I am thinking about attending a Java related conference next year. Are there any European ones, preferably smaller and less intimidating, you can recommend to a newcomer? I'm currently going through JCON recordings but that one seems big. In the meantime I also plan to visit my local JUG meeting

The context is that I'm a rather stereotypically shy and introverted software engineer, but I want to push myself a bit and try to make some real world connections with fellow. Maybe even speak at one someday. I've been working on improving myself for the past few years and I think it's time to pick up the pace and take this step.

I'm pretty sure that something like this doesn't exist off the shelf, but I'll ask to be sure. Is there an off the shelf, Alice-like, ergonomic or split mechanical keyboard that retains all of the keys of an TKL/80% in their proper relative positions?

I need a full set of full-size F keys, traditionaly arranged arrows/Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn, both Ctrls, both Alts. Numpad either gone or attached to the left. Just the main block has to be angled like an Alice keyboard. The closest thing I've found is something referred to as "Sanwa Alice" on Aliexpress, but it does unfortunately have the Numpad.

Is there anything that matches my description or do I have to go the full custom design route?
