The Viendi might have extras sometime in the next 6 months. Not really what you meant by “being produced,” but it could be an interesting thing to look out for

Reply to Recommend some clicky switches you like! by Lighght1
Other than Kailh Box switches and other clickbar switches like the Chosfox White Owl ( I think is the name?), the only other MX-style clickies anyone will recommend will be the Zeal Clickiez. There are also some less widely available switches such as the Gazzew Phoenix Clicks which I bring up based on the Gazzew name, but I have no experience with them and haven’t seen a built version sold anywhere except through Kirball
Other than these, most widely available MX-style switches are click jacket switches (e.g. Cherry/Gateron Blues), which aren’t worth paying for (honestly, they aren’t even worth it free in my opinion)

Yes exactly using pinky 0 on a right-handed numpad with your left keyboard is awful. The + and enter placement isn’t as bad for the thumb, but I still greatly prefer it on the left for use with the pinky or ring finger
Also this is an elaborate solution, but you could try something like it. I use the left half of a split ortholinear keyboard (Keebio FoldKB) for a lefty numpad with the 0 set to the spacebar 1.25u mod to the left of the spacebar. It works really well other than having 1u keys for + and enter (I use 2 for + and 1 for enter). A macropad also might fit you
Edit: edited “spacebar” to the mod next to it

Sure, but even with a Mac, you could theoretically use QMK/VIA to use a spacebar hold as cmd and a press as a space, if you didn’t want to add another button

Sure! I would also recommend adding another mod to the left side that would come under C for usability (macs kind of do this, but they don’t place the mod as far over as another 1.25u key would - it’s super useful for a main mod like control because you don’t have to move your hand at all to access things like ctrl+C) and then splitting the spacebar

Highly recommend inverting the numpad so the enter, +, and 0 key are placed properly for the fingers that use them
I use a left-handed numpad layout often, and I found that inverting the numbers didn’t help me, but the 0, +, and enter keys are much better for the fingers that hit them when inverted. The top row too (and the order of numbers), but those can be reconfigured without any layout change from a regular numpad

After using a southpaw numpad for a while, I agree

All keyboards are southpaw numpad if you use them upside down, life pro tip just for you
