I like the idea of a nav cluster in the middle (I've been playing around with that myself with a macro pad between the halves of my splits), but I agree with another commenter about BNM being wonky. I love "left" and "right" as layer names; I wish I had thought of that! It makes a lot more sense than "raise" and "lower" if you've got the MO switches on separate sides like most builds seem to.

That is fantastic, you nailed that aesthetic. The carry loop built into the case is a great idea and I'd like to get a look at the STL if you don't mind sharing. I've been using a viterbi for work and I've been eyeing a lily58 or iris for my next board. I've heard good things about the corne, but don't know if I can give up my number/symbol row.

I love this and want to see more! Is that a 3d printed case? Is the board a kit/PCB, or hand wired?
