I'm looking for a GH60-compatible split space PCB and associated switch plate. I found it much easier to design and built a full custom from scratch than researching compatibility of off-shelf componenets and need help.
This is the case I'm trying to populate, and there's too much to choose from:

PCB and plate needs to be split-space, split-backspace, and per-key LED, and of course alignment of the screw mounts. I don't care about hotswap, underglow would be a bonus but not necessary.

Looking at your custom keyboard, you might be interested in Katana60 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=88719.0), although I'm not sure, if it supports backlight.
Anyway, BananaSplit should work, I'm not sure, if it's still available though.

Now that is interesting. This one here?:

EDIT: no LEDs though =(

The DZ60 is a 60% DIY keyboard with split space bar, static single-colour backlighting in the front and underglow. There is a mini-USB and a Type C version. The Type C version does not have a physical reset switch. PCB link (https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/collections/60/products/dz60-60-pcb). Plate link (https://kbdfans.myshopify.com/products/dz60-cnc-aluminum-plate).
There was supposed to be another PCB very much like the DZ60: DO60 (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=93685.0) but it looks like it has been cancelled.
Edit: KBDFans also has a 60% with Bluetooth support but it is limited to 3u space bars and does not support split left Shift for ISO layouts. Seems to have backlight support but it is not specifically stated.

I recently built a DZ60 with the split space layout, and am very happy with it:
