This is the layout you use when you want to relearn typing from the ground up, but refuse to relearn any shortcuts I guess??

I just googled cast iron keycaps and was disappointed they aren't a thing
Brass would be acceptable
I just need something real dumb for next keyboard build
Maybe I should shapeways or buy a 3d printer

Wirecutter recommends the WASD Code 87 or 104 keyboards. Are this an goode choice for babby’s first mechanical keyboard?

What’s the quietest option?

E: what about volume knobs and the calculator button? I don’t see options for those? :ohdear:

E2: Maybe a Logitech G610 Red?

If you’re going to go in for $160 on a Code, I would recommend looking at a Kira. It is a significantly better keyboard. Right now they have the standard/black case version with their “True” switches for $179.

It’s gotta be red or black switches though, BORAT VOICE MY WIFE really isn’t a fan of teh clicky-clacky.

Ergo keyboards make my hands hurt, and a volume knob and media buttons are nice-to-haves.

How about: Any reason *not* to go with a Logitech G610 Red?
