Title: Mechanical CTRL key layout
Post by: wkdsog on Thu, 27 January 2011, 07:41:39

i'm looking to buy a mechanical keyboard that has the right CTRL key positioned a little closer under the left side of the right shift key. has anyone seen anything like that? i game left handed and having ctrl spaced under shift is a thousand times more comfortable to me, especially in RTS.

Razer Tarantula and Logitech Basic is what i have used in the past and has the layout i like.

Cherry G80-1800 (http://global.pchome.com.tw/?mod=item&func=exhibit&IT_NO=DCAH21-A53511797&SR_NO=DCAH21&ROWNO=8&tm=u) is your best bet, but they're pricey.  PCHome has $10 worldwide shipping, IIRC, but you can the item to the basket to see what it will be to your home.

EDIT:  The Noppoo Choc Mini would work, too.  It's not available from PCHome; you would have to buy it from Taobao through OBook.
