Made some design updates based on feedback I received from a couple fellow keyboard designers and I just received the first two prototypes this week. Super happy with how they turned out.

Looks funny and elegant, but typing appears to be a nightmare on this layout.
The joke of this board is that the "QAZ" layout is not uncommon in "40%" and smaller keyboard, but leaves the user with extra keycaps. Most folks who would try using this board would configure it so that "Esc," "Tab,", and left "Shift" do Q, A, and Z respectively. The whimsical keys on the right would be for macros, navigation, or whatever the individual prefers, though IIRC @[email protected] tried it with them mapped to the letters, like the mad lad he is. :-)
Haha you are correct, I have used it with QAZ on the right side.
