wow that's a terrible place for a touchpad

it's originally a financial keyboard - the previous owner had the halves swapped around compared to that image.

i like it because it gives me the ergonomic benefits of a 60% board without giving up the command block and numpad.

i don't even have the touchpad plugged in 'cause my motherboard only has one ps/2 port

this is so hosed up

i first saw it when i was at Desert Bus for Hope one year and one of the tech leads had one (with no identifying marks beyond an FCC ID also used on a dozen other keyboards), spent a few weeks sleuthing my way to the brand name, bought one on TaoBao where the seller eventually flaked and refused to actually send it, then had to scour ebay until one eventually showed up that would only ship to the US, so I had a US-based friend buy it for me and then send it onto me

It's from DSI keyboards and has been sold under the names "SMK-101" and "DCK-101". The ones branded with DCK are newer. DSI themselves haven't sold them for a long-rear end while. I wrote and asked them if they had any spares lying around they could sell me, and they said if I ordered a batch of at least 500 we could talk, otherwise i could feel free to go gently caress myself (paraphrased)

DSI Keyboards DCK-101 (though mine is the older model, SMK-101). It's an out-of-production financial keyboard with Cherry MX Blues. The idea is the two halves can be swapped around, depending on which part you use the most. The previous owner of my board had the half with the touchpad and numpad at the bottom, probably since they were entering a lot of numbers, and the switches on that half are so worn out they barely even clicketyclack anymore.

It's cool 'cause you get the ergonomic benefits of a 60% board, but you still get to have a numpad and a command block if you want them.

According to the customer service rep from DSI I contacted when I was trying to find this board, your only options are either order at least 500 of them and they'll do a new production run for you, or get lucky on eBay.

Corsair uses weird bottom rows yeah, so the answer is "wait for a massdrop that comes with the option of paying extra for a corsair-compatible bottom row"
