It took over 2 years for my first groupbuy to be delivered (GMK Stealth), but my they look great in my office on my NeoKeys Palette Carbon G67 with Alpaca Silent Linears to appease my office mate. Flight Data Recorder included for scale!

Engineer... with no numpad? Sounds fishy lol... Looks good though!

I guess technically I am an engineering professor, but I do have a separate numpad in the office. I built this as a 65% to make it more portable so I can take it to my lectures.

I tried using a tkl for the longest time... I just kept coming back to wanting a full numpad/ thinking how much it was slowing me down not having one. I hope you are able to stick with the 65 and dont experience the same regret I did!

... Sorry if my previous post came across poorly

It didnt come across poorly at all, no worries. I was trying to make fun of myself, but intent doesnt always transmit in written text. I totally get the need for a numpad, as I have a stand alone numpad that I use, but I actually prefer it placed on the left so that I can have my mouse closer to my body and actually use my mouse (right hand) and numpad (left hand) simultanously. It took some time to train myself to be competent using a numpad left handed, but once I did, it was a game-changer. I am actually thinking my next project might be a southpaw full size keyboard to have this workflow in a single keyboard.

I use a split Helix with the number pad as a hold layer button on my left side. It took some getting used to, and to be fair I still make errors. But I do like the compact size, and ergonomics of the split format.

Although, I would certainly not be opposed to using a separate number pad. Mainly for the fun of building it though.

As a fellow AE, I love it! At first glance, the gray made me think of something like an F-35, nice build!

Silent alpaca linears are so nice. My only complaint is the stems are kinda small? And keycaps will randomly fall off while gaming πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Doesn't look over-engineered enough.

Put a Numpad layer under QWE/ASD/ZXC--problem solved!

I have it set up this way: R/F for minus/plus, V for Numpad ENTER, LALT for Zero, 1/2/3 for NumLk/divide/multiply.

This way you can just bring the keyboard and never be without a Numpad.

You should look up Keybored on YouTube. He’s an aerospace engineer that modifies keyboards for specific sound profiles without compromising typing performance
