I think that board is not programmable and the odd layout means you can't cover it with a standard set of keycaps. I think the Pok3r would be a much better choice. But I don't know what "HHKB-like" means to you so maybe the Pok3r isn't what you want.

Good points, yeah I guess I should go for the pok3r. Only thing that I don't like about the poker is that by default I can't access '~' and the ijkl for arrow keys throws me off.
And I don't want to map the keyboard manually using keystrokes, I want to use software for that.
That's what I dislike about the pok3r.

Go for a fully programmable board like GH60. Firmware level programmability is real programmability.
