I keep looking at these, but that Return is just hideous.

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yes, the Enter (AKA Return) is somewhat artsy-craftsy, as my wife would say. But the whole thing's a fantasy, a stylized-retro thing... So I just consider it part of the creative design.

And they certainly aren't the only Carbon set with that feature.

Sorry, Row, didn't see your post. Maybe you're better at understanding Chinglish than me—what the heck does that mean?

BTW, the 104 set has been bumped up a dollar. At $25.99 shipped, tho, it still seems like an awesome deal.

Think it means the Splash (|\) key (above Enter) is now gray, same as the Tab key

(improvement as far as I'm concerned)
