I got my first keeb to be an Alice. I honestly just wanted to try it out bc it seems cool. Altho i am planning to get a 75% for the sake of my finger positioning being used to that layout instead of the Alice layout.

I also find the fact that there's two space bars super useful, and the fact that it's a bit angled. But i still have to fully get used to this. I have a keychron V8 btw.

Your hands don't both rotate inwards though.

Look at the stagger on the left side.
As you move upward on the stagger, you have to turn your left hand outward, rather than inward.

If rotating both hands inward while typing is your goal, I'd highly recommend checking out split ortho boards.
Those actually do allow both hands to rotate inwards, without requiring the outward turn that staggered boards do.

Yea, I got you there is no wood touch any component. It’s just an open air case, so there isn’t really any over heating issues. The only thing enclosed is the PSU. You can kind of see the grate above it. The biggest issue is dust because their are no filters. Lol so in a couple weeks if I don’t can air it we will have some super terrible issues

Well because wood is known to not be too great at heat dispersion/dissipation, but certain metals usually are. I also didn't notice where air vents might be(but again that might just be I haven't seen them yet) But if you say it runs like a dream, I believe you. I love the look of this setup and have been wanting a wooden case for a looong time now. Just gotta find one that has good thermals.

My favorite is the Victrix Gambit! I have an elite 2 as well, but it can’t be over locked so it’s with my Xbox. To me it doesn’t have as many bells and whistles and buttons not paddles…. But while the elite feels better in the hand the gambit out performs it…. To me

So how I at least would make it work is the following: find a spring that fits perfectly around the stem of a switch and attach it there, then see if I need to replace the switch spring with 100g springs or something, the 3d print or cardboard cutout for all you 3d printer lacking ppl the shape of all the keys attach it to the spring and it might work. The problem would be figuring out the right spring tension
