« Last post by Alexrouber on Thu, 23 April 2026, 19:00:15 »Your 40s kit is missing two of the most commonly used keys. R2 1.75u backspace and R3 1.5u enter. For all minivans, V4Ns and similar.
I previously designed a full 40% kit, but the cost was too high and unaffordable for most buyers. After discussing with the Chinese community, I adjusted it to the current version to keep pricing reasonable.
I think for the western market just adding those two keys would be a good compromise. I appreciate its a difficult balance between cost and compatibility.
I will adjust the 40KIT. Thank you for your suggestion

Interest Checks / Re: [IC] MTNU A History of Violets (A History of Violets R2)
« Last post by dvorcol on Thu, 23 April 2026, 18:05:26 »Just curious, does anyone know why the Return key is on the right-hand side of the keyboard when the mechanical carriage return lever is on the left? No objection, just wondering about the original reason.
I don't know myself, but I wonder if the answer lies somewhere in the Shift Happens book.
Oops, my bad. TIL Shift Happens is a comprehensive, multi-volume book by Marcin Wichary.

« Last post by TheSoulhunter on Thu, 23 April 2026, 15:30:10 »Thoughts on Steam Machine?
I think it could revolutionize transportation and industrial production...
But I fear it will threaten the horse-carriage industry and skilled manual labor
Serious mode ON
A small black box that can play PC games, but has the convenience of a console, and a price somewhere in between? Great!
