Did you got some generic key caps that happen to fit UHK or someone makes keycaps specifically for UHK

They sell keycaps and other stuff in their web shop: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/product/uhk60keycaps

Right, I am waiting for order delivery of the keyboard itself, with key caps I selected and was just curious. They say they’ll deliver on Feb 15 but we’ll see. Quite excited about this keyboard.
Been using Kinesis Freestyle 2 recently, set up vertically and I am enjoying it a lot. I miss being able to program it, however, hence the order of UHK. We’ll see, haven’t heard a bad thing about UHK so far so I am quite excited about it.

I’m quite sure you’ll like it. My tweet has a link to our unofficial UHK Discord server, you can pop there if you have any questions or things you want to discuss.

Good luck with that! The only true mechanical, wired and backlit keyboard for Macs I have been able to find is the CODE keyboard – the Mac designs, see the “Maker designs” section. I am about to order this one.

I ended up going for an alternative design to a standard keyboard with the ErgoDox EZ Glow. I’m expecting it to take me a few weeks to get completely used to it but hopefully I will and hopefully I’ll find it more comfortable (one of the reasons I wanted to get a new keyboard and dug into this discussion was because I’m starting to feel uncomfortable when I am using a smaller keyboard). The idea of getting used to blank keys and having symbols, the enter key, etc. in new places is slightly daunting but I’ve now read so many good things about some of the alternative layout keyboards that I thought it had to be worth a go.
I like the customisations you can do on the keyboard you’ve picked and I’d definitely be going for two colours!

I did not know how to do the proper 10 finger system before I got the UHK. My left hand was stealing work from the right hand and my hands were moving around and getting stressed. It took me two painful weeks of full time use and some typing practice runs to get to a state where I was not making typos all the time with the UHK. Related tweet.
After a month I was mostly back to my earlier typing speed. But I had learned the proper 10 finger typing on the way, because a split keyboard almost forces it. Now I’m a much happier typist overall and don’t get the same kind of wrist aches as I used to.

Do you know the reason that backlit keyboards are so hard to find?
I’ve been managing without (Apple Magic) but have been thinking about treating myself for my birthday to a proper mechanical one. I was looking at the CODE for the reason that I would prefer a backlight having always had them on laptops, but as you say it’s one of the only ones around.
That said, I do like the idea of going for blank key caps and really push myself out my comfort zone.

This is what I’m hoping for. I can touch type as long as I’m not consciously trying to do it based on 25 or so years of writing code so learning to do it properly would be a great item to tick off my ‘must do one day’ list.
When I was doing Windows development (which I stopped doing around 11 year ago) I used a Microsoft ergonomic keyboard and loved it so I’m (optimistically!) hoping that there is still a bit of muscle memory left from those split keyboard days but having vertically aligned keys will probably mean that I’m starting again as a complete beginner.
Love the tweet! Although with the typos I usually make I’m not sure that I need a new keyboard to mistype things.

Note that Ergodox is an ortholinear keyboard so it may take a bit more getting used to. But I have no experience of those so I can’t say how big of a difference it is.
EDIT: Oh you did touch upon that in your post, ignore this.
