Yves
(Pronunciation: Eve [iv])
Yves is a simple sandwich mounted numpad w/ “function” row (i.e. 24 keys) in the same form factor as the TGR-Tris. Pair this with your favorite TKL for a timeless combination.


Background Information:
I’ve been getting into designing my own things since around August of this past year and while I do have some more substantial designs like a TKL (RBB) and 78-key (Murakumo) designed (both of which having been thoroughly teased in /#kb-kustoms), they require more work and more resources before I would feel comfortable running a group buy. Between now and then however I’d like to present a numpad. These seem to be falling out of interest in favor of more dedicated macropad layouts so I’d like to bring it back.
In my opinion, running a group buy for this will not only bring back to the community something that I don’t think many people (including myself) have had the chance to get, but it will also give me the opportunity to more closely ascertain what my capacity as well as capability is when it comes to future projects (i.e. group buys). With all that having been said…
