Key counts vary between boards, especially around the arrow cluster and split spacebars. Check your board's layout before ordering.

How this calculator works

Key counts are typical for each layout. Spares add a percentage and round up, and switches are usually sold in packs of 10, so we round the order up to the next pack.
