to drop the silver due to its similarity to the grey and bring back the LW-75 blue :D Keep the feedback coming!

I'd say that you don't.  Probably use that key as a function key :)

Only 1 bottom row mod on the right is a bit limiting to me, so a split spacebar option would be nice.
