What's the next premium EMK to look out for?

Firstly, I went to the old Subreddit and the last post is over 2 weeks ago. This community must be one of the first to totally abandon Reddit.

Secondly, to the point, I would love a premium ergo board, like the cornish zen. I see that Boardsource has an aluminum Lulu but its got about 20 keys too many for me. I'm currently using a Corne with 36 keys.

What are others thinking about premium boards? Or asked another way, what keyboards are you dreaming about today?

I'm waiting for this guy to come back in stock. The KA360 and Glove80 are also mega premium, imo.
- I ordered the keyball39 during the last batch! But tbh I wouldn't say it's a premium emk.
  
  Darn! Could you share your thoughts on it?
What about something like the mini36 by controllerworks?
- Holy shit that's beautiful. Do you have one?
  
  I've got one from the first batch and it's great.
- Oh man, you made my wallet cry! I think this may be what I was looking for!
There are Cornish zen 3x5 extra going up sometime. You can join the discord for updates. Darryl is just waiting for components before putting the extras together
- I’ve got one of those on my list
A no expense spared board board for me would be a skeletyl from bastardkb, maybe when in a metal printed case. Right now i have a Lagrange which is very nice, but i don't use all the (70) keys on my Lagrange so a 36 would maybe for me better.
If i was in the market for a flat board, then maybe one with a trackpad like the dilemma, but I'm very happy with my zilpzalp as a portable "throw in bag" laptop keyboard.
For me, perhaps: https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=118201.0
