Good Morning GH,

I'm really keen on getting a uk Filco tenkeyless brown switch kb. I want the keyboard to be UK layout one reason being, I'm use to the @ being near the enter key. However, my one issue with ISO is the short shift key. Does some sort of hybrid kb layout exist for the Filco?

Thanks,

P

No. Besides, if such a thing existed, you'd have to accomodate the \| key in some other place, which would be messy.

Id suggest getting the ANSI board, and making a custom key mapping on the OS, or even just getting used to the location of @

I switched to ANSI (UK person here) and much prefer it for general typing and gaming. There's not a whole lot of difference and you'll get used to it really fast.

Look at 6gv2, it has a big enter, big backspace and big left shift, swap the keycaps with an UK set (or with the UK stickers), and map the 105th key to alt gr+something

The closest I could find is a UK layout tenkeyless with blues. You could try PMing them and ask whether they'll get in ones with browns any time soon.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D
