I started designing the Qazimodo in February and just got the first aluminum case from the manufacturer a couple days ago. Very happy with how it turned out.
So is this a keyboard meant for people who don't believe in numbers?

I get that a small keyboard is nice, and that a numpad is not necessary for everyone, but no numbers at all seems quite drastic, and also no Ctrl or alt just looks very unpractical to work on.
The keys don’t have to be explicitly visible to exist
How do you do the numbers then? And also copy/paste (CRTL+C CRTL-V)
- don’t know OP’s keymapping, but on the default QAZ layout:
- D and K are mod-tap Ctrl (ie. tap for D or K, hold for Ctrl)
- right space is layer-tap 1 (ie. tap for space, hold for Layer 1)
- Layer 1 is the numbers and symbols layer (ex. hold right-space, tap Esc for 1, hold right-space, tap G for %)
- EDIT: and that just covers the hold-taps, if OP adds in full tap-dance or combos or one-shot-mods or custom QMK code, then things can get really funky
It takes some getting used to but I’ve been using a 35% for work for almost a year now and I don’t think I can go back.
I literally dont understand keyboard hobbyists, like at this point youre just being different for the sake of being different.
When you hit Q, A, and Z at the same time it spits this out
You guys always kill me because it's like you come up with a funny idea for a keyboard meme product and then someone spends actual effort mocking it up or making a CAD model and then someone decides to actually make it and you spend real money on it because nobody had the sense to just say "this is actually stupid" somewhere along the way.

How does having those 3 keys on the right help?
People kept asking me how I use a keyboard without QAZ so I threw them on there to appease everyone.
That's so perfect.
Why?
Yeah... I mean I want to try it out but... is it a joke or is it supposed to be an improvement?
It started as a joke but then I posted the layout from KLE on the 40% Discord and things got out of hand and the next thing I knew I was reaching out to manufacturers on Alibaba.
