hello, just found out about this board. is this still happening? i would be very interesting in buying this once it comes out given the amount of time its taken to engineer

Yes, it’s still happening!

We showed a working sample of it at Computex last month. We developed new low-profile ALPS switches for it, which is why it took so long. Low profile switches with full travel were an extremely difficult technical challenge.

I’ll post an update when it’s ready to ship, but it is still happening.

Thanks for your question.

It mostly comes down to mouse space and hand travel.

From an ergonomic standpoint, a nav-less board keeps the widest part (the numpad) on the far right, which still forces your right hand to stretch way out to reach the mouse. TKL wins because it chops off that bulky section, letting you keep your mouse closer to your natural shoulder width.

Plus, a physical numpad is pretty much obsolete for most ergo users now. It’s way more efficient to just map a numpad layer directly under your home row. Holding a thumb key turns your alphas into a number pad instantly—meaning zero hand movement. A nav-less board just adds unnecessary physical width.
