Superb presentation. Decent layout (direct and acknowledged lifting of Apple's present design). And no mention whatsoever of the switches, which you can guess for yourself.
We must make these, with real innards!

Obviously if we made it, you'd need full-size top row and arrow keys. I'd say Cherry ML, but then, I don't experience the binding people other people report.

ML would be the most faithful adaptation, but I'd be temped to whole hog and pop in MX switches and accept the consequences in depth. There's nothing like a good selection of different switches, let alone caps. High quality wooden MX fit caps have got to happen!

Talk to 7bit. I bet he'd be delighted to scrap the HyperMicro and start from scratch, because, you know, we got wood?!
