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!

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 ~.
