I can kinda get not needing a numpad, but what about []{};:, any numbers etc....?

There are multiple layers that can be accessed by pressing a modifier key. Like how you would press shift to type a symbol instead of a number, but for every key. And you can have multiple layers too.

But they aren't labelled, not is there a modifier key that wouldn't conflict with windows preset modifiers?

You can program the firmware however you want. Many people don’t even use QWERTY. You can design the layers however you want so that you can remember them without labels.

Basically that will be only used by the owner since they're the ones who know where the secret number keys are 😆

Looks really cool!

Mind if I ask: what controller did you use in this build?

Nice, which switches did you use?

A bunch of old Cherry MX Clears that I recycled from a 60% keyboard that I had laying around. So much desoldering (including led) just to resolder them on again 😅
