Title: The backspace key is in the wrong place
Post by: exia on Mon, 26 July 2010, 10:54:38
Why is that? The HHKP2 would be such a PERFECT keyboard if it were not for the wrong placement of the backspace key. Is there a way to fix it?

Who said it was wrong?  And no, there is no way to change it.  Give it about 5-10 min.  I think you might like it in that spot anyway.

Oh you finally bought one?

And no, the BS in that area is just nice as it doesn't stress the pinky that much compared to standard layouts.

Fine, I'll raise my offer to five SK 8115s. It's not worth my time beyond that.

But what is "wrong"? I think I need to get Welly in here so we can have a debate about layout relativism.

That's right, I forgot.  I totally bought into the troll bait.  Well, not really, but I did waste a post on him.
