Thanks, so far I've kept all the artisans I bought (not many yet thankfully) and def keeping these

Mac user here. Over a dozen mechanical keyboards. Keychron exists. I could go on.

Makes you wonder why it’s only Microsoft and Android fanboys dishing on Apple users and not the other way around. Sigh… must be another day ending in -y today.

A photograph of the Clickitty Clackitty Catpad protoype (XL Pink).

It's a deskmat & keyboard coaster design featuring your favourite cat! This is an interest check to gather data on preferred sizes/colours.

• With keyboard (Zoom65): https://imgur.com/a/5dbqifV

• Colourways from other angles: https://imgur.com/a/FjfnmC2

Manufacturer: Wuque Studios

These catpads comes in two sizes for now:

• XL > Deskmat size > 900mm width x 302mm height (excluding cat head) / 460mm height (including cat head)

• S > Keyboard coaster size for 65%/75% > 368mm width x 160mm height (excluding cat head)

> Depending on interest, a M size (for TKL) and a XS size (for 60%/65%) could potentially be made in most popular colourways. The more interest, the more viable it is! Please kindly fill out the Feedback form to let me know and if you're interested in other sizes and the colours: https://forms.gle/dUeCxVG1LbN8hJfq8

Note that in fact the XS size would in fact be a more snug fit for 65% keyboards, whereas the current S-size is meant to also cater to 75% keyboards which are larger with the F-row, and exploded Nav key column.

• Inspired by Bongocat (Bongomat was an alternative name for this project)

• The subtle pattern design in the main area are stillframes from the Bongocat going clickitty clackitty on a keyboard

• The second cat in the keyboard coaster sizes is not meant to be visible during actual use (because it'll be covered). But it is there so that whenever you lift your keyboard you get a cute surprise!

• There has been another round of revisions to the production file since the second round of prototypes (photographed here) to aid the manufacturer achieve a more consistent lockstitch effect for the deskmat design, and improve the transition from stitching to black lines.

Ohhh that is gorgeous! Trading or selling it? 🫣

Probably; my point was you can't say you like a design then change literally everything about it.

It's just like preferring a sedan version of a car model over the family version of the same model.

Correct!

That's a lot of piggies. Really like the purple one

> I really don’t understand why southpaw keyboards aren’t more popular

Most custom boards are 75/TKL or smaller to begin with so you’re talking about a percentage of a percentage of the possible market.

This gets me excited as a lefty

"I like your car, just take out the engine and steering wheel, remove the top, and strap a few horses to it"

reminds me of a bag of M&Ms

Wind Studio has southpaw in IC now, this is one of the proposed layouts!

XDA gang 🤜

Plus, for gaming the easier access to the numpad opens up more control options (I like to bind it to control creations in Garry's Mod, for example)

Looks great! I'd love something like this in ISO. I don't really have a use for a fingerprint reader, but it's a nice addition that seems helpful.

This looks so cute and feels like it would taste like marshmallows ^_^

I'd be interested in it.

This (Southpaw non-flipped numpad) + exploded arrow cluster is very close to my dream layout. If an "HHKB" central part is offered as a variant, it would be a sure buy.

THanks for linking this resource.

Check out spv1, bisoromi has an Ic on a south paw 75%

There’s a few designers I know with something similar in IC. One more couldn’t hurt.

Wind-X r2 is considering a southpaw option but that’s an f-row less keyboard.
