I created and hand wired what I call a 65+5% keyboard layout, which is a layout similar to the White Fox but allows for an extra column of keys on the left hand side. The benefit of this is that I can have both Esc and the Tilde key, plus 4 macro keys. I also added a strip of WS2812B LEDS under each row that allows me to assign LEDs to specific keys to simulate RGB keyboards. I don't really use the lights that often but it was a fun little extra to add, and to also modify the QMK firmware to allow for it. Another thing I added is showing whether Caps Lock is active via the RGB lights, since I don't have an LED indicator for it.

I've had a few people say they would be interested in a PCB and plate for the same layout so I am looking at designing a PCB for it, probably basing it off the GH60, as there seem to be schematics available. At the very least I will relearn some old skills.
The hand wiring guide on this forum by Matt3o was very helpful in creating this, and I'm sure it has helped countless others as well.
