F keys on left side KMAC mini/RSII layout

[loki993]

I play games and when I really get into WOW I feel the need arise for more keys near my left hand. Obviously moving the F keys to the left side of the keyboard is one way to do this and I think would make hitting them a heck of a lot easier. Ive look for keyboards with this layout and there arent a lot at all. There are the old IBMs, that honest don't interest me. Too big and bulky and I prefer cherry switches. there is a KMAC Mini, expensive korean custom and you cant get them anymore. Then there is the Red Scarf II, less expensive than the KMAC, but still pretty expensive and its a kit...not a complete keyboard.

So is there anything else or anything coming? Even something like a GB custom?

The RSII drop happened and I should have just got into that but nearly 200 dollars for a keyboard I still had to assemble didn't appeal to me, also the wait time for massdrop . I know I'm being picky now.

So is there anything else out there or do I just bite the bullet and get the RSII...if I can find one.

I think in terms of accessibility, the RSII on MD is the best and easiest one to get right now. There is the Odysseus 209 (I think that's the name) and that hasn't come into fruition yet. I did see some KMAC Mini types of boards on TaoBao but I don't know if you'd like to go through with that.

There are some gaming keyboards like the corsair K95 and the logitech G710 Plus that have programable macro keys on the side, I find them ugly as sin but if you don't mind their looks it could be an option
