Hey there
I was wondering about the interest in this. Kind of surprises me that this has not been done yet.
Let me explain why we all need this… In the old age, when humanity knew that keyboards were very important, and an effort should be put in to make them as awesome as they could, whatever the cost, there was a distinct profile for each row:

This, of course, is better for typing since the caps then compensate for the distance between them and your fingers by reaching out you. However, as time went on, more and more commoners have learned how to operate a computer, and commoners do not have the cognitive capacity to know if the top and bottom two rows are the same profile or not. So, sadly, we have come to a time that it makes business sense to omit this vital function in the production of keyboards.
BUT, we know better. Those that have tasted the sweet nectar of R5 have never looked back, so it will also be with R0. Also, the unique profiles for each row make keyboards more beautiful, especially 40%-96% boards, since they make the landscape of the keyboard more varied, compensating for the lack of bezels inbetween keys.
The mould exist, as is known by Ivan’s Miami Night’s GB (RIP),
We would be talking about F1-F12,prtscr,scrllock,pause and for 96% users insert,home,pgup
R5 would be 1,5u alt,altgr,2x ctrl, 2x 1u modern windows key
