Feedback on the R5 / open question to 40% users. How will R5 be on a 40%? My first thought was "that's going to hurt your thumbs like a mad man". I'm no experienced 40% user so I'm not the right person to have an opinion about this, just something I'm wondering and putting on the table.
I welcome R5 on a planck, as long as the thumb keys are R4C. Unfortunately, the Raise/Lower keys won't be, but I'll be using the following for spacebar anyway, which mitigates the problem for me:
1u R4C + 2u R4C + 2u R4C +1u R4C
I'll be suggesting an additional pair of 1u R4C keys for the Obscure kit, for users who prefer grid-layout.
EDIT: Ok, I just realized that the Obscure kit also has only one 2u R4C key. That's not great either... :/ The previous 9009 ortho kits actually came with 6x 1u R4C and 3x 2u R4C keys.
