Hi!

Tuning in late ...

I was going to suggest looking at https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ (the
keyboard has a HHKB-style Split right shift and split backspace layout
that is a reasonable replica of the Unix layout sans special keys down
the left (on a Type5)). It's a left of field suggestion and the sticker
price is /high/, but it's solid enough to outlast a lifetime of typing.

It should be noted that the keyboard above was a "hobby project"
started by 'Ellipse'. Took ~5 years so it's not an easy thing (and the
manufacturing was done in China), but it's not impossible.
