Thats a good point. I have a pc and a mac so I should plan for being able to use it with the mac as well. Although I doubt the fingerprint reader will work with a mac

ah yes

this reminds me of my first build

Gat yellows? check

Overlubed? check

nearly fucking up the holee mod? check

way too much foam? check

bending a lot of the switch pins? check

cheap ass keycaps? check

ah the memories

verging on joyless

I haven’t used a southpaw before either so I think getting used to the numpad on the left will take some time but will be worth the effort in the long run.

Love the layout.

I'd seen 60% layouts previously with a numpad attached on the left but can't remember the name now. 75% layout + left handed numpad would be amazing.

Thanks for the feedback. The Art keys could be whatever you want them to be. I don’t use Fn but it could be put there if you want. Art = artisanal. I just have them as placeholders for the GMK moonlight novelty keycaps

They're MelGeek's "PLASTIC" keycaps

Actually it’s a warranty sticker, idk why they do this 🤷‍♂️

LOL

It like it! Very nice

Lol sorry

This is exactly why I have been trying to find a good southpaw board. I’m right handed and the numpad is nice sometimes but I would rather have the mouse space then the numpad. A southpaw would give me both.

Thanks!

How do you type with long nails? Whenever my nails get even slightly long my typing speed and accuracy go down so I keep them short specifically for typing. The down side is opening cans becomes harder

People who care about switch colors more than feel are the real noobs

I have Alpacas on the alphanumeric keys and some U4Ts on the space, shifts, enter and backspace

Sure! I would also recommend adding another mod to the left side that would come under C for usability (macs kind of do this, but they don’t place the mod as far over as another 1.25u key would - it’s super useful for a main mod like control because you don’t have to move your hand at all to access things like ctrl+C) and then splitting the spacebar

Yea my reasoning was that I can use left hand for number entry and right hand for navigation using mouse or arrow keys. I’ll have to give some thought to moving the arrows over since you’re not the first to bring it up

Would be worth a try, but shipping to my country almost triples the price of the keycaps so I won't be trying them anytime soon.

Yea… it makes me sad

Lol. Southpaw boards get me excited too

Noiceeeee!

Just curious, what keyboard switches are you using here? :)

Oh yea! Do you have a link? I’d love to check it out

Ctrl shift esc for South Africa🇿🇦

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize what you meant. Windows 11 with WSL2 is definitely a great option. I think it causes issues with my company's defense software, though. It always gets blocked by the company policies as an executable.
