I built this and one other (black and red) with a different thumb cluster in 2021. Not sure if Dactyl Manuform is still “hip” but this has been my daily driver for two years now and I don’t really want to type on anything else!

That’s really cool looking
Do you find yourself using the thumb clusters much? They look like they would be too far for my hands
My Enter key, as well as space bar (the green ones - one for each thumb), ctrl, alt, ins and del, meta, and function keys are all in the thumb cluster and nowhere else. I use them constantly.
Getting used to enter on the right thumb was the weirdest, but now that I have, it makes perfect sense. Mainly I made that change due to not having room in the right hand to keep hjkl;’ and also have enter on the pinky, and I’m really glad I did!
I still have shift on the lower left and right corners, which is different from many peoples’ layouts, but I have been a touch typist for years and cannot let go of shift keys in those locations.
There is no caps lock, that button is escape instead, and the upper left is just ` and ~.
