Related: Anyone know where to get that kind of keyboard in the photo? Specifically, where the number pad and arrow keys are on the left? I've been looking and looking, but the best I can find is using a narrow keyboard with a separate number-pad only keyboard on the left. I'm in the US. (It's better for your right shoulder to keep the mouse closer to your body like in the picture.)

I believe it's this keyboard[1] from Posturite, but doing a web search for "Left-Side Numpad" of "Left handed keyboard" should show a few options.

The keyboard in the photo was bought from Amazon in the UK, as "Black Left-Handed Mechanical Keyboard".

I am indeed a right-handed user, which is why I want my mouse within reach on the right.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The article does mention a very specific choice of vibration equipment.

Same method though. There's a plethora of vibrating things to choose from. I suppose you could mold a large silicone tentacle to put on a jackhammer, too, and use that to fish for bubbles in your cement soup. Call the tool what you want, you haven't changed the method.

Yes, I did feel a bit silly buying and using it, but to be fair it did get the bubbles out.
