I’ve been searching, for years now, for the perfect (for me) keyboard layout but have only ever seen one example and am not even certain what it’s called.

The one pictured above, which is a cheap unbranded POS with exactly nothing swappable - not even keycaps, has a 3 features that are impossible to find.

1. Is almost exactly the same size as an 80% TKL like my crush 80. Maybe it’s an 85%?
   
2. Has a numpad
   
3. Has full sized shift keys so the arrow keys are now smashed against the rest of the keyboard.

If I can find one of these with my choice of switches and keycaps plus all of the other modern bells and whistles, I’ll never buy another keyboard again. The crush80 would be perfect if it just had a numpad instead of those other keys I never use. Is it feasible to machine the aluminum of a crush80 to fit the numpad? Will my dream ever come true?
