Really? A switch to ANSI? Is this actually an ergonomic thing, or for the sake of a broader set of options in caps, etc? I never could understand the purpose of the ISO layout myself. It also seems to me though that we may have stuck with the big ass enter keys and made everybody happy, however.
I see a lot of positive things with switching to ANSI. For starters I work mostly in English, and it can go weeks working on my desktop before I write in Swedish (and need å, ä, and ö). Most conversations in my native language is by phone. So by switching to ANSI, it is easier to write in English, which I do most often. Further, I work with programming and the []{} keys are semi awkward on ISO. So I believe that ANSI is better for all situations, as long as you don't need another alphabet! I will still have my ISO keyboards, and use them for when I need to write in Swedish.
I'm not a fan of USB type C myself though. I work as a tech in schools and I have seen enough of those fail already in the first year of having them on teacher and student laptops to say I'll be staying away from them when I can.
Hmm, that is very interesting! I only use USB-C for my phone, my keyboards have had mini or micro USB. I like mini usb, but micro is also too prone to break.
If you're considering that PCB pretty seriously, I would ask about it in the keyboards section of this forum. I don't plan on doing a lot of the LEGO thing myself, and there are people with a lot of experience with it, and even in designing PCBS who are more likely to see it there and hopefully weigh in on it for you.
I actually already ordered 2 of those in the Decent 65 GB (one with the board + extra pcb/plate), but I'm sure it will turn out perfectly!
The only project I consider buying another pcb for, is: I have an Vortex Race3 that I don't use, and I want to desolder it change switches, and build a wooden case for it. But I don't really like tht pcb, micro-usb and too few stabs. But, I'll have to think about that.
