I only use kinesis advantages so believe me that I wish cherry mx was even close to as good as topre.

yeah im just trolling, my next extreme keyboard project will probably be converting an hhkb to 55g topre, just need to work out the logistics

the kinesis has a usb hub w/ 2 ports and frankly i would not buy a keyboard w/o one

it looks like the kinesis 2 moved the hub from the keyboard to the (optional) 10-key keypad doohickey

this seems like a bad move

It should have been illegal to deviate from the standard US qwerty ANSI keyboard layout, every other country has tried their best to gently caress up the keyboard layout for programmers

In Norway, useful keys like { [ ] } are moved to AltGr-7 8 9 0

(for reference)


On the norwegian macintosh layout it's even worse, with shift-8 and 9 being ( and ), alt--8 and 9 being [ and ] and alt-shift-8 and 9 being { and }

shift-7 is /, alt-7 is | and alt-shift-7 is \

Imagine how fun it is to program C code like that, no wonder all Norwegian software is written in visual basic

I don't know why I actually read through 20 pages of this thread, It's like watching autism in its purest form manifest itself in keycaps. I can't look away. It's taken hold. I'm being drawn in.

Time to regale you all with a horror story that will make you clutch your beloved in terror. The best mechanical keyboard I ever used was the $60 monoprice brick with genuine cherry blues from before they switched to knockoffs and doubled the price. It wasn't terribly pretty, made entirely from shiny ABS plastic and weighed a hefty few pounds. everything was spaced perfectly for my gimp hands to reach, it had a wonderfully useful 10key (gently caress the haters, you're all monsters) and no gaudy backlighting.
Then my bird betrayed me in a way most foul. She was ill, with bird diarrhea, and for some reason I thought she would be okay if I left her alone while I took a shower... I was wrong. She climbed up onto my desk and laid a big watery poo poo right onto the WASD cluster and even the most thorough cleaning has left everything left of the F key unresponsive.

I replaced it with the cheapest mech I could find with genuine blue switches... A Logitech 710+. It's awful. There's like 2inches of wasted space on each side that serve no purpose except taking up even more of a footprint on a crowded desk, and I still haven't found a use for the difficult to hit G programmable keys to the left of tab. Even the blue switches dont feel as nice as the ones on the monoprice. I hate myself for not spending the extra 30bux and getting a WASD.
