I've looked at those and was considering buying one since I already own a K2 v1 which I love. But for the life of me I cannot understand why they switched from the 5-key layout on the rightmost vertical to a 4-key one. And Keychron are not the only ones, I've seen other manufacturers with the same layout, both Alice and regular 75%. Especially since there still is physical space for the missing key. This would allow direct access to home / end / pgup / pgdn. But now, one of them is missing, or delete is missing, etc.

Yeah, I've ended up mapping "M5" to "End" (so that "Home" has a counterpart). This current one still has the Ins/Del/PgUp/PgDn/Home for direct access, but certainly some of the lack is a head-scratcher.
