Similar to the Kangaroo, but cheaper?

(1/1)

Rabbit_Games:
I'm trying to find a southpaw keyboard like the Kangaroo (but not $500). I was going to settle with the Keychron Q12 (blue version), but damned if I can find one. Amazon is totally sold out and my local (Dallas) Microcenter only carries it in black.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

Rhienfo:
There are a couple of boards similar, but they are all seem to be out of your budget, I think the q12 is the best option here.

it's instock on the keychron website as well.

Rabbit_Games:
I forgot the Max part. Q12 Max is the wireless version. I thought they were out of the blue version, but apparently only the wired keyboard comes in blue. I might be stuck getting that. I didn't realize the southpaw layout was so sparse.

yeah it's just a pretty niche layout that not too many people want.

Another idea could be to get a tkl and a numpad and just put it on the left, would give you some more options as well.
