I call this one Daisy ;) This set went to a user in Alabama. Units also shipped to Poland and Eureka CA. So hype for more feedback from early users! Current build queue is a couple weeks long, feel free to jump in if you want one!
Svalboard is my Datahand style small-volume production keyboard – I build every one by hand here in Pacifica, CA.

Most of the weird-looking keyboards have the same QWERTY layout. If you can touch type, they don’t take long to get used to. I personally don’t get the people that change their keyboards to DVORAK or COLEMAK (Not sure why I shout those names, just the way I tend to write them). More power to them, but I think if I changed the layouts like that it would take me months to get back up to speed.
@sin_free_for_00_days YMMV, but it only took me a month to get back to my previous speed when switching to Dvorak. Years later, I can still type QWERTY. A bit slower, but not unreasonable.
The difference in comfort is so stark I could never go back.
