I have a key layout in mind, and I just want a ready product, not to fiddle with hardware and firmware myself.
The order lot is very tiny of maybe 4-5 pcs.
The layout is quite simple QWERTY, based on Omnikey Ultra T.
Perhaps 500-800 US$ for 5 finished keyboards.
Similar to this Omnikey Ultra T, in a similar build quality, but with few keys rearranged. I wish the F11 and F12 on the life side to be below F9 and F10 keys.

I like the heavy metal bottom plate, but can be (cheaper) molded plastic.
My current Ultra T is at end of life, I am resoldering the gradually failing white ALPS.
