    What the heck? How? Where? What company?

    I need the left end of the keyboard to be where the shift and Ctrl buttons are. I hate gaming keyboards that have a left column of programmable keys… My hands always feel off even after years of use.

    lmao why the fuck would you mirror it

    Holy shit, I’d hate to sit at your pc and use that. You do you, though lol

    Can you tell us about your keycaps? They look nice and some are not standard legends from what I’ve seen. Custom job?

    That’s cool, but it’s got nothing on the Steel Series Merc, the single greatest keyboard ever made.

    as to why nobody makes a keyboard with a left hand keypad it’s because a company called Ideazone owns the patent on it. Steel Series licensed it for the merc but iirc Ideazone wanted around a quarter billion dollars for the renewal. Which sucks, they’re still so popular that they go for four to five hundred for decent ones and up to 900 for new in box. I can’t really play on anything else, and i use the side pad a ton at work when i’m editing music, so i buy one whenever i see one in decent condition for a good price. got 3 for now…one to use, one for traveling, and a backup in case one of them breaks down

    ive been HEAVILY contemplating a macro pad. i love my 60% but theres so many games that require function keys

    The numpad contains navigation keys that you can use while typing. If you use them normally with your mirrored layout, your arms would be cramped to the left.

    The Wyvern keyboard has the option for a mirrored southpaw numpad, but is 65% + num. Perfect for my uses. The group buy and 3rd party hotswap pcb group buys are long done but might be able to find it on r/mechmarket

    I can perfectly understand why a left hand mirrored numpad is something that is not on the market. Because my brain melts just thinking about having to adapt back and forth between it being mirrored at home and not mirrored literally everywhere else.

    I can do it blind on either side if it’s normal. Mirrored? Not a chance.

    Otherwise I love this setup. What components did you use and where did you start this project? This looks like something that grew over time?

    I also can’t understand why if we mostly use the mouse in our right hand the numpad isn’t on the left side.
