Throwing heavy clickies and no-name caps onto a budget 1800...

RK96 that's been de-foamed, de-batteried, and remapped to the extent its garbage software will permit
Kailh Speed Navy
Mix-n-match QX SA caps from two different sets

It's a loud, cheap MF'er, and I kinda like it.

I'd keep hitting the up arrow instead of RShift

I’d keep hitting the right arrow, instead of numpad 0.

Yup, that's a bigger problem

I get it. Personally, I can't do ISO-style left-shift where it's smaller and has another key between it and the nearest letter. I don't use Right shift much, and when I do I land on it's left side, so that wasn't an issue, and it didn't take me long to get used to curling my thumb a bit more on the numpad. Layouts that compress things a bit but retain a numpad are my sweet spot.
