Larger Alt key?
« on: Mon, 25 April 2011, 16:30:12 »
Hey guys

Just got my new filco cherry brown keyboard for work and i noticed a subtle difference than the piece of crap keyboard work supplied. The alt keys are closer to the centre which for most people is hardly a problem but in my field my thumb is constantly on the alt key. I'm sure i'll get used to it but just wondering if there are any alternate keycaps i can buy to help?

It seems like looking at both keyboards the control keys are smaller on the filco which makes for a larger space bar.

Thanks!
-Phil

Depending on where you work, mapping windows to alt could be a option.

Thanks dusii! But that won't solve my problem and i don't think i was very clear in my post. Really should post up some pics but don't have the means to right now.

It's more that i want to move the left alt key to the right a little more. Probably means the layout is a little different to what i'm used to
