My latest board from Didjamatic...

Wait a second...
Didjamatic, that spacebar is backwards. You can tell because the LEDs don't match up properly depending on how it's oriented.
But, as I have a tendency of changing layouts around.
I really gotta get myself some free time so I can write a loadkeys/xmodmap/xkb wiki, but I digress.

Sorry for the crap pics (lighting, I swares).

Layout changes that are not so noticeable:
- Old Ctrl is now Alt
- 5k177 key to the right of Alt is AltGr
- 5k177 key to the left of the spacebar is the Super/Windows Key
- Caps is Ctrl
- Right Shift is actually ISO_Level5_Shift (all you need to know is that it's "magic shift")
ISO_Level5_Shift is probably the easiest method of getting HHKB like function keys on general keyboards in Linux. I'd use ISO_Level3_Shift, but that's already reserved for AltGr for Colemak.
Oh and the LED for CapsLock is actually green (and virtually the same colour as the 5k177 keys).
