Since I use arrow keys more than a numpad, this mod seemed fitting.

I like having vertical enter on the right because I pop it with my mouse thumb, allowing me to keep my hand on the mouse if needed and I don't have to move my left hand from home row. Having delete and insert in "normal" locations is helpful for me personally. I might still mess with numlock/scroll lock but not sure if I can remap numlock anyway. This particular board started out in Daniel Beaver's hands who did the Model M spacebar and backspace mod. I bought it from him in a package with a Focus 5001.

I really like it! It's pretty clever, using that fourth row for an extra enter, as well as F11 and F12. I like the position of tilde and escape.

Do you have the keys mapped as a more "normal" ten key software-side, or do you just do without (like many of the TKL fans) ?

Thanks. I haven't done an AHK script for the current revision shown yet, had one for a very similar layout previously.
AHK is nice if you swap boards a lot, if you don't then sharpkeys to edit registry works well.
