Hi everyone, this is just a quick interest check on the
keyboard layout below. My idea is to create a more compact
fullsize keyboard without losing the 2u ‘0’ key on the
numpad. There are plenty (maybe not at the moment) of
CP/1800 keyboards but all of them compromise when it comes
to the numpad. This is my first “project” so let me know if
there’s something I’m missing or how I can improve. I’m not
actually looking to coordinate a GB but hopefully I can see
how many people might be interested so I can convince a
designer to use this layout.
What does this layout
accomplish?
- 2u ‘0’ on the numpad
- Reduced width when compared to a full size keyboard
-
No strange keycap sizes
FAQ (or possible questions)
-
What’s up with the bottom row?
I’d prefer a WKL bottom row but the 1.5/1.5/7/1.5/1.5 is probably the best to me. If this actually progresses, I would want to avoid a swiss cheese mess down there and stick to one layout. Feedback is obviously welcome. -
Why is delete/end/PgUp/PgDn/ScrollLock/etc where it is?
If this ever actually goes into production, the keys can be changed hopefully with QMK or VIA. This is mostly to show you where the keys go. -
Will it have stepped caps/split backspace/ISO?
Yes, yes, no -
Why don’t you just get a Duck Jetfire?
I would love to but I’m not looking to pay aftermarket prices for it. But seriously, the Jetfire is the same width but uses a full sized right shift which means the ‘0’ on the numpad is only 1u. I also have moved the F keys over so that there really are no keys missing when compared to a full size (depending on how the bottom row is configured). -
What about moving the numpad to the left?
For me, most of my muscle memory is on my right hand for the numpad. I also type CUSIPs (financial identifiers) at work which are a mix of letters and numbers. Those letters are predominately letters on the left side of the keyboard so I leave my left hand where it is most of the time. Also, Southpaw is already a thing. -
Who are you?
Nobody really, just someone who uses a numpad all the time for work as an accountant.
