I simply dont understand why keyboards have a limited depth.. I would rather have the numpad on top of the default layout so I can still enjoy WASD being close to my mouse due to ergonomic reason and still have a full keyboard

Guessing that's probably an US thing

Never really knew this layout existed and it’s kinda exactly what I’m looking for. Why you do this to me 🤣

Lol yea that’s it

I love this so much. I will 100% buy one if it launches.

It will pair perfectly with Epomaker's Cat Keyboard

You guys should team up

I'm not sure where you are, but by me there's a store that buys Amazon returns and sells them at crazy discounts. If you live in a somewhat larger city (mine has about 100k people) there might be one by you.

I got an 89 key Havit for $7 last week.

Good job bud, keycaps looking very good.

I'd love to find mechanical keyboards by those prices 😁

XDA sets are very cheap, you can get some on AliExpress for $15

Ace. I'd use this.

Very excited for the new NK PBT sets and Copper specifically. Waiting on GB for a green board that comes with a copper back plate. Might take a shot at doing a patina as well

I don't care if I don't have the high end boards like you guys. I spent $20 on 2 mechanical boards and I'm happy

Sticking strictly to mechanical keyboards, I have 2 1800s, my 60% ortho, a 3x10 ortho I won at a meetup a few months back, and a hand-built macropad I designed.
I also have a 60% case I just received that will house my next custom build.

I use the two 1800s at home, on two different computers.
I use the 60% ortho at work, and have the macropad sitting on my desk there, mostly as a decoration.
Once I finish my next build, I will be rotating that one into primary use at home, and sell one of my 1800s.

I used the 3x10 ortho for a bit, just to play around with, and get some ideas from.
That board is what threw me down the "design my own layouts" rabbit hole.
It triggered a bunch of "what ifs" in my head, which ultimately led me to my current custom layouts.

It's a little Goomba XD

P sure that row on SA is orientation agnostic if I remember right, so it makes no difference if it's upside down too

Wow, it’s kind of f*cked up they had a Enter Key with the Unseen Hands if you think about it 💀

I have a pretty small desk, I want as much mouse room as possible, and want a num pad. I'm using an 89 key board now, and southpaw might be the next logical step

All right fair. Thanks for the answer. The XDA and MT3 look pretty interesting. Hopefully I can try both at some point.

Before I got into custom kb, I was using Asus ROG Claymore keyboard. Reason I got it was cause I can switch then numpad to my left side.

Looks so weird... But looks so nice!!

The PCB seems ok but I did have an issue at first where half a row of keys wouldn’t work (possibly because I scratched some traces). I couldn’t fix it, but I bought two of the PCBs just in case and I ended up desoldering it and redoing it with the replacement

Why the hell would you use a layout where you'd have to press num enter with your thumb and num 0 with your pinky...

Help requests, buying advice, and simple questions will be removed. Use the Sticky that is Pinned at the top of the r/MechanicalKeyboards homepage (sort by Hot)!

Shift as enter key would send me nuts! but nice keyboard :)

every time i see a southpaw my brain just doesnt wanna comprehend it

nice novelties, especially love the PANIC button
