[B]Del[/B] [B]Backspace[/B]
[B]Tab[/B] [B]Enter[/B]
I would rearrange the keys in the middle to be more like µTron's.Code: [Select][B]Del[/B] [B]Backspace[/B]
[B]Tab[/B] [B]Enter[/B]
More consistency. Counterparts are opposite one-another. The keys on the left affect text on the right. The keys on the right move the cursor to the left. One row for adding chars (Tab/Enter), the other for deleting chars (Del/Backspace).
I also think that a matrix layout is inherently flawed because it does not take into account the different size and position of the fingers. The physical layout should be somewhat curved like the TrulyErgonomic or have a symmetric stagger like the µTron.
I think also that there should be possible to swap the Control and Win/Apple keys in hardware or by programming -- because the Control under Windows and Linux has mostly the same function as the Apple key under MacOS.
BTW, rotate the thumb keys 30°.
Needs Dip switches.
Need spacebar on both sides. There is no consistency among typists as to which thumb hits space.
Lots of stuff going on. Like it.
I'd be tempted to flip the altgr and apple/win and space keys 90 degrees to make them easier to use with the thumbs (think maltron/kinesis) If you could find room for a shift (or even a fn key) in those blocks you could really make it easy to use the keys on the same hand). If you could get the fn key in that group, it'll be nice to see an embedded cursor set on rfst or neui.
I've always wanted to see dedicated copy & paste keys on a board - do you have room somewhere?

Back to the original point, I don't think you should use FN+Tab as NumLock, as that's the shortcut for CapsLock on the HHKB, so a lot of folks are already used to that. Also, FN+Backspace sends delete on the HHKB. You really shouldn't mess with people's muscle memory without reason. HHKB users have it in regards to the FN, most other folks don't need it. So satisfying those that already have it would be the best choice, I think.
Just to record, one of the thinkgs i like from the kbc poker is the space located behind the keyboard that will let us keep the usb cable safe and organized.Show Image(http://geekhack.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=16653&d=1301963514)
I'm pretty sure that case is still just a prototype and not for sale yet. The KBC Poker's case that will be coming with the group buy is just "flat".
