Title: Looking for a TLK board with an extra escape key
Post by: sweeney on Sun, 22 December 2019, 23:57:34
Hiya, I ran across a TLK board a couple of days ago that had an extra key to the right of the F12. I cannot for the life of me find it again. Sound familiar to anyone?

The extra key was here:

Awesome, thank you. Does this configuration have a name?

Can anybody else think of any?

Another board to add to that list is the E8.5 (linked below). All of the boards mentioned by Sifo are relatively difficult to come across.

DK Saver is the *first* custom board ever made (like 8 years ago?) so they're very hard to come by

KFE was a private "friends and family" group buy that was followed by an extremely limited raffle/auction sale. (5 aluminum and 5 polycarbonate I think, or something along those lines)

Jane V2 CE has barely made it into peoples hands and you can expect to pay $1800+ for one of those aftermarket

The E8.5 will be something that, once it hits the resale market, is much more affordable, as it wasn't a group buy limited by its numbers and was actually open for 2+ weeks to order.

Thanks for the context!
