My name is Albert, and I run Mystic Works, a one-man
operation designing custom keyboards. This project
originally started as a personal one due to (in my opinion)
the lack of variety in the southpaw market.
Inspired by
the AEGIS by aeboards, I decided that the idea of a
left-handed numpad would do wonders for me as at the time I
worked at a job that featured heavy spreadsheet usage and
thus extended use of my right-handed numpad. Cutting off the
function row to reduce size and shifting arrows to the right
is the layout that I have decided on now. Offset arrow keys
make the 65% layout look nicer and less compressed, in my
opinion.
Here are the planned features/specifications:
- Top mount
- Aluminum top/bottom piece, seamless sides
- Brass bottom weight
- Brass or polycarbonate plates
- USB C Daughterboard based on ai03s unified daughterboard
- 6 degree slope
-
QMK powered
Planned layouts:
These have been updated since initial the IC to add more numpad compatibility.
PCB is designed by Evy of https://anykeys.eu/. Shes designed many PCBs before including the Wonderland (Alice) PCB and the Plain60 PCB.
ISO is available!
Colors/Styles: - Aluminum Case: Sandblasted, then anodized black or e-white coated. Only two options.
- Brass Weight: Sandblasted. Interior engraving with my logo, exterior is clean.
- Brass Plate: Sandblasted. Full plate which supports either the top or bottom set of numpad layouts will be offered.
- Polycarbonate Plate: A traditional frosted polycarbonate. Full plate which supports either the top or bottom set of numpad layouts will be offered.
- PCBs: Matte black solder mask. ai03-based universal daughterboard (Revision 1). One universal SKU only.
- Goodies: Case/PCB foam! Probably custom packaging as well.

Current status/updates:
3/18: Design work is 90%
done, Im happy with how the board looks and Im pretty sure
not much about it is going to change between now and a GB
run, but if you have any suggestions to offer, again please
fill out the IC form, there is a spot for that.
If you have any burning questions, suggestions, or advice
for me, please join the discord server,
as I’m the most active there, versus GH, where I’m probably
going to post periodic updates only.
3/19: Added more
compatibility to numpad, will add 2u keys on the right
layout as well. All three numpad options in the IC form are
encompassed!
3/22: Numpad now has options for normal or
mirrored, all 2u keys on it can be split into 1u keys. Gap
between alphas and numpad has been increased to 0.5u.
3/25:
Design nearing proto 1 stage, looking for factories- PM me
if you know any good ones. **OPTIONS POLL UP :
https://forms.gle/NerTPP2Asez42f6E9**3/29: Most major design decisions are done.
IC above has been completely updated, including
colors/finish options.
I’ve requested quotes for a prototype and those should be
coming in very soon. Timeline wise, we’re still looking at
months until a GB.
3/31: Prototype 1 paid for.
7/11:
Prototype 1 arrived a long time ago, still awaiting PCB
8/28:
Updates on latest post
9/16: PCBs arrived; functional!
Build stream tomorrow.
9/20: First prototype built! VOD
on my Youtube channel.
10/22: Pictures of 2nd prototype
arrived, prototype shipping.
12/5: Awaiting final
preparations.
Special thanks go out to Evy for doing
the PCB, Kingk22 for doing the amazing renders and everyone
in my discord server for helping me out and offering
encouragement throughout the last couple of weeks.
To
everyone who’s responded to the IC, joined the server, or
even read the thread, thank you for all the support so far.
I appreciate every comment I get.
