would like to make the layout like this.
two types of PCB with different mod keys, and with the same case.
all come with split backspace.
Thanks for keeping Option A.
May I ask once more for some space before the arrows? I guess I can solve it myself by omitting the control_right. I’d prefer to feel a distinct left edge with my index finger.
space before the arrows in a 660-layout is a little strange IMO.
Yeah at first it is weird. I think it will make for a better typing experience though.
Maybe it’s fine for a 60% kb or smaller, but for such a lovely layout like this one, it needs these small details.
It is roughly the same gap as the far left (between the control_left and the F-keys). And it’s a similar gap to my tenkeyless (which would make a comfortable transition for other buyers too).
I like the modifier placement which we’ve settled on, but this is almost a deal breaker. Please prototype it for yourself and see.

I’m pleading my case because it’s my own strong preference. But there are other buyers who might think otherwise. Is there anyone else that feels strongly about having the arrows flush against the right_control?
The other thing to consider is that you wanted to use the same case for both PCBs… which means I need to convince *everyone* that the gap is a must have (which it totally is
). That would leave you with the R1 of:
Left: |1.25|1.25|1.25| 2.25 | 1 |
Right: | 2.5 |1.25|1.25|1.25| |arrows
Right: | 2.75 |1.25|1.25| 1 | |arrows
Right: | 2.75 |1.25| 1 |1.25| |arrows
First option might be too difficult to get spacebars for?
But what does everyone think?
