Christian Lo aka sporewoh published keezyboost40, this 4x10 low profile ortholinear keyboard with an LCD screen in the center.

After his versatile banime40 and freaku4X (with display and encoder), Chris came up with a low-profile model.

The keezyboost40 uses a Raspberry Pi Pico as well as firmware written in Rust (though QMK should work too).

For design choices check out this page, and the GitHub repo with PCB and case files is here:

Again, the PCB was sponsored by PCBWay. (Redeem $5 by using the coupon code KBDNEWS.)
