I’m really looking forward to receiving this board! I’m pretty hooked on using trackpoint, and have the earlier Shinobi from TEX, which I really like (with U4Ts and keycaps I carved in to fit around the trackpoint).
The Shura seems like a nice upgrade. I’m really looking forward to the split spacebar! I’ve started using space as a layer modifier if held, and I really dog using my right thumb for that.
Plus, as an ISO user, I’m glad it supports both ISO and ANSI. Then I can practice ANSI on my daily at some point.
I really enjoy the split spacebars. I use those for layers: hold for a navigation layer on one, for some UI and function keys on the other. With the remapping software Keyd. If the split spacebars are not a thing for you, then I’m inclined to think the Shinobi is nicer, given the palmrest and sound profile.
