Unless something very different comes along I don’t think I’ll be moving on from this keyboard.
Ryeworks M0110 hotswap keyboard with solenoid, PCB and FR4 plate both with flex cuts, Kailh box pro deep sea whale tactile(what a mouth full), staebies stabilizers and cherry profile double shot pbt keycaps.
The amount of flex, the tactiles with the solenoid, the layout, everything is exactly as I would want. I keep looking and browsing different keyboards, switches, stabilizers and keycaps but I’m just not seeing anything I feel like buying and trying.
I was using one with high profile, dark colored abs keycaps but just wasn’t satisfied, tried a light color one with higher contrast caps and it was a huge improvement. I then went to a split left shift and having a function key on that side made it perfect for me.
I guess I solved my desire, which should be a good thing right?
US layout is ANSI (long horizontal enter key). This is a UK ISO keyboard, though this one isn’t standardised (see where the control key is placed).
I really dislike the fact that, in Europe, when you cross a border, the keyboard layout can be totally different.
This is neither a UK ISO layout, nor a US ANSI. It’s an ISO layout that uses the US ANSI positions for the symbols.
Yeah it’s an amalgamation of a layout, raised with a big ass enter keyboard, later switched to a standard ansi and always hated that backslash and pipe had a large key? Always bothered me. After a while I got my hands on a wyse 50 keyboard and did a soarer’s mod on to make it usb and was happy for awhile until they key combos resulting in other keys finally pushed me to moving on. I don’t remember many but ctrl+w+e would send tab, not great when I’m crouch walking and go to open a door.
Would still love to have a space larger than 7, that 9.75 space bar was something else… Also got me to love control below tab. Though now I don’t even want a caps lock key, if I for some reason really want to use it I have key combos, both shifts works fine for me should I need it.
