This seems like a low-profile version of the ultimate hacking keyboard.

I'd be interested to see a comparison between the UHK, Moonlander, and Dygma Rise. They all seem to be converging on the same design principles.

I agree, though; having a good split keyboard has been a requirement for me since I first got the original MSFT natural keyboard.

I had UHK and build Ergodox EZ since I wanted to try thumb clusters and vertically staggered layout. Honestly after UHK the Ergodox was too big. I am not able to reach most keys without pulling my hand. Even from 6 thumb cluster keys I was using only 2. Though I liked thumb clusters and vertically staggered layout hence switched to custom built Kyria split keyboard instead.

Didn't look low profile to me

Ah, maybe not. I think the angle combined with the ramp made it look slimmer than the UHK to me.
