What an effing idiot.

BTW. Expect the price of petrol to rise 33%, and prices overall to rise 10%.

And all these people have died, or are going to die, because Netanyahu had been charged of corruption, (which he is guilty of, of course)

BTW. By "Big-Ass Enter", people more often mean the larger backwards-L key that is like the union of the ANSi and ISO Enter/return keys.

That is a proprietary layout, and unfortunately you will be hard pressed to find it elsewhere.

Keyboards / Re: Keyboard Cleaning
« Last post by jcoffin1981 on Sat, 21 June 2025, 22:35:40 »
Inevitably, keys get dirty. Especially if you eat or drink at the keyboard- who doesn't? 

As others have said, wiping with a damp cloth is enough most of the time.  For very minor residue I use Windex Multisurface, which contains a dilute lactic acid that removes food residue.   When that is not enough, I will take all of the keys off and clean in warm soapy water.  At the same time I take the opportunity to clean under the keycaps.

I've never seen this layout in the wild, only in photos.  May I ask where you reside?  That bigass enter key would really throw me off, but I guess you would just get use to it.

When I learned to type, I only used the left SHIFT key.  I wonder if I'm the only weirdo that does that?  I bet if you considered a 1.75u shift key that you would find more options.

Keyboards / Re: Durability of non original cherry switches
« Last post by jcoffin1981 on Sat, 21 June 2025, 22:05:10 »
I feel the durability of switches is a non-issue.  Whether a switch is rated for 10 million, 20 million, or 50 million actuations I really don't care.  I guess most switches nowadays are "cheap Chinese," but I most often use Khail, Gateron, or Cherry.  I RARELY have to replace a switch, and in fact it is more common for me to have to repair a solder joint instead than the switch.  If you are having issues with key chattering, I wonder if it's more of a problem with the firmware/controller in the keyboard than it is the switches themselves. 

Years ago I had an issue with a KBParadise V60, and I had so many of the switches chattering.  Sure I messed with the debounce interval, but ultimately it was a problem with the board itself instead of the actual switches.  I think they were Cherry switches, Cherry or Gateron.

I definitely recommend a dedicated soldering station     I've used the Weller WES51 for years and I think this is a better option than similar Chinese clones.  It is powerful and uses a standard compatible with many pencils and tips.  To be honest though I rarely use it now.  Most of the newer boards I get are Hot Swap, and really just because they had the features I want.  It is nice however not to have to de-solder a whole board if you want to change switches.

I have not had a good experience with standalone pencils and

Keyboards / Re: Looking for a new 60% keyboard
« Last post by jcoffin1981 on Sat, 21 June 2025, 21:43:12 »
Can I ask what your aversion to 65% is?  They are nearly identical, but include arrow keys and PGUP and PGDN keys.  I don't actually use arrow keys, but on reprogrammable  boards I will in another layer map arrow keys to I J K L.  I also agree with using CAPSLOCK as Fn key, and IMO this is the only place for Fn key.  If the board I want is only available in 65%, then I will buy that board.
