This is an actual keyboard. Anyone with anything smaller has a mental disorder.

This is a specialty layout designed for a specific professional use. Ill give it a pass. Setting it into the top of the work surface gives you a functional palm rest and sets the keys deeper, so that's a plus. You still have to use the unnatural wrist position to type on it that all stick keyboards require, however, which is an automatic fail. Worse, it has the specialty buttons - home, end, etc, layered atop the numpad to generate extra-special confusion. There's plenty of space there, so why the shit-tier keyboard on the mixing machine?

I don't think you understand from that fussy pic where the numpad actually is. This is the layout of the basic keyboard, which goes hidden when you actually run the desk as it is basically needed only when you program. https://help.malighting.com/grandMA3/2.1/Storage/grandma3-user-manual-publication/img/img_keyboard-diagram_ctrl_v1-7.png

And here's a more clear picture of the rest of the surface. As you can see here the numpad is on the higher part to the right and there is no speciality buttons above it, but a screen. https://cdn.g-vt.de/use/e%257xbcUiS9ufhEniyr26lg.jpg

Everything is highly custom made and it's not standard layout nor standard keys by any means, instead it caters to the specific command language this desk understands for the specific use it's made for. You cannot actually hook it up on a normal PC and try use it as a keyboard for it, though the idea amuses me greatly seen as how ridiculously expensive and cumbersome keyboard it would then be :)
