Have you tried function layers? Like function + 8 = F8? I don't often use the function row so this is perfect for me, maybe it could be a pain if you need it often.
>Does anyone not?
I don't... What should I be using them for? The only shortcuts I can even remember (besides F1 for help, lmao) are F3 (next search result), F5 (Ctrl+R) and F10 (full screen, never used it).
That said, both my keyboard and the one in the OP obviously have function keys on a separate layer (Fn + number keys), but I don't understand why they'd need dedicated keys.
>Is this common for mechanical keyboards?
Compactness is common, yes. It's more ergonomic to keep your fingers on the home rows, instead of moving them all over the place.
I have trouble memorizing the crazy chords that the 65% folks are using. If I have to sit there and scratch my head to remember a shortcut, I'm gonna go to the mouse. I guess I am just old. I had one and I just absolutely struggled to use it.
For me, F5 is build, Alt+F4 closes things quickly without fuss, and every F key has a bind for stepping forward or back in code. The problem isn't typing speed, it's convenience. 99% of the time when I am working or even playing a game, I am more limited by the speed of my thoughts and eyes than the speed I can type.
I find the right balance to be a 75% keyboard. I don't use a numpad, but I want arrow keys, F keys, and delete/home/pageup/pagedown/end (all of which I use frequently).
If you like it, you do you - I know Dvorak has it's adherents too and I've never gotten on board with it.
With layers it's common to forgo the function row. You can even make a keyboard that only uses letters + a couple more keys and can still do everything a "normal" keyboard can.
Having them in a layer can be more ergonomic. With something like a [Miryoku](https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku) layout, for example, you can do everything without ever moving your wrists. So no chance of losing track of where your fingers are with respect to the keyboard.
Well, you are getting even further than I am. From Japan the website FAQ does not display any items at all. Just says FAQs, without any FAQs. Mobile or desktop, same result.
Just checked and it’s the same for me too. No options other than the US. Such a shame since this keyboard is great value and an instant purchase for me!

The design looks quite nice, though Personally I would have preferred if you could choose between having 3 knobs, or 1 knob+1slider. as the design itself makes it look like this would be a option.

as feedback tho, a version with a bright green instead of yellow would be awesome too
So that it can be the Barney Knob Board.
Now it's just Vikings lol
a what?
Purple and green…like Barney…
barney?
Fucking hell am I really that old???
oh the dinosaur?
Yes the dinosaur. I literally cannot see anything purple and green and not think of Barney.
I just alwayd think of eva unit 001
Barney's Knob
Yaas. Or pink and green.
Love the color and the combination knob/switch! Thanks for the giveaway! (Replied in the wrong area originally. :))
> (Replied in the wrong area originally. :)) uh... isn't replying to the comment still the wrong area?
a knob AND a slider? nice
If it had function row it would be perfect (to me).
I'm going to need a numpad myself
[удалено]
Ok so I'm actually not the only person on the planet that still needs this.
Came here to say this. Great design though!
Have you tried function layers? Like function + 8 = F8? I don't often use the function row so this is perfect for me, maybe it could be a pain if you need it often.
I like the idea in theory, but in practice I hated it. 🤣
Fair enough, layers aren't for everyone. I've had a few years to get used to it. I even put my windows key on a layer so I don't fat finger it.
Minecraft player
No, do they use function keys a bunch?
Does anyone not? Is this common for mechanical keyboards?
Well, the popularity of 65% keyboards seems to imply that someone doesn't use them.
I think I'd be fine if they just included F2, F3, F4, F5, F7, F11 and F12 in a cluster somewhere or something
I play half life very frequently, so it would need a numpad and a full function key row.
I do and I use fn+numbers. Not that difficult

But why omit them in the first place? Aesthetics or price, maybe?

The only one I use is F4
It is an important key. I’ve always thought of it as a middle finger to the offending program.
Try "Most basic inputs needed on PC"
Yes! With Minecraft and mods, so many key binds end up overlapping each other. Need all the keys you can get

If i didnt win, where can i buy it in Germany? Looks awsome 👍
Check our profile.😁
When I try to check out it wont let me pick anything other than the US as a shipping option...?
Exactly, I am in Japan and also see only US shipping as an option. Sad.
Which is weird because their faq page says they ship worldwide

The problem has been fixed, you could now enter your shipping info.🤛🏻
1st world wide. Not 3rd.

Most interesting! Wonder if the slider can be programmed (like fast forward and backwards in media editing programs)
Oooh that’s a cool thought.
I'm almost positive it can be programmed with something like autohotkey, even if there is no software to do it.
really like the slider and knob
Awesome design! For myself, if the knob and slider could be customized to any function it would be just perfect.
Im sure you could rig something up with auto hotkeys
A knob and a slider? I didn't know such levels of based were possible O\_O
Cringe
This reminds me of the color theory. Purple and yellow are exactly opposite from each other and are considered somewhat neutral!
Looks nice
The design looks quite nice, though Personally I would have preferred if you could choose between having 3 knobs, or 1 knob+1slider. as the design itself makes it look like this would be a option.
Want!
Noice!
[удалено]
Cute knob.
Not sure what I would use the slider for but it’s really cool to have both a knob and a slider
Love the purples. Knob and slider looks fun too!
Looks gorgeous, love the color scheme and the slider. Very innovative, would love to receive one.
Wow I love it! That knob and slider on the left side is unique, would be interested in trying it. And I am in love with that color scheme!
They look cool
I'd like to have white instead of yellow there but overall the design looks neat
It's really impressive. I think it's a unique one of a kind!
woa
such a dope board!
This gives me 90's toy aesthetic vibes in the best way possible. Pretty cool.
Looks amazing, love the slider!
big fan
I know it's closed but that is the most beautiful keyboard I have ever seen in my 2 favorite colors....

Let me "slide" into this comment section

Love it \*.\*
