    Managers will still expect you to do 60% of your work on 60% of your keyboard.

    Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.

      A typical office keeb is around $15. If you can build this for anywhere close to $150 I’m gonna take 2, please!

        I wrote “could easily cost 10 times more”, which doesn’t exclude an even higher price. $100-$150 for just the case (I couldn’t find the exact one) is what I’d expect.

      Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).

        I was even thinking just about the case - good CNCd aluminium has come down in price, but it’s still expensive. You also have a point, I agree.

        Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost.

        That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.

          Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the “Backspace” lettering up close for example.

          Keycaps is where I always avoid because that’s what makes keyboard standout other than the overall produced sound.

          Still saving for my keycaps sets

            True. I was mostly thinking about having to buy keycaps aftermarket when the prices double/triple and having to source all the different kits.

            Personally, I think I have three times as many keycap sets than I do keyboards.

    As someone that into mech keyboard hobby, I can say that’s still perceivable for average user as you still retain the familiar “qwerty” layout.

    Look up stenograph keyboard. They have lesser keys but allows someone to write higher wpm and programmable though I don’t think they would fit for average office workload (unless you types a lot).

    This is just retarded. Like how is it reasonable to have no a, z, space and enter key but have a code key and 2x alt, shift, control and fn keys. Like what do you need fn keys for anyway in this setup?

    This has to be meant as a joke. Or it was an American who build/programmed it.

      Outside of work, A was part of a Labor Union, a Marxist gathering and an Anarchist bookclub.
      So he was let go.

      I was allowed to keep his job cause he was the one who ratted on A.

      What? Ya can’t have access at all that; at what situation can ya fathomly have a want to access that?

      If you ever do need it, just hit the ol’ fn+super+shift+q,z
      If you ever need a ‘z’, just hit fn+alt+Ctrl+backspace.

      I imagine a single press of shift probably types A

      Z on the other hand

      Also why have a caps lock on a keyboard like this the only time I’ve ever touched it is for keybinds or by accident

          Is that true? the space bar is a keyboard shortcut?

          My latest keyboard doesn’t have a ctrl on the right side and it took me 2 weeks to adjust.

      The central control probably is set to spacebar, i dont think they make small space bars and they already have another control key down the right.

      It does however not have an “a” key, so maybe yours is misconfigured so the control-spacebar is the letter a?

      Usually on boards like this it’s remapped to Ctrl, Esc or whatever you actually want. At this point having the caps button still there is purely cosmetic.
