Such a banger of a board.

I'm shocked at how much I'm enjoying it!

I was waiting a good while for the keycaps to roll in to build it.

Definitely worth the wait

So the W1-AT is a modern take on the IBM Model F AT. I don't think Windows was the most prevalent OS at the time so keyboards of that era didn't have the Winkey. Seems like geon is pretty fond of that keyboard and this is his rendition of the layout.

This layout aside, no windows key (winkeyless, WKL) is a popular layout option that you'll see being offered on a lot of boards these days.

The selling point being the fact that not everyone has a use for the windows key (I do though; I have it mapped to right alt) and some people want to avoid hitting the Winkey while gaming. Also, the symmetry is very visually pleasing
