Recently wanted to buy my self a wireless mechanical keyboard for programing on the coach. Took fucking ages to find one that didn’t have half the keys missing. And when I ask people why the keys are missing, they start ranting about the sin that the existence of these keys is and that you don’t even need them. Well tough shit, I quite actively use the F row and Home/End, and not just when programing, but in games and regular operation too.
Yeah. I’m cool with people using whichever form factor they feel like, even supremely obscure ones, but sometimes it’s annoying when the feature set I’m looking for is only available in either a full 105-key battleship or something cut down like a 60% or less. A TKL would be perfect but that form factor is surprisingly unpopular these days.
I’m trying out a slightly-less-than-TKL “80%” next; that has almost all of the keys I need and with some remapping I should be able to make it work.
