Mechanical-keyboard layout selector
Typists matching layout to desk width. The decision this page isolates is narrow on purpose: translate desk width into a layout class. Fit and capacity are the expensive mistakes. Settle those before you commit to a finish or a brand.
This page produces an explainable category or size so options can be compared without a product ranking. The calculator does not rank Keychron and NuPhy. It produces an explainable class so Keychron Q1, Keychron Q6, and NuPhy Air75 can be compared as examples of that class.
The working method is: Convert the inputs into a published planning class using the method on this page, then compare official product pages that match that class. Planning notes are grounded in CTA. This page does not quote a price or rank a brand.
