Scratch-building a keyboard

I can see two very slight differences. One is that his columns of keys are not parallel to each other, they’re slightly more spread out at the top. The other is that the halves have some tilt to them, whereas the ErgoDox halves lie flat. Is that worth all of the labor? Maybe not. But if it’s more fun than taking up golf, more power to him.

I am 90% happy with a Kinesis Advantage, except for the chicklet function keys, and I’d really like to be able to hard-wire an Apple Magic Trackpad (so it works through my KVM) and have it sit in the middle of the keyboard. But I’m the kind of person who could burn their house down trying to install a bookshelf, so I probably shouldn’t break out the dremel on this.
