the row 1 functions set have the highest value...with more keys in a cheaper price comparing with the row 3 set below...

thx ray, i know about this

just wanna know if it looks really bad when all the keys are SA row 1 :'(
cuz i think they are only designed to be on the highest row....

from the keycaps i got i think its ok for a few row 3 caps to be stuck in a matrix
but i fear that it looks bad on row 1 caps

All row 3 would be better - a more uniform surface, kinda like DSA.

If the upper surface of SA are as angled as that image, it would be somewhat uncomfortable to type on.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
