What's your opinion on this PCB?I was in the process of 3d printing a case but haven't decided on the pcb yet, have you experimented with more of them? I was thinking 65% or 75%

This is also solder-only, isn't it?

my only thought with the fingerprint location is that anyone with longer fingernails might have a hard time fitting in that area. It's still the only spot that seems to fit with the more compact layout, and I guess most people using keyboards regularly probably don't have long nails like I tend to have.

I’ve been using southpaws for years now. The thing that I’ve surprisingly found is I prefer ones where the arrow keys are on the left side. My left hand does all the work with the num pad and arrow keys while my right can stay on the mouse unless I’m typing text. Not sure if that’s just a me preference though due to using it for Microstation keys ins back in the day rather than fully for excel which is think is the more traditional use case
