Title: Question about ISO and ANSI layouts.
Post by: naokira on Fri, 26 April 2013, 13:27:35: So i wanted to have a big ass enter key and dont want to have a short left shift. Is that possible?
I mean, what do I have to change out, is it the plate?

Big-ass enter != ISO enter

Otherwise if you mean ISO enter and 2.25 right shift there are several Cherry POS G80 models with this like 8113, 8200.

I dont like the enter key of ss7g cause I don't have room anymore for the \ key, and I use it quite a lot so i definitely like the iso enter but I can't live on a short left shift.

Dilemmas dilemmas. :-[

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sat, 27 April 2013, 09:21:19: Universal plate I think would allow it. I don't roll with plate so might want to check that with WFD or one of the other guys.
