The caps lock key shouldn't exist. It doesn't need to be relocated to where the control or backspace is, it needs to be nuked from space and all mention of its former existence stricken from public record. If you are typing enough sequential uppercase characters that you can't comfortably hold down shift to do it, than you're probably typing like an *******. Don't type like an *******.
Also the tilde key is a pointless waste of keyboard real estate and the backspace should be where the backslash is on an ANSI keyboard.
Going to disagree here. The caps lock can be placed somewhere remote but should not be removed. It becomes tremendously useful when in game threads on /r/hockey where the rule for playoffs game threads is: OT = all caps, 2OT = bold caps, 3OT = bold italic caps. Loads of fun when you get into those situations (provided you aren't a fan of one of the teams involved, that is).
Agreed, although it could definitely just be put on another layer for specific cases like that. I sometimes use capslock for entering drawing designations (IE F1, F2, T1, T2, etc) and while I COULD use shift, capslock is just a touch faster.
Also for unpopular opinions: Universal plates look gross, and iso users are degenerates.
