Quick question about keyboard layout
« on: Sun, 12 July 2009, 09:08:32 »
I was looking to buy the 87u. I see that keys are rated at 35g,45g,55g. I was leaning on something that was much lighter. So I saw the 91ubk from the Topre site but it has this Japanese layout. So if I was to buy that keyboard and plug it into my computer, would it work the same like typing on the default English Layout?

I keep looking at the 91U and thinking I might like to try one. Mainly for the extra keys that I can remap. The only worry I have is the space bar. One other member has the 91U and stated that it was not a problem. But still if you do decide to get one let us know what you think of the layout and if the space bar is a issue for you.

I can't remember who it was on here, but they ended up letting go of their 91u for like $100
