Title: Will there ever be...
Post by: Zamorph on Sat, 23 April 2011, 13:36:35

A Leo or filco keyboard with media keys/calc.... like as shown with the ducky here

I like the ducky layout.. but alas I want a leo/filco or even a tenkeyless model ^.^

Am I asking too much? Am I better off just buying the ducky?  I hate using autohotkey xD

Yeah, I personally just like the calc key.  Autohotkey angers me cuz it bugges out in a lot of my video gaming ~.~

Politicians will tell you there never is a never.

I use Win+F1, F2,F3 Mac style Autohotkey to do it or my handy dandy Griffin Powermate.

The INTERNET and MAIL keys are for weenies anyway.

Frankly a media key in second function is almost useless, volumouse is a way better option when the keyboards are lacking the media keys, or the volume knob.

I love the design of Filco. Plain, classic, simple, but elegant.
But yes, media keys would be awesome. But they should really designing it well. Blending media keys to classical design yet making it look simple and elegant.
I would love to have some volume control keys. I was hoping they include that in Majestouch 2. That would have really made it 2. USB ports would be nice on the back.

No but seriously, I wouldn't go for Ducky for the sake of the Calc media key. Chances are you will LIVE without it.
That is not to say ducky is bad, its just unless u are very limited in budget, Ducky 1000 series shouldn't be your first choice.
