I believe that's called a 1800 compact keyboard, or a 96%.

It appears to be named after the Cherry model 1800, I have the GMMK2 96%, damn nice keyboard.

Mega rare layout! What board is that

I now wanna know brand and model too! But I have no idea. This picture is just from a keycaps listing on AliExpress I've saved a while ago.

That's the M93I by Jojo Studio. It just started group buy a couple of days ago through Wuque Studio's website. Not sure if I can link it but a quick Google search should come up with the product page.

Just buy a Keychron V5.
raptor102888 t1_iucc1dq wrote
Lots of comments answering 1800 out 96%. But this isn't one of those. It's something slightly smaller, and the layout itself probably doesn't have a name, just unique to this board.

96%
WeekendWarriorMark t1_iucda6m wrote
*keychron (autocorrect?)
Edit: Keychron V5 also has six more keys compared to the one in the pic by foregoing the spacing left and right of the f-keys and right of the space going for 1u instead of 1.25u. On the numpad section the one pictured doesn’t come w/ four columns +-= and the top row key are missing. Also the arrow keys are slightly offset downwards on the v5 reminiscent of the vintage 1800, which the one pictured doesn’t do.

What’re the keycaps?
LordNoodles1 t1_iucdo7w wrote
I have Keychron version and I regret it because I can’t find the arrow keys quickly for the work I do.
m4chinehead2 t1_iucdoyr wrote
Looks like a akko mod003 :) or very similar i have 2 :)
RoycevanBeethoven t1_iucdvg7 wrote
I don't think this is an 1800. 1800s generally have a numpad on the right, but this doesn't.
aeo1us t1_iuce35a wrote
A Keychron v5 is ABS housing and the numpad placement doesn't look as tight as this one does. Plus I love that blue + the pen holder.
Granted, none of that matters if they don't want to wait.
MayAsWellStopLurking t1_iuce77z wrote
It has a numpad but no -/+ and enter column
MayAsWellStopLurking t1_iuce88p wrote
I’d call it 1800 minus a column
WeekendWarriorMark t1_iucenvq wrote
2nd! numpad section has just 3 columns. Arrows are aligned (something I’d prefer over the 1800)
RoycevanBeethoven t1_iucfbnu wrote
I'm not sure where you got your definition of numpad, but numpads contain four columns with the mathematical operations you mentioned.
raptor102888 t1_iucfkm8 wrote
I think 0 through 9 arranged in a 3 x 4 grid can absolutely be called a "numpad". It's just not a tenkey.
lxxx_GodKing_xxxl t1_iucg6q3 wrote
if I'm not wrong, it called 96%
RoycevanBeethoven t1_iucg8aw wrote
I'm not sure when definitions changed for the numeric keypad, but it's always be 17 keys where I grew up, plus minus a couple of keys.
raptor102888 t1_iucgh2h wrote
Yeah I don't think we're speaking in terms of strict definitions here. He just meant it has a numpad minus the last column. And I don't think saying it that way was confusing to anyone.
Horned_Dolphin t1_iucjqfc wrote
Can you say what these key caps are called? I like them
MayAsWellStopLurking t1_iucm14l wrote
While we’re being pedantic, 1800 also doesn’t accurately describe it as the arrow cluster on the g80-1800 has some separation from the alpha cluster as well.
In that case, there’s no actual shorthand term to describe this keyboard, so I guess it’s just a unicorn ¯_(ツ)_/¯
ifancytacos t1_iucmlh9 wrote
This is needlessly pedantic. We all agree that it isn't a full numpad and that this isn't a standard 1800 or 96% layout because of that, but saying it doesn't have a numpad is just wrong. It does. It just isn't a standard numpad, and that's what makes this a non-standard layout
RoycevanBeethoven t1_iucmwwo wrote
I apologize. I almost forgot for a moment which subreddit I'm on. After all, I'm in r/MechanicalKeyboards, where having a genuine opinion that differs from the majority of people is equivalent to being pedantic. Thank you once again for the reminder. I truly appreciate it.
I would also like to point out that I believe you're right in your assessment with the arrow cluster. This might be a variant of the standard 1800 layout, but not actually the 1800 layout. I think it's a cool layout though.

