If You Can't Buy the Keyboard You Want, Build It Instead

Always nice to see such a build. Don&#x27;t visit this site without an ad-blocker though! uBlock Origin hits the double digits…<p>As a southpaw I am oddly never really bothered by the keypad sitting on the right side of the keyboard. For games it means that the standard 104 key keyboard gives me the arrow keys for movement (right hand), surrounded by a bunch of keys on both sides and above that I can map to whatever is required. The big letter field sits between the mouse (left hand, obviously) and can be used by either hand. Ideal really.<p>(I never did get used to doing numerical input with the keypad.)
