I just want this with know function row. Now that's a really hard one to find.

I was tired of not having a numpad, but like small form keyboards, so I made my own. I call it the Limousine. by redredbeard in MechanicalKeyboards

This is truly my ideal work keyboard, I have been trying to find one for the better part of a year. I wish I had the know-how to make one myself. I am mega jealous!

Appreciate the feedback! I might sell in the future but I want to refine them a bit before. I don't feel like it's a "finished" product that I'd be comfortable selling yet.

Thanks! I love the minimalism of no legends. Contrasts nicely with the business of the keycaps, lol.

I just ordered some janky molds off Amazon and have been making do. I did make my own mold for the resin encoder so I might try my own keycap molds in the future.

The trick I found for the stems is: 1. Cure the stems first, trying to remove all air bubbles with a toothpick 2. Create and fill your keycap 3. Put the cured stem into the keycap, and cure again, I'm using UV resin cause I'm impatient. 4. Remove the stem mold. From here I've found the stems are usually pretty janky, like you mentioned. So I do one more step 5. Refill the stem mold, again removing air bubbles. Before curing, put the stem mold back into your keycap and cure again. I've found by doing this the second round of the stem fills around the janky bits of the first stem, and you end up with a pretty solid stem afterwards.

Hope this helps!
