I don’t understand why you would come to a forum for custom-keyboard-building enthusiasts and then tell them you don’t want to build custom keyboards.

The whole point of this hobby is that you build because you cannot find EXACTLY what you want on the pre-built market.

Using one-half of a Keeb.io BFO-9000 kit, you can achieve 6*7. It can't go lower than 7 columns, so unfortunately, it isn't exactly what you want. If symmetry is what you're after, then at least it can do 7*7.

Here are some:

This is the wiki portion of GeekHack, the premiere english-language resource for mechanical keyboards and related DIY projects on the web.

You can be a keyboard enthusiast without having the DIY skillset or wanting to develop them. Shutting OP down isn't really a compelling invite to the hobby :/

That said, there isn't much here for you if you are closed off, OP. My advice: what you're looking for doesn't exist, so you'll either have to settle for something _similar_ or make one yourself. You seem to have little interest in the latter, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Never a bad time to learn, though! We can always recommend good build guides / give you advice if you're interested.
