Box Jades, which I like quite a bit, but they have already proven to me that they’re only about 90% as awesome as Box Navies. Haven’t tried Zeal Clickiez or any of the more exotic MX, and it’s been decades since I used a buckling spring, but man I love a good heavy clicky switch.
Well, yes, I do work from home. Why do you ask?
As for the shape, the goal on this was no stabilizers, meaning no key could be more than 1.75u wide, and even among those I didn’t want to have buy anything beyond a single full size board’s worth of blank XDA. It was a challenge getting a layout with any symmetry, but I got close, and if I were starting over the only change would probably be something around L-Shift and the backspace and the delete key where Numlock usually is.
Okay, I cheated a bit, as I think it had like 3 or 4 more 1u keys than a 104-key board, but who doesn’t have a few spare 1u lying around?
