Alexey Prokopenko designs a new modular keyboard concept, which addresses the issue of long-standing handedness. The solution is to create a keyboard layout that specifically caters to needs and preferences. It is simple to purchase a TKL keyboard and a new number pad separately which allows users to arrange the two to meet their needs.
The visual and functional disconnection between these can have a minimal effect on the subconscious. The modular element is like the Connect concept that solves this project. Overall, users place a numpad module on the left and right of the 'main' TKL keyboard in a sense that connects the pieces physically. It is all a part of the same system, encased in a matte black structure.
