Really nice project. We definitely need more wireless split options that are shaped to fit the hands. I only wish it had hot-swap switches or a non low profile option.

I agree about hot-swap, but I'm not sure if hot-swap exists on the market for low-profile switches.

A non-low-profile keyboard would need to be designed differently, to avoid the keys colliding (due to the curving). It's probably not feasible as an option, that would be an entirely new design.

Ah, from Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/scj65b/g...):

> Unfortunately Hot-swap sockets are not really compatible with curved FR4 PCBs, without extensive hand soldering.

That makes sense.
