rather its a mechanical&usb retake of it

I know a separate keycap set would fix certain little things like the modifier key spellings tho so don't nitpick too much about the factory photos? ;-)

Its cute'n'all (really cute) and a fair price for keyboards these days, but there isn't a lot of technical info on the page about keys, connectivity and the like, unless I missed it among all the reading-between-the-lines in the intro passage, or maybe a link. Did I miss it?

edit (I would really miss arrow keys, but there is definitely a use case for a minimalist keyboard)

@Juror22 yeah I suspect that link is more of a groupbuy update kind of page rather than an actual specification page

and regarding arrow keys, as far as I can tell from a quick look on the web it seem that the original setup basically overlaid the arrowkeys onto the separately-provisioned numpad itself so I suspect 'yer usb someone' would had gotten a qmk/via programmed (being that seem to be a very common software especially for osx support too) numpad with custom-made legends and use the Fn key on the primary keyboard to access the arrowkeys on the numpad itself? this is just in theory as I have zero clue about the entire qmk/via software at all!

and just to further back that up for anyone else here who probably haven't ever seen pre-adb keyboards either I present you the apple numpad (aka m0120) that would had been paired with the apple keyboard (again aka m0110) itself

Definitely need keys that spell out things like Shift, Tab, etc, as well.

Those were really nice and I almost jumped on the group buy for them but it took forever to deliver. A lot of delays. One of the options on it was a beige vintage style cerakote. It was just a kit, so no switches or keycaps, you just supplied whatever you wanted and soldered them yourself. Actually now that I think about it, it didn't come with a PCB either because it accepted the general standard "poker" style 60% PCB which there's a lot of options for already.

Firmware would depend on the PCB but generally QMK and your arrows etc could all be there on a layer wherever you wanted them to be.
