A Southpaw 96% keyboard because numpads on the left are awesome
- They allow the keyboard to be centered on your desk.
- They let you use the mouse and numpad at the same time.
- They are plain more ergonomic.
I made this keyboard because, as an ambidextrous person, I often feel like my left hand is under-utilized while I am doing productivity, coding, and gaming. I also use a 75% and sometimes miss having more keys, so I wanted to make a keyboard that gave you nearly every key of a regular keyboard, plus 4 additional macro keys for things like sleep.
