So you did see the mana kit right?

Lol, yeah that would be funny. He probably hadn’t been initiated though, which most of us here have. When you said custom I thought you meant alice or something. But this does actually look really useful, with the explanation you gave. Otherwise it might just look like mismatched keycaps…

The Logitech is already wireless, so it's not a connectivity issue, it's about workflow.
If I am constantly swapping keyboards, every time we switch seats, it distracts from what really needs to be learned.

The only reason this is even an issue this week is because I am training someone to cover for me when I'm gone.
When I'm actually gone, I'll just leave the Logitech for them.

Not using anything fancy, just a keychron k6 and a k4. Both do the job for me.

Yessir. I have two 96%/1800 that I use for editing, a 75% that I use for gaming, and I plan on building a 65% to replace that 75%. Any suggestions on a 65%?

I have the GMK r2 set that just dropped so I have a fresh viewpoint 😂

Yikes

Probably. No point trying, at this point really. But op replied and said it was his custom board shortcuts that didn’t work

They are rubber cabinet bumpers I got off Amazon, used as properly located Mac homing dots.

Until they caved to PC convention, with the release of the original iMac, Apple had their indexing nibs on D and K, so I have kept adding my own, after they switched.
Indexing with the same fingers, everywhere, makes much more sense to me than indexing the alphas with my pointer fingers, and the numpad with my middle finger.

how much did it cost for this build?

That accept key is beautiful, it simply compliments with the entire build.

Oh ok..

I have an idea which is a bit excessive. You mod both your keyboard and the logitech with type c with a breakout board and hide that inside. One USB C cable and everyone's happy

Both depending on what I'm doing. Which is why I have a 65% for gaming and a 1800 for office tasks.

"Endgame worthy?"

You know it is :)

Using the POM plate and it feels very light and bouncy very easy to type on

I wouldn't even use that in prison. Chuck it.

Numpads are functional but are not completely necessary. As such, it’s not about love or hate - it’s about preference and what works for your setup.

I've never really been obsessed with this whole 'I must be at 150wpm' thing, but I do pride myself on being accurate, so this will be helpful for practicing trigrams. The motivation for me to learn was just being able to type without looking at the board... accurately.

This layout is much more natural than most smaller orthos.

There's very little to "learn", or "remember" on my layout, even for someone coming straight from a non-programmable 100% board.
With no modifiers in play, everything is right where you'd expect it, on a standard staggered 65% board, except that the ? key is moved over one key to the right, piggy-backed on top of the Right Shift key.

The only things you need to learn/remember are the two layer modifiers.
Black Fn is exactly like moving your right hand to the arrow keys, except it adds extra keys around the arrows.
That keeps you from having to "move your hand" yet again, to do things like delete the text you just selected.
The left blank 1.5 key next to that is exactly like moving your hand to the numpad on an 1800 or 100%, down to having the vertical 2u NumEnter.

That will be a bit thick for switches. It will be great for stab wires, but too thick for switches.

I prefer a separate numpad, but I'm not gonna lie, that does look kinda sexy.

Yep super fake. Not even the doubleshot fakes, but just dyesub. One could clearly tell by the X novelties among other discrepancies. Good eye 👍

Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no🤦

What are those on the D and K keys? I assume it's something you added as a tactile aid to locating your fingers, like home row bumps, but I'm curious what exactly you used.
