Not one, but two Cyphers

The Cypher is a compact f-rowless 1800 layout keyboard, which means it is somewhat close to fullsize in regard that it has a numpad and arrow cluster, but is lacking the f-row (f1-f12) and the nav keys (PgUp, Ins, ..). The Cypher was designed and produced in a small number this round by Reddit user Amthe. Only something like 20 keyboards were manufactured, but larger group buy got planned.

What they lack in number of keys they make up in nimble size and portability. The f-row is reached using Fn-key and numrow. Furthermore they have three leds between numlock and backspace for caps lock, num lock and scroll lock. The keyboards has two-toned cases, meaning the one with silver top has a grey bottom, and the one with grey top has a silver bottom.
The reasons for buying two are that one is going to be the wifes keyboard and the other one my own. Wife chose the one with silver top.
