The filco SA sets look so good. Wish I could get my hands on a WOB ANSI set.

That is some really nice work.

Personally I like the Fern layout and the Shrub gives me full "me wantie/I needz" vibes.

I couldn't decide what keyboard to make next, so I designed three at the same time and called it my autumnal collection!

Tree is the design I've been working on the longest, combining my favorite aspects of row-stagger and ortholinear keyboards. The form is based on a 60% keyboard, but with uniform stagger (the Z row is shifted .25U to the left,) reduced width overall, lots of optional thumb keys, and a rotary encoder. The bottom-right corner is designed to feel like an arrow cluster with larger keys.

Fern, with its mirrored stagger, simulates the ergonomic wrist angles of my Rebound keyboard while making room for a much-requested number row and bigger spacebars if desired.

Shrub has the body of a 12U 40% keyboard with a five-key macro column on the left, two-key macro column on the top-right (or optional encoder,) and a nav cluster on the bottom-right.

There's more info about them all on my discord: https://discord.montsinger.net

I should have specified that all three boards can be built with 6.25U space bars or split space layout like the DZ60 using both shift keys and a 1.25U.

Here's the Tree layout options, for example: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/44dc98bf9b98e867452b4eb8920bec02
