Even if this isn’t really a 40, I’m posting it as it’s my only new board this year so far.

      I copy and paste anything that’s missing, Wikipedia has a nice key code page.

      But seriously, it’s on a chord for p and ;, I press both and that’s backspace. ; and " are delete.

      Chords are game-changing on smaller boards, particularly 30%. That and moving the mod keys (control etc.) to the home row (and row).

        Cool! I hadn’t heard that term (chords) before today. Do you have to press both buttons at precisely the same time or is it more forgiving, like CTRL+C, etc?

        I type too many numbers every day to give up my num pad, so I’ve never bothered to research tiny keebs since 98-100% works well for me.

        But aesthetically I do really like the small footprint on your desk!

        I work in QA so my desk is always cluttered with hardware. I already have a separate numpad at work (after going TKL and regretting it lol) so I’ve been considering going much smaller for my next build. I still don’t think I could give up a stand-alone backspace key though 😁
