A legitimate criticism. F keys can be easily bound to a layer on the num row. If you absolutely must have a dedicated f row because pressing a function key is hard then just buy a tkl. You get to have a better looking keyboard, get your full nav cluster and barely sacrifice any space compared to a 75.

Always interested in low profile custom mechanical keyboards.

Not sure what you mean. 75% is the form factor of choice for big name brands that want to make a “custom keyboard” (gmmk pro, that keychron thing, drops new turd, mode sonnet, kbd75) as well as a number of recent highly successful actual custom boards like the 7v, tomo, hex 4b and other.
This is all despite 75% being a relatively silly form factor. It’s got goofy proportions, and when done in an exploded layout it’s barely any smaller than a tkl while not looking half as good. Personally I don’t understand why you would need an f row so at that point just get a 65 if you need dedicated arrows or get a 60 if you can handle split right shift and hhkb arrows. 75 literally serves no advantage over any other form factor.

I have. I've had mechanical keyboards for a long time but I didn't realize there was a following like there is nor did I realize all of the options - I just sought out the look, feel, and sound!
Still learning. Like I have this great keyboard - are all keycaps interchangable or would I need to worry about things fitting? It's a full size board - with all of the keys a lot of people don't use (I still use the ins, del, etc so I'm in the minority!).

The weight follows the "aspect ratio" of the keyboard. Having it taller or wider looks funky on our preliminary design.

:') We'll talk to our manufacturer and see what we can do, but complicated designs are hard to engrave cleanly.

The 'twist' or difference would be the two tone look from the top, or the unibody look from the side.

ill make sure to check each switch while im placing it. I ordered a new barebones off fb marketplace, and Im eyeing the nuphy 65 keyboard too. the wireless/multi connect features are REALLY tempting me, and i would have bought that instead of my alt drop if i knew about it before haha

what was the twist?

This looks perfect except for the cartoon knife on the weight. Please put a cooler knife on it.

Are you talking about the resurgence of TKL's?

Have you considered switching out the keycaps? There are tons of really affordable and beautiful designs nowadays and it could add another layer of personalization to an already loved keyboard!

You would be surprised how much you can achieve with 30 dollars. After fidgeting a lot with keyboards, try a mix of everything under the sun, from mixing switches, to all different types of materials inside a case im 100% sure that people buy expensive keebs for the same reason buy expensive diamonds. Is not because of the features, but just to say “i have this”. Unless you are going for a custom aluminum case with 1 of a kind design im pretty sure i can make ANY keyboard sounds amazing. Besides clicky switches cause their mechanism are not diy friendly, is just a matter of mods and research. After i made the worse board i ever hear (drop alt with halos) sound good, anything is possible.
