Browsing through GH and other keyboard sites it seems to me that two things usually apply:
- The boards discussed are mostly tenkeyless
- The boards have an ANSI keyboard layout
Searching for a new keyboard I am not sure what to think of the TKL boards. Though they look nice I use the numpad quite often in some of my apps.
But I am more concerned of the ANSI layout (as I've tried it and I constantly end up pressing the "Ž" instead of the return key).
Therefore I believe it would be best to start off with a 105-key EU mechanical keyboard with MX browns. I tried an MX brown keyboard (Logitech g710) in a store and the feel was really good.
But so far it looks to me that the choice for a 105-key EU board is only the Filco Majestouch 2 in EU layout. Does anyone know of any alternatives?
Furthermore, I'd like to have a keyboard in my native layout - with mechanical keyboards exchanging the layout with the caps should be easy. Still I need to find Croatian/Slovenian keycaps, though. In that respect, will all caps for a certain layout fit on all MX keyboards well? (e.g. how "standard" their dimensons are?)
Appreciate any feedback as the mechanical keyboard world is still a bit new to me
