Reactionary phase will pass

[ancient token]

Don't be discouraged by reddit/discord negative reception, this is just initial reactionary response from people not realizing why doing 80HE this way is better and also why having arrow keys this way is the only good way to do it, there is no better way - the current way is charming/playful, more aesthetically fitting, the light bar fits better because of 3-4 reasons, the arrow key "tetris block" is now attached and feels good, compared to some detached way to "align" it to something - something that would overall make it worse, good distance to Ctrl key (would be too big if moved).

Wait a few days, the reactionary attitude will subside, and then continue to update on its features, and then people will accept it even more and more.

What would make Arrow keys look even better is to have smaller Bezels, like in following picture (ignore the volume roller)

'improved' version, with smaller Bezels on the sides, but current bottom bezel and same applied to top (so it compliments the bottom bezel).
and now look how arrow keys are looking even better with similar spacing to the right and bottom from the edge.
(the bot-left, top-left and top-right corners don't look super good, so can go back to previous alternative if needed)

i love that keeb

I like it too, definitely more than suggestions to move the arrow keys.
Templars_Knight suggested in #🌟│wooting80he this layout, which also looks good, also because you don't really functionally need that gap, since you can recognize the End (Del) key by the empty space below it, and also the default gap is already enough for no-misclick.

just grant it ONE more column of keys, so it becomes visually pleasing

Wait, does this mean that we may have a numpad module for the 80he in the future ?
