Title: Hi from Argentina!
Post by: daluch on Tue, 01 October 2019, 12:22:11

Hi everyone, from the far south of the continent!

Even though I've been using a mech keyboard for a while, I didn't know you could actually build yours until a couple of days ago, and here I am on my quest to do so. In other words, I'm a complete noob.

The thing is, what I have in mind doesn't look like it actually exists out there. I would like to build a 65% keyboard with numpad and arrow keys, a combination that doesn't seem usual at all. As I don't see any keyboard that fits what's in my mind to copy the design, I'm not sure which parts to buy or how to approach the project.

I'll keep researching, but any reference and help will be much appreciated!

Not sure if I've seen one with numpad on the right though.

Hey!

Thanks for the welcome and the reply :)
That one does look like the one I'm looking for, although the numpad on the left doesn't look too comfortable to me.

I'll look around and ask kiwi99. Thanks a lot!
