Title: Layout on a White Fox
Post by: garage_logician on Mon, 25 July 2016, 16:42:14

I am jumping on the White Fox drop at MD and need to select a layout.  I am leaning towards the Aria, or maybe the True Fox layout.   Any pros or cons with either one of those?

Thanks!

I would be curious also. Looks like a nice keyboard.....I just hate waiting for things.

I'm going with True Fox because as far as I can tell it's the closest to HHKB.  Unfortunately it will be more difficult to get the correct keycaps if/when I want to make it pretty.... but I'll actually be using it.

Aria means you'll only have to find a 1.75u shift, whereas True Fox has more keys but it will be harder to find caps for (only ever so slightly though). It depends which you prefer the most. Both are decent layouts however, personally, I'd prefer True Fox.
