I had these cheap clone keycaps lying around, and I've been wanting to try a southpaw, as well as a no-stabs board that can accommodate sculpted keycap profiles, so here we are. Had to make a few compromises on layout to fit the keycaps I had on hand, but it's feeling pretty usable so far. Outemu dustproof green for MOAR CLICKY.

Am I blind or is there no spacebar/enter keys?

Not OP but probably just the key next to the "' key. The text on keycaps are just labels and do not dictate what the key does.

Right. For some of my other weird layout, homemade boards, I’ve done all the keycap legends myself, but for this one, I wanted it to be able to use sculpted key cap sets where each row has a different shape, and using “normal” caps necessitated a few compromises.
