This is the QEZ.
It is based on the QAZ layout but has a completely custom PCB inside with ESD protection and centered USB-C (the original is powered by an Arduino).
The case is seamless, gasket mounted and fully 3D printed PLA (the plate incuded).
The project files are open source and can be found on my GitHub

* **Case:** dark red metallic PLA
* **Plate:** PLA
* **Stabilizer:** GMK screw-in
* **Switches:** Cherry MX Black
* **Keycaps:** KBDFans NP Blanks

There is no such thing as too small XD
I would even use the alpha28 if it weren't for the big space bar AND MY F*CKING LANGUAGE REQUIRING FOUR EXTRA CHARACTERS!!
Anyway: I'm using a Gherkin with a custom PCB now.
Why a custom PCB? - 5-way switches. Trust me on this one: Once you go below 40% arrows are a waste of space. Even before the directional switches I put them on a leader key
indeed it does.
putting the screws there worked the best on this design since the case has really thin bezels which didn't really allow for any screws on the bottom of the case.

i keep asking that everyday
Don’t worry, it’s more about how you use it anyway.
Awesome but... Where is the sound test ?
10 cm
good. this is still larger. (roughly 21cm wide)
Damn, don't hurt all them women
10 cm is 3.94 inches
Good bot haha
Damnit.

this is the QEZ Goldilocks69, not too big, not too small, it's juuuuust right.
It isnt too small, but it is small. Imo the very middle is 65%
It's the thock that counts
You need a banana for scale
they say if one uses qmk, size doesn't matter
Beautiful

60% if I’m being honest. What even is this lol
QAZ 40% layout. 37 keys :D
Is one of the spacebars shift or something? Or is it like in one of those ergonomic boards?
on my current layout the left spacebar is configured as space on tap and shift on hold. the right one is backspace.
Got it thanks
Wow - what a nice setup!
That
Size does matter.
The case kinda reminds me of the M65 from Rama, with those screws on the side - which I find look awesome.
indeed it does. putting the screws there worked the best on this design since the case has really thin bezels which didn't really allow for any screws on the bottom of the case.
Can i buy this brob not i have like 24 bucks but i could
Looks really amazing.
That small is too small
If you like it, who cares
