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.

As 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.

By pressing function+2, though in using TD instead of MO I do have to wait 200ms… I like having F13-F24 on a third layer though.

Absolutely no hot tubs in the dumpster.

A good couple passes each way and I like to taper from the ear to my forehead and over my neck too.

I started doing it with the pandemic and now I can’t bring myself to pay a barber again.

Where else am I supposed to wipe food dust off my fingers?

Nope, this kit is just mx style and I haven’t seen an alps kit, though, to be fair I couldn’t find anything on it being available in black either except for one seller just happened to have it so… going with a weak maybe into no.

I don’t know much about 60%s to say if the board uses standard mounting points or not, if it could support an alps pcb.

Interesting, I don’t like how much I like them…

I think I can control myself for now, I just won’t check if there are tall caps in that style. 🫠
