ernierastaA) Hmm, tapping. I hadn't thought about that. It's tricky because it's "time-based" and microcontrollers do not have a good sense of time.
However, another way to implement this is to look for a "release" of the shift key rather than press. Then by default, if another key is pressed after shift it would cancel the Shift -> Esc sequence.
I can't promise this will be ready for the release, but I can add it to the list of software updates in the future.
B) It's extremely sturdy, more so than most of the keyboards I own (probably around 300+ at this point :P)
C) I haven't had a chance to do an in-depth look at the layout configurator yet (on vacation right now :P). Likely it will change a bunch before the release. For layout switching, there are 3 methods -> Shift, Lock and Latch (latch disables the layout after the next keypress). Each of the layers can be dynamically arranged based upon the order in which they were enabled. Pressing Lock, then Shift, will temporarily disable the layer.
Yeah, I can't do much about the shipping...

mooswaThe firmware is completely open-source, including the bootloader and KLL compiler. It's already available on github (would post a link, but currently on my phone waiting for my flight).
The configurator will produce a binary.

a) programmability: is there way to implement dual modifier functions? F. e.: if I tap SHIFT - ESC will be sent, but if i press SHIFT+c C will be sent to pc. I am asking with SpaceFN ( http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=51069.0 ) in mind. And does it mean some crazy amount of work to modify firmware, or it is implemented already? And related question is : Can be strange modifiers implemented(f.e.: "a" as char and modifier).
b) I am afraid of case, it looks like it is thick enough, but still - how it is comparing to standard 60% cases? Is it not more bendable/wobbly then lets say Poker 2?
c) and really silly one: can anyone elaborate on layouts switching? What +L4, -L3 or ~L1 means and how would one program layouts to work with them?
And last thing to massdrop: 36,85 shipping to Czech Republic? It can be show stopper for me ...
