This is the kind of maximalism I love. Definitely interested in this as a work keyboard.

Is there any custom layout support? I'm extremely interested in this project.

The keyboard PCB is based on QMK and supports key remapping via Vial.

Is there any step caps, 7u, or 2.25u enter?

Only supports the caps step layout. Considering that the G80-9009 has too many keys, splitting the spacebar would make it difficult to source matching keycaps—7u or 2.25u spacebar layouts are not supported. Additionally, we aim to retain the original authentic G80-9009 layout as much as possible.

Wish it had more options, even with respect to your design goal.

Okay, thank you for the suggestions. We will carefully consider them and make revisions accordingly.

I appreciate the projects commitment.

I do have one more request, I'm not sure how much it would add to the cost but the top row 2u keys having split 1u keys options would help a lot to fit easily fullsize keysets.

Finding R1 2u keys is quite a hunt.

The keycaps are not an issue—we provide a complete keycap solution, and our existing keycaps (sold separately) are fully compatible.

Wouldnt be tsangan bottom row more OG ? Original 9009 Haves 1.5u x 1u x 1u x 8u x 1u x 1u x 1.5u. finding 8u spacebar indeed is a difficult task, but 7u right now presented in 99% of keycap kits and it would be much more authentic and proportionally right to have, than having small 6.25u spacebar and more 1.25u keys. While i understand ISO only, why no 1.25u shift like in og keyboard? Would be also cool to see plateless mount or atleast half plate for authenticity, if its indeed a remake version.

Awesome looking keyboard.

Will there be settings to adjust the Dual side screens being controllable instead of being auto-off after 10 minutes of inactivity? Additionally is the software browser based by any chance?
