MS 4000 with mechanical keys is my dream keyboard too,

Is the market for such a niche product large enough for a kickstarter project ?

It looks like it. There is the Ergodox (https://ergodox-ez.com) and the Ultimate Hacking Keyboard (https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/), which were/are both crowdfunded and have an ergo layout. I've also seen in a forum where someone hacked their Ms4000 to have Cherry MX keys.

The Kinesis Advantage is a lot more ergonomic than the MS 4000, and has Cherry MX Brown switches.
