Title: Two MX reds for the price of one: abusing fullzise keyboards!
Post by: oneproduct on Sun, 04 December 2011, 23:44:03

EDIT: D'oh, this should be in the modifications subforum...

Just got a fullsize Cherry keyboard with PCB mounted red switches and decided to take advantage of the extra red switches. I wanted to switch the alpha/symbol keys of my Poker so I needed to take 33 switches.

Poker = 61 keys
Tenkeyless = 87 keys

So by taking the keys around the main cluster I get 26 keys which already covers the alphabet. Then I needed to take 7 more from the numpad which lets me leave all 10 numbers with reds! So the Cherry gets to keep reds in the main cluster and on the numbers on the numpad. :)

That's some crafty awesomeness.

Love the spacebar on the poker btw.
