- first keyboard should just be normal but ortholinear, then i can worry about more complex - oled status display; leds for more basic stuff - led glow different colour for function keys? i.e. when number row turns to function row it glows in a different colour - knobs for volume/brightness on left - ortholinear - layers for function keys/numbers (you never use both at the same time) - separate numpad and home/arrows/etc., can be connected - "retrofuturist"; has clear acrylic in specified places to show off internals, not completely clear - separatable? split? - retro style case (beige 90s?) - backlight, unified?
