Title: Windows Key Size Confirmation
Post by: Snoogle on Fri, 28 January 2011, 22:34:06

So I'm on a Mac, and not about to relearn my option/positioning for a windows keyboard layout. I'm just gonna flip them around under my keyboard preferences. Probably going to use the non printed bubble key link (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,cherrymxkeys&pid=maj_winbn)

On the Leopold model that elitekeyboards will eventually stock, will the windows key and alt key be the same size? So I can swap them?

They will be. The alt key is 1.5 regular keys wide, the same as a Windows key. This sadly means your spacebar becomes smaller. :(
But yes. they'll be fully swappable, like on Filcos, for that matter.

Thank you for the quick reply. Would kill for an apple key replacement.

I jump on the Filcos bandwagon, if there were easily accessible to me.
