Hi all, I've got an odd one here. I posted about it on the subreddits r/mechanicalkeyboards and r/TOMT, but didn't get an accurate answer.
I rewatched Marvel's Loki show recently and a keyboard caught my eye! I like the idea of recreating the exact board in the show to have as a kind of dual-purpose fandom collectible (MCU and mechs). I was quickly able to find the exact keycap set (the YMDK clone of Drop's Carbon) by looking at posts on Reddit from around the show's release. But nowhere in any of those threads could I find anyone accurately identifying the keyboard itself. It's an odd layout: a 60% with a standard ANSI bottom row + a clustered FN row, but no arrow keys or other modifiers, in a black case.
I decided to shoot an email to the show's production designer, Kasra Farahani, as a hail Mary to see if he remembered it. To my surprise, he got back to me and asked for a screenshot to jog his memory. A while later he said he couldn't dig up the specific model, but he did send me a clearer picture of the keyboard! I was hoping, armed with that, some of you kind folks might be able to help me ID a keyboard with this layout.
I wonder if this is just a really rare board that someone on the production crew happened to own, or if they custom-built one for some reason. To custom-build a board from scratch just to add FN keys to a 60% seems a bit extra to me, though--especially considering that they were unconcerned enough to use a clone of a popular Drop keycap set. They didn't even use the Drop set itself.
