I love my Victrix BFG (PS5 tho), that diamond shaped d-pad is surprisingly comfortable and accurate.

What kind of customisation does the app provide? Unless recently updated it doesn’t support my controller yet.

Oh, you're on Mac, too. I use Windows, so it's a little different. I primarily use my right hand for combos since I use my mouse in my left hand, but it's challenging having most combos on the left side of the keyboard. I might just go the HHKB layout route and move Control to Caps Lock. I'm not sure if that would be more comfortable or not.

I understand the sentiment about using other computers though. People hate using mine haha

What's your thoughts on the last keyboard? (YUNZII IF98?)
I've been thinking of getting one, honestly not completely sure how it feels or sounds from the little to none videos on it.
And would you happen to have any other suggestions that are around that price point?

I hit Command+Opt a lot, in both Illustrator, and Photoshop.

Any keyboard that separates those two modifiers, will make it more difficult for me to hit those commands with my left hand only.
I generally hit those two keys with my left thumb, while rotating my entire hand to hit the actual character I need with my index finger.

On my custom ortho work board, I can hit Command+Opt+P with my left hand only.
I can't even come close to that on a WKL, or Alice.
I'm limiting my reach, right off the bat, by having to hit one of the modifiers with my pinky.

You can build a work-around for that, with either macros or mod-tap commands, but I like to keep things as similar as possible across all keyboards, to avoid muscle memory issues.
I have to use other people's computers a lot too, so I don't want mine to be that different from theirs.

It’s just a CIY65. With some cement bring up the weight and plastic sound and black automobile paint to make it look a little higher end the plate is painted copper.

Only normal mod is like a half burger. So the only the back row of screws and they are on o rings. So it can flex in the front of the board.
