Title: Keyboards with all the worst button shapes...
Post by: Pixel_Outlaw on Sun, 09 January 2011, 16:34:24

Just out of curosity, is there a keyboard that features all of the buttons shapes people tend to hate all in one hellish package? I'm talking single key length backspace key, upside down L enter key ect? It might be worth collecting just to try to get used to for something new.

Anyone have any keyboards that they never use because of the key shapes?

Single size backspace is a killer for me, I have a couple domes with that and they see no use.

Non-AT Model Fs and their hat keys. Sometimes super long.

I mean look at that * key on the bottom right corner. It's 3 keys wide (or tall rather), but the real key area is only 1 key, and if it's anything like my 5291-2 F, it ain't stabilized at all.

I also despise single-sized backspace. I hit most of the extended keys (shift, backspace, enter) on the edge, so I don't think I'll do ISO too well either.
