Time+3D printer+laser engraver=keeb

I had these cheap clone keycaps lying around, and I’ve been wanting to try a southpaw, as well as a no-stabs board that can accommodate sculpted keycap profiles, so here we are. Had to make a few compromises on layout to fit the keycaps I had on hand, but it’s feeling pretty usable so far. Outemu dustproof green for MOAR CLICKY.

      This changes the angle at which they meet your thumb. Many find this configuration more comfortable when they use mods instead of a spacebar kit. I do this too.

    I’m a fellow lefty, but I think it would take me some time to get used to that numpad.

      I’m not actually left-handed, but a lot of people like the southpaw style to keep the num pad around and integrated, but allow the mouse to stay close to the right side of the keyboard. I’m not sure what I think of the concept so far, but it came out pretty well, given the constraints I gave myself.

      For a junk board made of cheap components and materials, it turned out really well!
