I've been working away at this little guy after reading jwz's rant on the UHK over at [1](Copy and paste that link, referrer shenanigans). The main takeaway being that for the name UHK, it sure didn't go down in Vim. So I've tried to make a comfortable keyboard that minimizes strain on the fingers that come from banging on a keyboard all day :)
The I2C bus routed to every switch is the fun part in my opinion. If you can find a device, with a bit of code you can bodge it into your keyboard!

I use vim and vim bindings everywhere and I already love the uhk so much it might be the last keyboard I ever buy. But I took more than 30 seconds to look at it closely and decide if it was for me. Came from the Kinesis split keyboard too. I thought it was too big. Had a ton of keys I didn’t use too (all the keys he misses)
Your keyboard looks pretty neat too. I’ll put it on my list of options to try if I do end up wanting something new. Although my top alternative for now is a dactyl manuform variant.
I'd say go for the manuform! Nothing beats a custom designed board around your own hands. :)
