Personally, I don't like it on a TKL

Maybe a 65 or 75 might look ok.

In that render, it looks as if there is a length of brown packing tape holding the halves of the keyboard together.
Needs more shine.

But my guess is that it will not look good as brass either.

Looks too much like the case is being held together by duct tape!

I'm sure it would look better if it was metallic... personally I think it'd look better smaller.

It begs for a partner on the other side.
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

honestly i think it is a bit too big or not big enough, i feel like the black border around it should either be bigger or not at all.
at least it is what i think, but then i kinda to not care for tkl, i like my numpad too much.

To be honest, I don't think it looks that great; perhaps it would work better if it were thinner? It looks to be more of an accent this way, similar to the D65 blocker  :thumb:
