Posted this on a couple of communities a while back, but I just subbed here and this board has actually worked really well.

Great work! I like Backspace and Delete being next to each other, makes total sense.
Do the 4 different space keys have a function?
They COULD, as the keyboard is completely programmable, but for now mine don't. I wanted to avoid stabilizers for this build, the little clips with wires that make wide keys work properly. They're fiddly and can be rattly if you you don't set them up just so and even add a bit of non-conductive grease of some sort.
I like the placement of Delete (numlock is hiding as "Fn+CapsLock"), but if I were doing it over I'd switch things around just a touch and have Backspace just a touch wider and delete as a normal-sized key. My finger seems drawn to delete. The layout has been really liveable though; no major complaints.
