With modern "1800-layout" keyboards reducing the space between the numeric row and the function keys, they lose four keys above the numpad to ½u space. The original G80-1800 also had a 1×1u numpad + key.

That's five keys missing.

TBH, I prefer the look of this to the 1800.

But I’m a symmetry fanatic 60% user so not exactly the audience. :P

The web page has:
• Three popups when entering
• Five floaters along the borders, obscuring the web page and reducing the web page's area
• Seven trackers

But not a single high-resolution image where I can watch exactly which layout the keyboard has in the upper/right corner.

Works better with JavaScript turned off. Thanks for warning me. ;)

Those keys up top are delete, insert, page up and page down. In a straight line. Suboptimal! Especially with such low contrast legends. Fury guaranteed! :lol:

The overall hardware layout is okay though. Says someone who never uses the numpad.

I may be in the minority here but I would prefer these sorts of boards way more if they ditched the arrow keys and were just alpha + numpad + fkeys. the arrows being so far away from the other nav keys means it's easire to just turn off numlock and use the nav keys on the numpad but at that point you can just use the numpad arrows.

The case looks nice enough though
