Hmmm, can I bump the thread?
I updated the OP.QuoteI am very obsessed with having a very solid keyboard. To me a good keyboard needs three things otherwise it is utterly unusable:
1. TKL TKL TKL
2. SOLID CONSTRUCTION (Automatically means metal casing, possible hard anodized aluminum). Acrylic can get the hell out.
3. ERGONOMICS! 5 degree incline. I'm not taking more than that, I don't want a 7 degree, or god forbid, 11 degree incline. If the bottom part of the keyboard is like an inch tall, how the heck am I supposed to use the keyboard without pain?
(And proper backlighting but that can be added after-the-fact, the issue is just money.)
Ducks are out. The Lightsaver looks nice but the 11 incline is a definite no-go.
60% keyboards are now out http://imgur.com/gallery/TwxO8Omegle Chat
Entire Gon setups are out due to acrylic.
Top 2 considerations:
Kmac 2 from KBDmod.com from Korea for $400 + Gon PCB + Leds installed. Totals to like $700 shipped and ready after hiring somebody.
Ducky Shine 3 PCB + Tex Aluminum Case. $300 tops. Have to wait until June for the case to "hopefully" go into stock.
R5 & windowed keys make me moist.agreed. too many designs taking a step back to R4 lately and it's so annoying
What's the reason behind no barred F and J keys?
The main reason was, cutting what we could to help with the costs, due to creating new molds, all while keeping as many people as possible. By not cutting 4 key 40s, Alice and UK ISO. You will also notice we removed barred 5 along with F & J.
Another reason was that we didn't like how the bar was interfering with the doubleshot sublegends in our render tests and decided to go with scooped over barred as there is less interference and more aesthetically pleasing look.
