I rock a custom QMK keymap that only needs 34 keys [0], so I was expecting not to be impressed by this board when I saw the prototype [1], but highlights on this repo look quite good actually. Here's the ones that stand out to me:
- detachable lift bar
- swappable switches
- integrated dock
- per-key RGB
- QMK
- open source design
I'm also a fan of two choices made with the layout. First, the split spacebars - it's better to give each thumb it's own job. Second, the minimization of modifier keys requiring stabilizers, because smooth consistent stabilizers are hard to get right.
