Just got my MSI 274Q - replaced the 272Q I had for 24hrs before it's firmware bug (stuck in OLED care 2.0 loop).  OLED is life now, love it.

I don't know myself, but I wonder if the answer lies somewhere in the Shift Happens book.

I haven’t finished it yet but what I’ve read so far implies that a few things converged. The first electric carriage returns added a motor on the right-hand side that pulled the return lever mechanism. The bottoms to operate it were near the motor. The first mechanical typewriters with integrated electric returns also put the button on the right. A bit later, for reasons I haven’t gotten to, early postwar teletype innovations added line feed and carriage return buttons, also to the right. And by about 100  from where I’m at, all the first electric typewriters are putting the CR buttons… on the right.

So unless Filco (or diatech, I guess) goes out of business, I have little reason to try anything new...

Time to try something new...

Shouldn't General Base Green "CAILB Z" be "CALIB Z"?  And "CAILB XY"?

Oh no... :(
My second mechanical keyboard was Filco TKL.
I recently modded one and resoldered switches to Oil Kings, pcb taped, cable USB-C big tale. Fantastic keyboard.
