Purple is looking very promising in the feedback poll

Keen as always for a new Laneware keeb 👌 loving the left knob and macro cluster!

Filled out the detailed feedback form. I really think this would be a grand slam if you removed the right shift and give those arrows even more room to breathe. 100% would give up the right shift for a more bold design

I'm a right shift user, and I would never be able to hit it where it is. Might as well get rid of it.

Xury46 · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 05 December 2022, 05:51:44 »

I really like the right shift as-is. Personally I don't like boards with empty space in their layouts, so filling in that gap on the right side of the arrows is a huge win and makes the layout look symmetrical and beautiful.

I would love to see a split spacebar option. Not enough 65% boards do it and it makes layers so easy to access which really opens up the possibilities for keymaps.

We are looking at adding this to the solder PCB

Unfortunatly this isn't possible to offer on the HS PCB due to interaction between the HS sockets and the stabelizer cutouts.

Thanks to all that are dropping their feedback! Because of it, we have decided to drop the silver due to its similarity to the grey and bring back the LW-75 blue

Keep the feedback coming!

Update: First prototypes are currently in fabrication

I really like that weight design and the big knob

Laneware · « **Reply #14 on:** Sat, 07 January 2023, 22:25:30 »

Update: Prototype cases are due to arrive shortly after the CNY holiday. PCB prototype R2 are currently in manufacturing.

Prototype Update: Currently finishing anodizing, we expect to have these in hand in 2-3 weeks, ready to send out to content creators

I'd say that you don't. Probably use that key as a function key

niakulah · « **Reply #19 on:** Sun, 21 May 2023, 20:15:47 »

Only 1 bottom row mod on the right is a bit limiting to me, so a split spacebar option would be nice.

NumPadEnjoyer · « **Reply #20 on:** Tue, 09 January 2024, 11:30:06 »

giant fan of this layout with the left side macros and rotary encoder gonna keep my eye on this
