I started designing the Qazimodo in February and just got the first aluminum case from the manufacturer a couple days ago. Very happy with how it turned out.
I get that a small keyboard is nice, and that a numpad is not necessary for everyone, but no numbers at all seems quite drastic, and also no Ctrl or alt just looks very unpractical to work on.
- don’t know OP’s keymapping, but on the default QAZ layout:
- D and K are mod-tap Ctrl (ie. tap for D or K, hold for Ctrl)
- right space is layer-tap 1 (ie. tap for space, hold for Layer 1)
- Layer 1 is the numbers and symbols layer (ex. hold right-space, tap Esc for 1, hold right-space, tap G for %)
- EDIT: and that just covers the hold-taps, if OP adds in full tap-dance or combos or one-shot-mods or custom QMK code, then things can get really funky
It takes some getting used to but I’ve been using a 35% for work for almost a year now and I don’t think I can go back.
