I like coils for aesthetic but yeah I do have to say a plain straight cable is the way to optimise deployment.

All for the weird keycaps. I love foreign/alien/fantasy caps. Especially monolegend.

Looks like a southpaw FRL 1800 to me. Not a "65% with numpad".

Awesome board btw.

shoot I bring my keyboard to work every day because I am just a lot more comfortable on it. Got some compliments and confused looks from my coworkers initially, especially since I have a few artisans on my board.

I like this idea. We will save this for future mtg keysets.

I do graphics, so I'm used to heavy key-chording.
Being able to switch from numbers to alphas to arrows and back, without moving your hand at all, is really nice.

I did a very intense study of exactly how I was using a keyboard in my work environment, then compacted that keyboard into a 60% footprint, designed for exactly how I work.

I'm working on the sister board to this, for home use.
That one's going to be a bit different because I don't game at work.
I'm putting that one into a 60% case as well, but will be using one without HHKB blockers.

It's all about minimizing hand movements.

The black keys act as alphas with no layer keys pressed.
They act as an arrow cluster on IJKL, with Backspace, Delete, Pg Up and Pg Dn around them, when the Capslock or black Fn key are held.
They act as a normal numpad, momentarily when the left 1.5u is held, or the numpad layer toggles in/out with the white Fn key, allowing me to bump it with my right thumb, then enter whatever I need to, like when I need to use the calculator.

Having all those different things centered on the "K" key lets me switch from alphas, to arrows, to numpad completely on the fly, depending on what I do with my left thumb and pinky.
After spending so much time not having to move my hands, using the Logitech today was horrible.
I realize it's a first world problem, but I was having to move my hand ALL THE WAY OVER to the dedicated numpad and arrows again today.

Damn, you got a great haul from that! Susuwatari is beautiful and the deskmat is clean!

The Space65's design is very niche but for me it hits the spot. Looks great and the sideways Q is fun.

Look hard. Other southpaws are out there in different forms/qualities. Gotta check mech market and you can find one of these every once and a while. I may have a new spare board in a few months

Imo number 1 reason is due to should alignment. Source: I am an accountant.

As for this board it’s a limited run board, that probably won’t have a rerun.

UGH..... just why is this damned board a UNICORN.

Like why are southpaws the Unicorn breed of keyboards!

"Niche" just doesn't cut it. As I know PLENTY of accountants that would kill, literally kill, for a southpaw like this

from nuphy.com but it's sold out now 😓

hahaha my bad on that one 😂

looks beautiful. Your Q is sideways though

Board: Space65 R2

Keycaps:

• GMK WoB - modifiers

• XMI Baybayin - alphas

Switch:

• Cherry MX Blacks Hyperglides

Artisans:

• Artkey Sirius BnW

• Skullkeycaps Megalodon WoB

• Buckeys Eerie & Maskara BnW

• KB Keycraft Hootie Dusk

My solution is own a TKL keyboard and a Number Pad that you can place wherever you want.

Or set up layers on your keyboard and put the number pad inside your key layout. Someone needs to create a keycap set for just such a thing.

This is dope. I want to try it. Where’d you get it from?

I see, thank you! I've ordered a Zoom65 from their website and it seemed pretty good, so might buy more stuff from them sometime. Can't wait to go in person!

Very nice, the deskmat looks great too!

Seems like the common trend is you either get a really nice box or a box full of marvel overstock.

Black!

Only $20? Even for a cheap tray mount kit, that price is remarkably low, especially considering that it's bluetooth and hotswap.

Really tough choice between Cyber and SootSprites for me personally.
