Title: Hello :D
Post by: doub on Sat, 12 October 2013, 12:57:29

Hi,

I'm in the process of changing my keyboard, and I just found your website. I'm a programmer, and kind of type a lot, but kind of don't type much for a programmer (I like to keep my code short).

Keyboard-wise, I'm not too interested in key logical layout (I'm used to the french Azerty and I'm fine with it) or the mechanical feel (I tend to prefer thin keys, but I can live with regular height keys). What I'm a bit pick about, is the physical layout of the keys. I need my full width (with direction keys and full keypad), and a double-height main Return key.

But I've grown to hate the standard staggered layout of the main keyboard area, and it's my main reason to be here. I'm looking for a keyboard with a typical overall 105 key layout, but with aligned letter key rows. I'm having a hard time find any, and I'm starting to consider making my own (I do some electronics in addition to programming). Any suggestions in this area are welcome :D

Doub.

Welcome and please post your question in the main keyboard forum.  You'll probably get more replies there.  :)
