LOL, it works for me, but undoubtedly part of it that I’m not a proper touch typist at all.
A major design element here is that no key is more than 1.75 “units”, meaning nothing needs stabilizer hardware. It’s a cheat to improving sound and definitely one for easing construction on my very cheap laser cutter (really more of an engraver, but it can get through some things). The open spaces are also meant to evoke the “HHKB” and its retro inspirations like the original Macintosh keyboard, and honestly it hasn’t been a problem. I have four “spacebars” of 1.25 u each, but two of them do something else when held down (Fn for one, Alt for the other).
The 3D-printed case could stand a little refinement, and if it ever actually cracks I’ll replace it, but so far it’s hanging in there, and I really like the typing feel.
I prefer quieter keyboards too, but I also like the occasional loud clack I get from the stabilizers on enter and discs keys. Especially enter, it feels… definitive, like completing a task.

This one has Box Navy switches.
I said improving, not reducing! 🤣
