Title: 60% split KB
Post by: DonnyD on Fri, 23 February 2018, 14:41:04

Doing split 60% KB, whats safest layout for split space bars compatibility ? Should I split it into 1.75 + 1.75 + 2.75 ; or somethin differently ? I know split spacebars are not very common in itself, but whats most common ?

Safest layout would have something like 2.25 +2.75 in the center. That way you can use spare shift keycaps. I like 1.75 myself, but they are honestly harder to source, unless you buy 40% compatibility kits every time.

So You saying to go with 2.25 + 2.75 + 1.25 and just change positions as I like ? If keycaps profile is XDA, DSA or G20, what would work really well !! Thanks for advice !!!

Yes, that's what I would do. :)
