In the cold light of day I can not see any misalignment.

Am pretty impressed with the key placement only thing I see so far is the HELP / UNDO / Cursor keys are 1mm over to the left and the Numpad is 2mm over to the left. So for the first attempt that was almost there. Vertically each row is spot on.

This won't detract I think from setting this board up as it's an alpha to see it all works.

looks pretty good to me @Icky.

Be nice to have a "proper" keyboard on one of my H5s at some point.
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

Need to get some keys in so we can hear it!

Audio or it didn't happen (as I'm pretty sure the kids say)!

There is some options on cherry keys (and others) and some doesn't have "click" or "bump" (tactile feedback). So @Icky will have to make a decision if he want to go with cherry black (as on the MegaST keyboard) or something different. I used Cherry MX Clear on one of mine MegaST keyboards.

I have gone Cherry Brown which have a moderate clicky-clack to them. In their speak - "focused and noticeable"

Can we have it cycling between all three (with user control over the rate of change...not to mention it changing intensity as it goes)...

Well I have a dev area on the board for RGB LED Drivers for the key cap LEDs so there is no reason this can not be used on the power LED. Am currently looking at these drivers. https://www.ti.com/product/LP5036/part- ... LP5036RJVR
