Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

tl;dr

Shine through

Normal alpha keys

Sculpted (? R0-R4)

non-alpha keys are blanks with a line through for light (or, translucent blanks)

I've got a moonlander with the default qwerty caps and would like to trick it out a bit. I'm having a hard time finding exactly what I want though. The closest I've come is something like this ymdk board

Which would be perfect, visually, if the pgup/pgdown/f1... keys were all blanks (with just a line or something for shinethrough, like on the moonlander defaults). Translucent keys would be okay as well although I prefer the solid + line for shinethrough.

Additionally, I think i'd like to try sculpted(? R0-R4) keys, which seems hard to find along with backlit. Thanks for your help and the suggestions!

I'm also leaning towards trying cherry caps but no clue if I'd really rather those over the OEMs that come with this board.
