Wow, when I first opened the image it was squished to 50% width, each key looked like a piano key. That was a real wtf moment.

Beautiful looking keyboard

Looks nice! I daily drove something like this for a couple of years, then transitioned to a split ortholinear layout, so a bit different but pretty much the same thing.

Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.

Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I'd chime in. I'm not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.

I don't know how to answer you exactly. My hands don't hurt. Maybe it's because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.

Has a 3d printed feel from the photo. Did you make the whole thing, case, pcb, keycaps?

No, the keyboard is a kit you can get on Mass Drop. The keycaps were novelty caps from Pimp My Keyboard.
