    This seems like a possible contender. I’m currently giving it a test now just to see what it’s like. I’m fairly new to all this, what do you mean by their geo-stack not being open?

    Edit: I’m not sure this one will be able to work after all. I think it probably needs to be mobile focused, and this one seems to want to be used on desktop. I tried uploading a .pdf for a georeferenced map and it just got stuck in the loading process (this could be just because my internet is shit right now). I may give it another try, but for now I might have to keep looking.





  • I didn’t mention it in the description, but I think in my head I was definitely imagining a TKL form factor. Thinking about it though, I probably wouldn’t mind the extra width too much. I think I could manage just fine with it, and the numberpad would be better than the one that’s on my laptop currently (it’s got a single-width zero key instead of double width that I’m used to…)

    Yeah, I definitely found their website to be a bit overwhelming. Lol.

    Thanks for finding that one for me, it’s going on the list for when I’m ready to pull the trigger.


  • I hadn’t really considered this, but I think I would want the entire thing to be low profile if I went that route. Not that it wouldn’t work great or anything, but it seems like it might be odd to have low prof. caps on a full thickness board? Maybe I’m just overthinking it.

    As it currently stands, I’m considering giving up the volume knob because there doesn’t seem to be any models that fit all of my requirements. Currently leaning towards the Nuphy brand


  • The Nuphy’s do seem a little more my speed for style and feel. I like the practical implementations of rgb on those new models you linked to. They’re not much more expensive either.

    I wonder why that is. Almost none of the low profile options have rotary encoders. I don’t think a column staggered design would be a good fit for me right now, though I’m sure they’re nice. I may just have to compromise on the encoder, or the low profile. I feel like the low profile might be less important to me.