Matasa89 t1_iucq361 wrote
Yeah I would call this an exploded 96%. It's not enough distance to be called 1800 and not compacted entirely like the 96%.
George_G_Geef t1_iucq4r3 wrote
perfect
zenzoka t1_iucsjgh wrote
Pretty sure that's where the numpad goes. There are a variety of layouts like this and like you said, seems highly impractical to me too. Numpads are a must for what I do so 1800s are my go-tos, and the lack of +, - and Enter on this particular layout have me screaming "Why?!"
To me numpad is the kinda thing where you either have a full one or do completely without. No in-betweens.
working-acct t1_iuct5nq wrote
Look if it quacks like a 1800 I’m calling it a 1800.
amelore t1_iuct83d wrote
Yes absolutely nothing against have no numpad (or no f-row, no navcluster, etc) just really weird to almost have a full numpad. What's the benefit supposed to be?

Unrelated, but does anyone know if the keycaps are sold separately? The color looks so sick
peanutbutterwife t1_iuczuwt wrote
My guess? Data entry. I do a ton of data entry into spreadsheets and almost never need those keys.
Funny enough, as an old school touch typist, I didn't like using those anyways. Having dedicated numbers is nice for data entry, but for formula entry into cells, I'll use the upper line +/- and all that because I'm already using alpha numeric for the cell identifiers. Just a theory, based on use and layout. YMMV.
EDIT: autocorrect needed fixing
saltineofmydream t1_iud2iut wrote
yeah this would not work for excel people unless you mapped a left hand enter key.
GolemancerVekk t1_iud3le9 wrote
Yeah, having the 2u zero on the left bottom and the 2u high enter on the right is like half the point of a dedicated numpad...
ExtraOordinary t1_iud92cw wrote
Full size?
Hi_I_Guess__ t1_iud9ou1 wrote
I know I'm probably wrong (I'm mildly new to keebs) but I think this is a 96 percent
LkMMoDC t1_iudab5a wrote
There are merits to this design. You can access the normal enter and backspace with the same hand you're using on the numpad.
whyamihereimnotsure t1_iudcdjw wrote
Yeah but it’s also missing keys that those layouts traditionally have.

Same, I have so many 60ish% im getting sick of the format. I would love to have something like this with a 2.4ghz dongle.

But the muscle memory! Also that's super awkward if you're doing lots of spreadsheets or entering lots of numbers constantly.

Yea, I was gonna say a compact 1800, but the numpad doesn't have the - + and ENTER keys...What's the point of a numpad if it doesn't have those keys? oof, this layout is a big "nope" from me
forter4 t1_iudob8p wrote
You "can" but it's not optimal. When I use excel or do anything, I tend to follow processes that allow the least amount of movement with my hands and least amount of time to actually do the job. Those two are typically interchangeable, but before you ask...yes, small movement make a difference overtime. Not necessarily in time saved, but in hand fatigue
cinlung t1_iudoce8 wrote
I just realized this numpad has no plus sign when you said this.
ostrichual t1_iudsrbb wrote
Probably something off of etsy bc I got a keycap set that looks exactly like it from there
FormalChicken t1_iudtbe7 wrote
It looks like some jacked up 96%. Every 96 I've seen is compact, no spacing between the num pad like this.

