Andy, you helped me out last week via DM, so my approach may not be news, but here's my 2 cents:

I'm in the process of building what's basically the 5x6 in your picture there.

I'm not interested in the OLED on the left, since I've found that I never look at one anyway.

I love the new encoder hole on the right! Although I would do one of those scroll wheel inserts instead of a rotary knob. That makes the trackball setup feel a little more conventional. (Dammit am I going to have to reprint my right side again?)

I'm using flexi pcbs that have their own hotswap sockets, so I'm not using the hotswap-in-case design. Just the default cherry holes. It actually makes changing cases easier since I can pull the pcbs off the bottom and the switches out of the top to move them.

I'm personally not at all interested in wireless. I don't want to have to track batteries and pairing. I tend to change keyboards out for gaming, and I have a dock for my laptop so it's easier to just have it plugged in.

With a dactyl, everyone's got their own preferences so I can't imagine how hard it must be to find something that suits a majority. But thanks for trying!
