I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my "throw in a bag and take into the office" keyboard.

So I guess the question is why arrange the keys like that? What benefits do you get by splitting the letters down the middle like that?

Layout looks like Colemak DH

As far as having those columns between the keys, probably slightly more ergonomic/comfortable

Yes it's to keep my wrists a bit further apart but also to give my pinky fingers less work to do.

This. I ended up removing the middle and lower corner switches to get down to 34 keys.

Great looking board! Glad you're enjoying it!
