From the Designer, Abec13:
"The Gentoo is a penguin themed, 65% keyboard that is a clear successor to my previously released board, The Adélie. With The Adelie paying homage to my favorite types of boards, sub 60's, it excluded the number row. For some, this was a deal breaker and I can't say that I blame them.
"Gentoo" is the name of a different species of penguin and as the name of this board works two fold: not only is this board the "Gen 2" of its predecessor, the Gentoo penguin, as you can see here, is a slightly larger penguin than the Adélie which I find aptly describes the relation between this board and the last."

FAQ: https://www.deskhero.ca/pages/faq
- Can I combine a Group Buy's matching deskmat with the keyset in my order?
-
Unfortunately no. There was a time where orders allowed to add deskmats and keysets together but due to the nature of production -deskmats often come many months before the keysets arrive. There is simply not enough space to store deskmats for months at at time.
This may change in the future, and some sets may allow it depending on manufacturing timelines for both the keysets and deskmats.
The keyboard in the photo may differ slightly from the production units. The image is the best representation of what the final product will look like. Because of the production method used, there is a possibility of a slight difference in color between units in the same batch. By purchasing this product, you are accepting this risk.
