Checked out the video and I have a couple questions:
Which keys do you use as spacebar and backspace? I saw the typing test and you using the 3 key as a spacebar but I couldn't figure out what you used as a backspace key. Also, do the numbered keycaps actually type numbers, I assume not, but what do they actually represent on your layout?
I have seen grid (?) layouts before on 40% keyboards, but this seems to be another take on it. Do you think it's nicer to type on than a grid layout?
And finally, how thick is this keyboard? On the wiring picture in the video it seems that part doesn't take up too much space, but in the final build the controller doesn't stick out. I assume you put it under some of the keys, but does that make it really thick or is it fine?
​
Anyways, the board looks really nice! It's a really unique looking board and design. If I can get myself to try your handwiring methods I might try and build it myself, who knows.

Looks great! Fancy photos are always nice.
