I've been working on this since I posted the initial interest check to clean up the design and internals. I received the proto-prototype early last week and everything fit together, more or less, like I wanted. I've been playing with it for the past week to dial in the tolerances and test plate mounting points for the next revision.
Listening to everyone's feedback, two things were very obvious to me:
1) People disliked the size/tackiness of the logo in the upper right.
2) Given the option, people still wanted something in the corner, whether that was a logo/badge or another key.
Because of this, I revised the corner badge to something that I personally found to be more aesthetically pleasing. This freed up enough space in the upper right that I also decided to add an extra key to the right cluster, changing this from a 67 key to a 68 key layout.
In addition to this change, I've added split backspace and stepped caps lock support, added a centered USB port, included switch plate relief cutouts, and cleaned up a lot of the interior of the case.
I posted an updated interest check link to see how many people desired a hotswap option here:
