Title: XT Layout on a modern keyboard
Post by: BigBrother on Sat, 02 April 2011, 01:55:27

I'm really loving the XT layout on my Model F. but I would like a newer keyboard (cherry MX) with this layout... and maybe an F11 and F12.

suggestions?

My suggestion: Cherry G80-2100, it has Cherry black switches, and two of the programmable 24 extra keys are even preprogrammed as F11 and F12.
It's not really a "newer" keyboard, though. I've been hacking on mine the last 20 years or so :-)
And I too would definitely never give up using those intuitive one-hand shortcuts.

Other possibilities include the Northgates and some of the Focus boards (2000+, 3001?, 5001?, 9000)
