You guys always kill me because it's like you come up with a funny idea for a keyboard meme product and then someone spends actual effort mocking it up or making a CAD model and then someone decides to actually make it and you spend real money on it because nobody had the sense to just say "this is actually stupid" somewhere along the way

Beautiful apricot btw lol

They are not missing, not all the keys do the same thing written on them. The X novelty is q, but when pressed in combo with w it becomes esc. Same thing for meta + o, which becomes backspace.

Once you get used to the layout and combos it becomes second nature.

This might be a stupid question, but how do you use it when so many letters are missing? Like A, P, Q and Z? Do you have a job where you don’t need them? Or are they programmed differently?

Apricot by LAZYDESIGNERS, built with U4T and MA Industry. I'm coming from a BM43A as my daily driver. I'm still learning to navigate combos and tapdances to master the QAZ layout, but as of now it all seems to work perfectly, autoshift also helps a lot.
