My fingers are actually itching to type on this. Looks lovely.

Looks great. Wish they had a version with a windows key and ISO layout.

What wrist rest is that? I have a keychron Q10 - 75% ergo layout and am disappointed by their wrist rest.

The wrist rest came with the Sand Glass ergo as part of the package.

What's wrong with the Keychron Q10 rest? Wood seems like a good choice of materials. Is it the finish?

The build is alright, but due to the slight ... tenting? of the Q10, on the bottom edge the left and right corners are slightly higher than the middle. The wrist rest is flat, so it's uneven. Took a quick pic here to demonstrate. Functionally, it's fine but who are we kidding when we say function is not the only thing that matters in this hobby.

Ah, I see it. That's unfortunate.

You might be able to get a rest made that fits better. Check out Digital Carpentry, perhaps. https://digital-carpentry.com/ He's made some good custom rests for me to fit specific boards.

Tbf, I can't complain too much as it was only ~$26 not including shipping which is why I went ahead and tried it out after seeing prices of some of the custom options. But yes I do think I'll have to get something custom made once I find one that I really like. Thanks for the referral.

I am wondering if you have a cherry profile space bar and if I can get a picture of it on there? :) Someone is selling a sandglass on mechmarket if they still have it and I don't like gaps around my space bars like I have on my keychron q10 so wondering if it still has that gap with cherry. Also does it have any flex or bounce at all when fullt assembled?

What gap?

The space bar over by the fn key. It's not level with the case bothers me by op said it doesn't look like that from the top

Can't get a picture with a different space bar on right now. Maybe later. Honestly, from above, the gap between this KAT space bar and the case edge looks to be just the same as the spacing between the top edge of the space bar and the bottom edge of the row of keys above it. I wouldn't want less room, since stabilized keys to have a bit of skew or twist to them. You'd end up contacting the case edge. Also, the bottom of the space bars dips below the height of the case, so the caps aren't floating at all. Hope that helps explain things.

This board has gasket-mounted, skeleton-style aluminum plates on either side that offer quite a bit of flex if you push down on keys, especially near the center of the alpha areas. The feel is not bouncy, just a bit muted. Really nice, IMO.

I want an ergo/Alice TKL so badly. Yours looks so classy. So very classy.

Thanks! This layout is super rare, and I like it. Hoping to see more boards like this one in the future.