WhoIsRodrix t1_iudy72k wrote
It’s called 95%. I’ve used it for a while on my first mech now, and it’s absolutely amazing, only one key longer than a TKL without the useless [ for me ] nav keys and with the useful [ for me ] numpad. Akko 3098b with Akko CS Jelly Pink. Amazing keyboard with foam, Aluminum plate, PBT caps and hotswap.
NintendogsWithGuns t1_iudzkv2 wrote
With this layout the numpad is already right next to the main enter key, the - + keys would have been a welcome addition though. Think this would have worked better with an ISO or JIS-inspired layout, as the main enter key would be taller and you might be able to make a creative use of the extra keys
TooMuchMech t1_iue0hu5 wrote
Messing with the numpad is unforgivable. Just get a tkl.
Bierdigan_ t1_iue6bx5 wrote
Is OP looking for this exact board or just something in the ballpark of that layout? Probably a fairly large difference in price between the two

this and the lack of "+" "-" 🤔 but it looks good so I guess it's fine HAHA
fantastic_beats t1_iue8ktl wrote
It's a … 1796 🤔
fantastic_beats t1_iueathn wrote
Yeah, you could learn to use it, either with other layers or with the keys off to the left.
> the numpad doesn't have the - + and ENTER keys...What's the point of a numpad if it doesn't have those keys?
Num Lock makes tenkeys super handy as arrow keys/nav clusters, but this layout has a separate arrow cluster, which eats into that effectiveness a bit. The Candybar layout, which is a 40% with a tenkey, is one of the only ones I've seen with that philosophy. But at that point you may be better off with a 40% and a Murphpad you keep in a drawer and plug in when you need it
walterjrscs OP t1_iueblcz wrote
People pointed out this is the JoJo m93. I was mostly looking to see if this layout has a name so I can look for similar keyboards but sounds like this is not a very standard layout.
raijba t1_iuefaj8 wrote
I know you might have to adjust your muscle memory, but 2.25u enter is only slightly further than the usual 2u vertical enter would normally be. Still usable IMO, and maybe worth it for people who want a more compact board but want to keep numpad functionality, albeit at slightly less functionality than a full numpad.

I think the M0LLY as well?

Interesting, is that how the company said its pronounced or is that how its popularly pronounced in the western world? Just based on the Chinese "无缺" aka WuQue, I feel like it should be pronounced something like "woo-chreh".

These. Same board and background, too.
NiteStryker33 t1_iuekuxu wrote
Sure are. Pics have same board and background, too. Bunch of other Etsy listings for different number of caps at various prices.
raptor102888 t1_iuemsql wrote
It doesn't quack like an 1800 though. It doesn't have all the same columns, so it's functionality is wildly different.
Bierdigan_ t1_iuetlta wrote
For sure. I saw a lot of the comments were getting into the nitty gritty but I was curious what it was you were really aiming for in the end. It's not standard, but it's definitely standard adjacent haha, the most uniqueness seems to mostly just be in the placement of the numpad/arrow keys/blocker area

Having to take my hand on the TK to hit enter defeats the entire purpose of the TK IMO.

I feel like it was a GMK gradient at one point. I think Signature plastics has also done a similar gradient.

I really like the color of this board. I’m new to the hobby and trying to find something like this in a full or TLK. Anybody know of one that isn’t 269 dollars for a barebones board?

So many wrong answers. Why guess? Either you know and answer or don’t. It’s close to a full size but has no nav keys so is a 90-something. This specific layout is a 93% it seems as it is the Jojo m93.

compact keyboard with numpad are often called 96 but the proper term is the "1800 Compact" and yes there are 96 keys. :)
difference between this and the full size keyboard is on the full size there are ample space between the numpad, function keys and main keyboard whereas in the 1800 compact all of those keys are smack back stuck together to eliminate all those space.
DriveByStoning t1_iuf960f wrote
I'm assuming that's how they want it pronounced. All their YouTube videos are silent, but every reviewer I've seen has pronounced it like that from back when I started paying attention during the Ikki68 buy. Andy/Taeha/Betty/Alexotos/BadSeed/Clackbait/

I'd have to agree. I'm a power excel user so at this point I'd just go straight to a 75 GMMK Pro style design rather than keep a nerfed numpad.
