The GMMK 2 (96%) layout is similar to a full-size keyboard with some differences:
• 99 keys (ANSI) or 100 keys (ISO)
• 3 × 1u keys to the right of the spacebar for Alt, Fn, and Ctrl
• 1u 0/Ins numpad key to allow space for arrow key cluster

• 1.75u Shift key below the enter key to allow space for arrow key cluster

How to Build
Changing Switches & Keycaps
The GMMK 2 is a mechanical keyboard featuring hot-swappable sockets. It is recommended to use Glorious switches with your keyboard for optimal compatibility. However, the GMMK 2 is also compatible with a variety of standard keyboard switches, including Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh branded switches.
A detailed how-to for hot-swapping switches and changing keycaps can be found here:
