ISO Enter. Then it's good.

Get to the top/bottom of a page, get to the beginning/end of a line when entering data/coding, activates End Mode in Excel, probably more things I can't think of right now
Seems like I'm in the minority of using them though, because a lot of 75% keyboards seem to omit one or both, especially if they're DIY kits
Your layout would be great for me if it were that way and with tri-mode though. Would save me the hassle of having to have a separate num pad plugged in to put on the left side of my keyboard while my keyboard is wireless (currently using an Akko 75% that way)

Another layout to look at is the Aegis 1800 - though it would benefit from F13 for symmetry, the placement of arrows serves as a nice alternative to WASD

Thanks! Honestly I’m kind of surprised no one’s thought of adding a finger print reader before. Or if they have I haven’t seen it. At least not in the custom keyboard scene

Stock Aqua Kings are factory lubed, albeit lightly. I agree with the sound. The best switch I've ever heard and people here say switches don't affect sound much. These definitely do. I've used them on an FR4 plate keyboard with no case and even it made it sound deeper

My boss asked me “are you a lefty?” When I was using a calculator with my left hand to process manual paperwork (I know it’s a sin in 2022 but here we are). I said “no, I’m just efficient, I can type without looking and still use the pen in my right hand. If I could, I’d have the numpad of my keyboard on the left too”
This answers my prayers. A fingerprint reader compatible with Windows Hello would just be to die for.

Hi I'm new to the hobby, I love your keyboards but I have no idea where I could find something similar.
Would it be possible for you to provide the names of your keyboards? I recognize the Keychron ones though

Oh wow I’m bookmarking that site. That’s awesome! As for the keyboard I don’t know why the name you used didn’t register in my brain. I was looking at this board yesterday. I really like it a lot. I hope to get one

I've never used stock Aqua Kings before but the keyboard I just bought through KFA already had lubed Aqua Kings on it and wow...they sound like pillow-y marbles. Definitely the best sounding keyboard I've heard with my own ears.

yup, whats funny is that when you consider the parts around it, a build as a whole can end up rather expensive, but if its with a not-so-expensive case/keycap set, then its immediately dismissed, its expensive, but not the type of expensive they're going to value

The fact that one uses/manipulates a tool several hours a day with a liking of technology and the mechanical keyboard remains niche? What is wrong?

Yes exactly using pinky 0 on a right-handed numpad with your left keyboard is awful. The + and enter placement isn’t as bad for the thumb, but I still greatly prefer it on the left for use with the pinky or ring finger
Also this is an elaborate solution, but you could try something like it. I use the left half of a split ortholinear keyboard (Keebio FoldKB) for a lefty numpad with the 0 set to the spacebar 1.25u mod to the left of the spacebar. It works really well other than having 1u keys for + and enter (I use 2 for + and 1 for enter). A macropad also might fit you
Edit: edited “spacebar” to the mod next to it
