Skeleton Keys - My first mechanical keyboard

Ok, to kick this off, I want to make a keyboard that I could use across both my Mac and my PC. And I also wanted it to be as small as I could make it while still being very functional. In general, the Mac Magic Keyboard layout is awesome, as it’s effectively a 65% but with the function keys. So this was my attempt at something similar:

It’s essentially the same setup as a Keycool 84, but with one of the top keys, I think the scroll lock key, removed, and all the function keys shifted half-way over so that they are not just perfectly above the numeral keys. I think this looks so much better.

Now there is 4 extra keys on here, Home, End, Pg Up, & Pg Dn. I never use them, but the alternative was to just leave them off and have a metal blank spot, so I just left them in, and maybe I’ll program them to do something else… or maybe I’ll learn to use them on my PC more!
