Made some design updates based on feedback I received from a couple fellow keyboard designers and I just received the first two prototypes this week. Super happy with how they turned out.

Why QAZ? Aren't your brain looks for those keys on the left side?

I always found the idea of small keyboards peculiar; I always wanted MORE keys. Could you explain the idea?

I first got into 40s because I wanted more free desk space and then I moved to a 35%. My friend always said my 35 didn’t have enough keys so I designed this layout as a joke but enough people liked it that I decided to actually make it.

In my default layout, QAZ are mapped to Esc, Tab, Shift and I use the keys on the right for macros.
