Any full key spacing Cherry ML keyboard out there?
« on: Wed, 28 August 2013, 22:34:07 »
So I've been playing around with Cherry G84-4100 and I find the switch is not as bad as some people claimed.  I kind of like the switch, it's like MX Brown short throw.

BUT the problem is, I use number pad and window key a lot (this keyboard actually doesn't have window key at all) so the layout just doesn't work for me.

On top of that I think it's meant to be a compact keyboard so the keys are actually smaller than regular sized keys.  Typing on it feels a bit crammed.

Anyone know if there's any full size and regular spacing Cherry ML keyboard out there?

The Optimus Maximus has should have regular spacing. However there are a few smaller keys, such as the backspace, back slash, shift keys.

Check out this post here man: http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=6711.msg107278#msg107278

Ohhhhhh I did a search earlier and didn't see that one.  But cool thanks dude !

EDIT:  Actually I just took a look, they all seems to have small spacing and kind of semi compact layout.  I'm guessing the G84 line is meant for smaller keyboards.  :(

LOL I also don't want to spend $1000 or something like that.

This looks pretty sexy.

That one look like it might have tiny spacing also, though I could be wrong.  :P

Maybe grab one of the ML Dolch flexpac keyboards? It's one of the few ML models that use a normal ANSI layout with all usual keysizes. For ISO there are a couple cool Tandberg models with awesome spherical keycaps that you might be interested in.
