I would definitely be interested, what you're working on is very close to what I'm looking for. I actually ended up getting a HHKB JIS version and remapped space bar to be tab, and the buttons to the right and left if it to space and backspace.
It's really hard to go back to a regular space bar, and I love HHKB layout (as long as I can customize it).
On that note, if anyone is looking for a black HHKB with blank keycaps and HASU controller, PM me.
This is great, I'll keep an eye on your work! Any thought of adding another column like JIS boards (or having the ability to make it)? Then you might actually have my dream board!

I've tried so many interesting layouts so, at least personally, it did not take nearly any time getting used to. I actually prefer it, but I also have no qualms with a non-staggerrd layout.
Yeah compatibility could potentially be a pain in the ass, you'll notice I don't have the shift transplanted from the RF keyboard for that exact reason, so I'm with you on that one.
This the first time I've seen anything like this, but did you catch a glimpse of the layout options in KB60/KB64 keyboard that's on Massdrop now? I freaking love that, but probably out of the scope of this project. Attaching picture of PCB
