TonkatonkUnusual yes, but not necessarily poor. This way you still have all alphas with the tilde between "-" and "=" which is a very weird position, granted. But you can easily use fn-pgup/pgdn for home/end and some people prefer to have a big backspace in the upper right corner and a dedicated delete key more than dedicated home and end keys.
Personally I find a 1u vertical row more aesthetically pleasing so this is not for me but I don't think it's terrible.

sntXrrrIf you've never tried it, I'd suggest you try using the right side of your backspace. You have to completely move your hand off homerow to reach it.

TonkatonkYou can get around some of the wonky key layout with the programmability. But even with the standard Home, Page Up, Page Down, End layout. IMO, that's 4 keys that you could get into two with use of function layers. Typically, I'm doing either/or home or page up.
But overall, it seems like the programming software is a bit funky, but not impossible to work with. Once of those things where they were very close to hitting that affordable mark with an RGB/hot swap keyboard at a low price with an aluminum case.

confedYeah I was thinking that `/~ should have been swapped with backspace. And you're right, that's exactly how tada68 does it. Otherwise this is a cute board and I would have considered buying it. It is a decent price for the hotswap pcb and the interesting bezel. But I use =/+ & backspace too often to deal with this layout.

It might as well be a 1u backspace.
