Zealousideal-Ad4561 Kiboard68 is a custom handwired 60% ortholinear layout with numpad. A wireless keyboard (ZMK firmware on a nice!nano microcontroller) in a standard 60% bamboo case.

As you can see, the backspace is strangely put in the middle which actually could make sense, however, the perpetrator disagrees:
[…] ended up regretting this but needed the mathematical operators near the Numpad since I deal with engineering softwares.
In addition, Enter became a palm-key:
Surprisingly intuitive to hit enter with the side of my right hand.
To achieve the rainbow patina effect, Zealousideal torched the custom laser cut steel plate (see the gallery ).
