If you end up running a R2 with different measurements for the mouse pad (perfect size would be artisan xl mouse pad) I would 100% be in.
I like the look and idea, in fact I have been looking at split ergo boards to use as a base for a handmade couch setup.
GL with the GB, I hope it goes well

I love this idea, and I’m considering getting one! However, I personally would like to see it made for a 65%, since I’d prefer dedicated arrow keys if I’m using this on the couch. A 75% would also work (couch gaming sometimes could take advantage of dedicated f-row), but I like the idea of keeping the size small for this purpose.

I also wonder what the decision for the mousepad size was. Is that a standard size? I can’t seem to find something that would fit nicely, it’s either too small or too big, which would look odd.
