making an ergonomic keyboard

keyboards are common tools nowadays. it's cheap & functional. but for mechanical keyboards, it isn't. the mechanical keyboard market is being filled with overpriced & over-marketed low quality products from gaming companies.

for novelty products, such as custom mechanical keyboards, prices are usually a lot higher.

i would like to make a keyboard that offers a blend of good quality and fair price along with the following features:

• ortholinear
• split layout
• support regular profile switches
• has function row
• 5 thumb keys on each side
• support bluetooth dongle (zmk)
• has arrow cluster
• support 3 points tenting
• lightweight
• no rgb
