What is up with all the Windows key hate? I'm hoping that one reply in the MD discussion is a troll post, but I see people saying it seriously that having a Windows key ruins a keyset elsewhere. Like, I seriously don't get it. I have never accidentally hit it while gaming, and it serves a rather useful function on the huge number of windows computers, which still dominate marketshare.
I mean, Win 8 logo is a turnoff for me because it's hideously ugly, but the older style curved one looks fine, and keys that say 'Win' don't even have the logo. And I wouldn't not get a set I really liked just because it had Win8 logo win keys.
I just don't get it. I use the Win key several times a day because it's faster to type win+r and then calc or notepad or wordpad than go menu digging for them, or win+e to bring up windows explorer, or win+d to get to the desktop. Running the calculator especially since I can bring that up and use it without ever touching the mouse.
Personally I think the Win 7 logos on these look nice.
And yeah profile difference between bottom row of main section and arrows/numpad doesn't bother me. I'm moving my hand to a completely different section of the board anyway, I'm not even going to *notice* this.
...Hmm, not that I plan to get one of those lightsaver/red scarf type things, but I think I'd actually like a profile difference between mods and the bottom row of the numpad, keep me from accidentally hitting ctrl or 0 when going for the other, I'd think, since there's no gap to tell you you've switched.
I just don't get people.
Like, all the whining about the ISO layout. People whine constantly on MD about there never being ISO sets, and when one goes up, they whine that it's not their own specific tiny subset only used in their country and a couple others. -_-
Ooh ooh let me try: Whine, there's no 6u spacebar, I can't put this on my Monoprice or Hacker layout Infinity.
Yeah, yeah, I know, I just made a post whining about people whining. ;P
