Yeah, minimizing hand movement, and reducing use of the pinky fingers, and letting the thumbs use at least 2-3 keys each are all things that improve comfort.

Sure.

One of the neat things about mechanical keyboards (broadly) is that there are all sorts of avenues for creativity that people find interesting. Some people are enthusiastic about making their keyboard look good, or sound good. Some people like designing PCBs.

I saw the FAK firmware was quite constrained.. it's well suited to small keyboards, and it's got a low cost microcontroller. I'm sharing here about an example of a keyboard designed to use that, and some of the firmware using that. I figured some people here might find it useful or interesting.

For the keyboard in the image posted, there are different decisions which could be made which could perhaps improve comfort. Different decisions would come with different advantages and costs.
