Nice idea. My complaint is the keycaps, they are the style that goes under a laptop overlay, so they make the layout look like something is missing. Are they interchangeable with regular mechanical keycaps?
The keycaps are specifically designed for Kailh Choc V2 low-profile switches — they're low-profile keycaps with a different stem from standard MX mechanical keycaps, so they're not interchangeable with regular mechanical keycaps. The switches themselves are hot-swappable though, so if you ever want to try different actuation forces, you can swap them out without soldering. The keyboard uses a row-staggered layout to keep the learning curve at zero — you open the box and type like on any standard keyboard. Totally get the "something missing" look though, especially if you're used to seeing full-size or even 60% layouts with continuous rows. It does take a minute to adjust visually.
I meant the flange on the key caps makes it look like there's a top plate overlay missing. A key cap with straight vwrtical sides is what I was expecting for a custom keyboard. But if the keycaps are ever swappable with other low profile styles that match Kaith ChocV2 then that's totally a non issue.
I love split keyboards though; being wide shouldered means a conventional keyboard is cramped.
