Not observant myself, but best wishes to those of the faith. My first ever hand-wired keyboard was a Planck with an extra column.

I made a lot of my own boards, and the three I use the most are:

One that's basically a "Tenkeyless", but I keep an external numpad nearby.
One that has a numpad but everything's kind of compressed and I use "Fn+number" to get the F keys. That one has a speck of UV resin on down-arrow so I can find it without looking.
One that is still a bit compact in layout, but has 117 keys, including a big red industrial pushbutton and a volume knob.

As fond as I am of this little guy, I just don't use it very often.

Would it be possible to have pictures of the boards you mentioned as well? You got me curious !

"TKL like". This one actually has a couple of siblings because it was not much more expensive to order extra aluminum plates.
