4 months agoAs someone who used to be enamored with huge keyboards I don’t get it myself, I tried it because I thought it was neat and next thing I know I’m just stuck here.
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.
