Title: Keychron's latest wireless gaming keyboard blends a num pad with all the benefits of Hall-effect switches and compact layouts
Post by: Redaktion on August 14, 2025, 22:47:35
The Keychron Q12 HE features a southpaw design, meaning it has a full num pad — with a wide zero key — and saves space for the mouse on the right side. It also features Keychron's excellent customisation suite and smooth Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Nebula Hall-effect switches.

If you are going to put the num pad on the left, why not switch num display to:

9 8 7
6 5 4
3 2 1
  0

Makes more sense ... does it not?!

It is like DJ jog wheels. One should move in one direction and the other one in the opposite; but as for now they do not. They follow direction how past turntables function.

The human body is asymmetrical ... makes more sense ... does it not?!

I think it could be arranged with via/qmk, could it not?
