Title: HyperFuse "Code" Keycap
Post by: starhacker on Fri, 13 July 2018, 00:48:50: I just received a HyperFuse Origins keyset and its amazing.

I was curious about the origin of the "Code" key cap and why its part of the HyperFuse keyset design. Coming from a software dev, I love the keycap, nice little detail.

It's partly software-dev related. As more people get into this hobby, macOS or Linux folks find it annoying to see a WIN key on their keyboards, so custom keysets start using either SUPER or CODE instead.
