big-ass enter?

[pixelpusher]

Does anyone know of a modern PCB that would support ansi layout that uses the big enter key (the one that looks like an ISO enter but it's a backwards L)?

Also, I haven't been able to find a keycap manufacturer who still makes a keycap this shape.  Any ideas?  Other than salvaging old parts?

I have this in a set from Maxkeyboards but buyin a set for usin 1 keycap, I don't think so.

One problem with "Big-ass Enter" keys is that unlike other keys, the arrangement of the stabiliser(s) is not entirely standardized.

Max Keyboards, Gateron and Tai-Hao have keycaps that look as if they are compatible with Steelseries' keyboards. Those have stabilisers like ANSI Enter keys and a long peg in the middle of where a 1.5u Backslash key would be.
The lower part of the keycap should be compatible with an ANSI keyboard... but I think that the peg is too wide to fit inside the drill hole in the PCB for the Backslash key's switch. The best solution would probably be to mod it: cut it short, sand it to the exact size and then cut a cross in it to accept a Cherry MX switch.

BTW. Cherry itself has made "Big-ass" backwards-L Enter keys but those have had the stabiliser bar on the vertical - in the middle of the 1.5×2 rectangle. They are not compatible with either ANSI or ISO.

There is this board if you wanted big ass brand new or something:

oh, nice.  I've never seen that steelseries board.  Of course it's full size   boo

not to mention that right shift. very odd

What the what?  I didnt even see that.  I thought the big enter split delete into backslash and delete both 1x1.  That's odd indeed
