Yeah just some vias for return to ground; everything looks reasonably fine from a quick overview. You have space, and cross talk really isn't a concern, but more padding between signal traces could be helpful in some of the closer areas. Though all of that is minimal in concern.

I'll give things a look over. First thought, you ground poured, but didn't link any of it together with vias. That would be helpful in ensuring good ground return paths.

My prototypes in black worked perfectly fine. I haven't ordered for the hotswap just yet but if you're interested I can finalize the design tonight and order probably tomorrow!
Before the whole reddit explosion squished sales I was working on having hotswap EC-11 single key pcbs. I'm basically there. It's expensive with the method I've found that works but an option if you're interested.
Honestly, if you don't want hotswap you could also just solder them to one of the EC-11 single key pcbs I've made.
Casting them?
Actually after a couple of hours I think I found a sister component with the same behavior, so given enough time I can probably get replacement boards with hotswap assuming I can get my hands on another board to try and trace track
Glue to some extent on the advantage 2 because it doesn't have mounting tabs like the 360 and 360 pro line has.
The BastardKB pcbs look to have the same problems the kinesis does
Not using the original boards. I have a solution to that but the non-wireless one is using non-standard matrix wiring. Actually having a hard time locating the smd in the image which would be required for me to make a design with hotswap.
I'm short on time but I will be prototyping a conversion for the advantage 2 and then the 360 pro.
If I can get my hands on a advantage 360 pcb that I can use for trace mapping I will hopefully be able to work out a option for the wired version. That or gut the whole innards for a qmk option if I can't.
I'm in the works on a solution with hotswap but I'm not there just yet.
With a multimeter there are tons of things to check!
You can put it into OHM mode and test diode direction, the traces, and finally the switch itself!
How difficult is it to actuate the buckle style switches in those?!
I'm no electrical engineer. But I was informed that having the return to ground close to all data connections is a good thing from a EMI and signaling perspective. I often put ground vias near all my rows and column pads.
