>> the space bar doesn't need to be so big

When I realized this it was eye opening. I used to have an MIT layout Planck (2u) spacebar, I tried a full grid and it feels perfect for spacebar to just be another 1u key.

What does 1u mean here?

Is your space bar the same size as a regular key ?

Yep! Sits nicely under my thumbs.
