I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my "throw in a bag and take into the office" keyboard.
Layout looks like Colemak DH
As far as having those columns between the keys, probably slightly more ergonomic/comfortable
Yes it's to keep my wrists a bit further apart but also to give my pinky fingers less work to do.
This. I ended up removing the middle and lower corner switches to get down to 34 keys.
Great looking board! Glad you're enjoying it!
