Keyboards with closer than normal F-row?
« on: Thu, 19 July 2012, 12:47:29 »
Hi there,

Looking for a mechanical keyboard in which the F-row is a close as possible to the number row, because I use ctrl+fkeys a lot at work and it would be more comfortable without stretching.

Someone suggested the Noppoo choc mini last time. I got some email alerts saying that this thread had 5 more replies, however the site was done before I could check :(

Sorry to post this again but I can't seem to find the orginal thread, perhaps it was lost.

Thanks again.

This is one of the few things a legacy model-F layout is good for: the Fx-keys are all next to the Ctrl key.

I would recommend to use a Teensy + Soarer's USB converter though,  this way you can program an Fn-key to get F11/F12 and other keys back.

Definitely an 80% keyboard like the KBT Race or Choc Mini, the function row is right above the number row: http://cdn.overclock.net/a/af/af41a9c1_IMG_1068.jpeg  8)

Thanks guys, I will look into those. I looked up the KBT race, and am I right to think that they do not have a numpad, unlike the choc mini which has one on a different layer?
