Designing an atreus/iris-inspired keyboard - The Pteron

Just received a set of plates from Sculpteo, and this turned out way better than I could imagine!

Looks to me like the sweetspot for most uses cases. I think one could make it smaller (closer to 40%) and it would be still enough for a lot of use cases.
