The Foundation is Protozoa's FRL TKL XT mechanical keyboard meaning it's basically a TKL.. but it's also missing the function row... and it's got some more keys on the side... just watch the video, it makes sense. FRL, XT or not, has become one of my favorite keyboard layouts and the Foundation with it's unique material options and stunning exterior design loaded with chamfers is one of my favorite boards to put on my desk. The aluminum plate is one of the worst I have used unfortunately, the spacebar sounds horrific to my ears, but the PC plate is great. I've since gotten a PP plate for it as well which is even better for my tastes.
