A nice effort to solve this was made by MS with the Sidewinder X6
Someone just needs to make a mechanical version with less "Gaming" nonsense and I'd be interested.

I agree that the numpad shouldn't be on the same side than the pointing device.
How about this, then?
i use right hand for both mouse and tenkey, in saying that i usually have mouse relatively close to kb, I am used to having a small desk. Using kb and mouse my arms are perpendicular to my chest, with only a reduction of 15-20cm between hands moving right hand to numpad.

Can't decide which of these colour schemes to choose for my custom keycaps. Opinions?
Personally I find the white letters on Orange keys easier to pick out at a glance.
Why such a bright colour scheme?!
Hard to choose. I like the first one but I am not fond of the black bottom row.
Massdrop is running a drop that could interest you. It offers plenty of customizations and matches this colour scheme :

Do you think white would suit the bottom row better?
Yeah I know about the overcast GB, but with shipping this is going to be even more expensive than importing the keys from WASD, and I really want the keycaps to be mine. Also I need german ISO layout and they don't seem to offer keys for Ü Ö Ä or the number row the german layout uses. I'm also going for a split backspace and an R1x1.75u key for the up arrow, which I can only get at WASD, so while I'm paying shipping for that, might as well get all the keys there.
They do look pretty darn good, though.
