Six by five. Arrows on the outer column, PgUp/PgDn beside them, no Num key.
The scroll wheel is dropped - no good physical implementation - which also
removes the pointing-device path from the firmware entirely, frees a USB
endpoint, and retires the detentless-EC11 sourcing risk. The freed 2u at the
top takes a single volume encoder with room for a full-size knob.
BOM: diodes and sockets 26 -> 25, encoders 2 -> 1.
