Mine

I've just bought a Keyboardio Atreus. I had the Ducky One 2 Mini, but it was a tad too heavy in my backpack and the firmware was closed source. I wanted to buy a Planck, but decided to go with a prebuilt 40% instead.

I've gone with brown switches. I'm still learning how to use this keyboard (lots of muscle memories from touch typing on a normal keyboard.)

Wow! I did not know they had 40% keyboards. That looks really cool. How do you type numbers?
How much does the Keyboardio Atreus weigh? My plan was to have two mechanical keyboards. I would have one for work and one for home to not have to travel with a keyboard. My laptop is under 3.49 lb / 1.59 kg and traveling with it in my backpack hurts my shoulders. Ugh! Lol.

They are arranged like a numpad and you access them by pressing and holding the fun key. While you can customize the firmware, they have a GUI software to remap the keys very easily.

By the way, it is very small. The size of two external drives
