What's your Enter Key Preference? Big or Ansi or Iso?
_PixelNinja:
I prefer ANSI — ISO makes no sense to me.
Also, ANSI in my opinion has a more elegant look with it's sort-of-kind-of symmetrical alpha cluster. This is further accentuated when using bi-color keysets.
xondat:
ANSI because R2 1.5 backspace.
Originally switched to ANSI for keycaps, but that backspace is just so much more comfortable that it isn't worth switching back to ISO since options are better now.
MGMorden:
I strongly prefer ANSI. My first computer at home was a Commodore 128 which had it's own weird proprietary layout, and then after that I moved to a Packard Bell which had the Big-Enter. It wasn't until my 3rd computer that I got an ANSI keyboard but to me it makes much more sense. Particularly if you do a lot of Windows command line stuff and do a lot of backslashes, ANSI just puts that key in such a more convenient location, and I've never had any issues where the Enter key would need to be any bigger than it is in ANSI.
_haru:
ISO/JIS enter. I don't accidentally type \ when I want Enter that way.
Tom_Kazansky:
ANSI, I have been using it since forever and I'm using 1.5 Backspace so there is no switching to ISO Enter.
Big-Enter is a waste of space.
