I am about to achieve End Game status. Waiting for a Fossil full-size to arrive.

Here's how:

My friends told me that no one will ever make a quality full size board that it's simply too expensive and there would be no market for it.

I bought a NovelKeys NK87 and an external number pad (my home keeb).

Then I was alerted to the Canonkeys Rekt1800 and my friends said, "Wow this is as close as you'll ever get to a full size". This is my work keeb at the office.

Then I stumbled onto the Fossil Group buy and should have it by the end of the Summer.

Will likely give the Rekt180 to my Wife BUT really like the config I put on it with Laser R2 and matching a Shi-Shi and Watcher - I think I will move that to the Fossil.

End game for me is:

Fossil Full Size (Black)

Zeal Roselio switches (I like quiet)

Zeal Stabs

Laser R2 w/ the Shi-Shi & Watcher

​

BTW - not knocking my friends at all. They have been super helpful throughout my 2 years in this hobby!

The link you pasted is almost exactly what I have been looking for. Don't want ISO but this is VERY close.

Good point about the Home and End keys. I use Excel a LOT and wouldn't want to do without them,

Still would like the cursor keys sitting like they are in your link.

I have an Epomaker Southpaw. Only used it for an hour and realized it wasn't for me. It is sitting somewhere in Mech Market.....

I like this.

Might consider switching the Delete Key and Art 5. Art 5 could be like an F13 (like on Novelkeys TKL)

I have a TKL at home with a separate Num Pad on the left (I hate giving up the mouse to put numbers in). Am building a Rekt1800 ( I know, still right handed) for work but could be persuaded to route it to someone else for an ideal southpaw.

What are your plans beyond the layout?

Incline? Plate? PCB (Solder/Hotswap)? Weight? Colors? QMK/VIA?

FWIW, I really would like a true full size (i.e. cursor keys and PUp/PDown/Home/Insert/Delete on the left between the NumPad and primary keys). That would be my ideal board. I tried an Epomaker 96% Southpaw and didn't like the tight grouping of keys.

I wish you luck on your project and hope to see your updates on progress!
