The only difference between monsters and whales is knowledge.

I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but my boards rarely do what the legends of the keycaps say. I have layers and layers of all sorts of different functions on my 40%s all the way up to my TKLs that do exactly what I want/need. No one ever 'lives without' a key.

I would even argue my smaller keyboards, like my Corne, that appear to be 'missing' a ton of physical keys can end up with more keys that are easier to reach than much larger boards. Example being, there's no number row on the Corne but by simply holding down one of the Fn keys I end up with a full numpad that I can mash out numbers in without looking and with one hand; something I'm unable to do with just the standard row of numbers above the alphas. It makes those keys kind of pointless, especially if you have to move your hand to reach a key.

This was the vision I had also, but seemed more practical on a bag. Cyberpunky/High tech low life/utility kind of ready to go whenever aesthetic

You think so? I did write it, but my paint marker was getting chewed up by the surface of the case and I could barely get the NET part in haha

Thanks! :)

I made a Thingiverse for it.

Both of those are solid boards! It was easy for me to give up the number row, because I layered a numpad into the layout that's mostly 1:1 of a normal 10-key. I have a lot of 10-key muscle memory so I find it actually easier to use than a regular number row, but that's all very subjective!

It’s a Corne v3. You can buy them assembled through some vendors but for the most part you have to solder the diodes, leds, hotswap sockets, and microcontrollers yourself. And yes, it’s a 3D printed case I designed that fits over and between the standard acrylic plates that places like keyhive sell for it. I’d be more than happy to share the STL file for the case, for you or anyone who is interested!
