Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed that build log. Especially the programming/software/electrical angle.

Interesting idea. I am not sure if I may use one as a daily driver due to...

One keyboard trying to be everything for everyone may be hard to sell. Also, the buyer should be willing to pay a premium for not needed features. Its price may be too high as well. Finally, customization is not something this board would shine at.

The logo reminds me of this. Yup, it's still called "ultimate".

Interesting, but...

He doesn't explain how he designed it there, just how it was constructed

I do like the split spacebar, Mod and Fn key positions, though. And the fact that it's programmable and can be used either connected as a standard board or split. Even the default layers are really good.

This is the guy you can look through his posts here and I believe on DT as well he has some more info, I think he had a previous thread here that was removed https://geekhack.org/index.php?action=profile;u=3366
