Ctrl and arrows = normal 1.25x modifiers

The sadist and hardest part is their weird R5 height and also especially the 1.5x modifiers' Esc and Del.

esc is 1.5, backspace 1.5, right ctrl 1 unit, right shift 1.25, arrows 1.25, end 1.25 everything else appears to be normal.
Lots of old terminal boards have 1.5 esc and backspace, so not impossible to get some cool doubleshots for those.

I fixed my post. The Esc and Del should be 1.5x.
Just recalculated it(16 - 13keys) and the answer give the 3 for the 2 keys, which mean 1.5x each.

What is R5? I wish everyone would follow the long established (at least since mid 80's) row numbering, 112344 top down. If a row has the same profile as another row (function and numeric both R1, shift and ctrl rows both R4), it does not get a different number.
I'll just assume you were asking where to find the 1.5 esc and backspace. I have had a few non branded terminal boards with them and a couple Wyse / Reynolds / Link, and also I currently own a G80-499 that has them. The terminal ones are not that hard to find, and often cheap on ebay or from electronics recyclers. Good luck on the vintage Cherry models.

I am serious with the R5 part. Afaik, kbt use R5 on their f-keys as they claim that such way is more ergonomic.
