I always wanted a Polaris, but could never get over the aftermarket pricing. Hopefully V2 is solid when it comes out.

Inside me there are two wolves. One that wants a slick all black, all business board, and one that wants all pink, maxed RGB & key figurines 🙈

I think the colors work?

Build is:

Qk75 in mint color

Gmk Pulse Mitolet

Tealios v2 - lubed and filmed

Plateless hot swap - it's tight enough.

Only used plate foam - no PE, and case foam.

Used the stabilizer that came with it, because I don't have any 1.2mm TX stabilizer on hand.

No problem.

I try to save everybody as much as I can in this hobby.
The more you save, and the more research you do, the more likely you are to end up with a couple really nice boards, rather than a whole pile of mediocre boards.

That's exactly what I was saying though, the two are not mutually exclusive.
I would even go so far as to argue that 100/96/1800s are not the most efficient way of including a numpad.

Both of the layouts in the photo below are standard 60% cases, with full numpads included on them, as well as both dedicated and layered arrows, so I can use whichever arrows are most convenient, at any given moment.

The top one is my work board, and will allow me to type an entire address without ever moving any finger more than one key away from its home location.
I swap between alphas and numpad, on the fly, by holding down the left blank spacebar button with my left thumb.
I can also toggle the numpad in, with the white Fn button in the middle, if I want to do something like use the calculator for an extended period.

The bottom one is my home board, and has the numpad all the way to the right, layered over the modifiers there, because that's where it is most comfortable to me, while using it for gaming, with the mouse in my left hand.
