Spot the mistake

Is this a known issue with Compaq (and also Cherry?) G80-11800/11801 boards? It's really rather irritating...

The keys are laid out then lasered for the printing so I don't think it's unheard of for something like that to happen.

Er no, that's the way God intended... As J. Q. no doubt discerned correctly, what worries me is the tactile bump on the K key instead of J.

This is some foreign layout and I'm not sure what it's called.  You can see the A and the O with the two dots over it.
The bumps may be correct for the home row for that board.

So the only actual mistake i see is the home row dot is on the wrong key (k instead of J)? is that what you mean?

edit: i see you mentioned it already. yeah thats definitely irritating.

I don't have this keyboard any more:



The eejits put two backslashes on the same keyboard, one on each side. The trouble is, one of them is where a PC has backslash, so I'd press what I thought was \ (in fact, `), get `, look down at the keyboard to wonder what I did wrong, and see a key that really does say \ — so why is it typing `? Oh right, I need the other \ key.

Since I was switching between Mac OS and Windows, it drove me mad having the key mislabelled, so (as you can see) I carved out half of \ with a knife to make it vaguely resemble what that key does in Mac OS. That was the NMB version, with the screw-up.

It's just a QWERTZ keyboard?

Probably German, but i don't know enough about QWERTZ to tell you specifically, German is just the most common one that I know of.

It's the normal German QWERTZ layout, but the home-row mark is on K rather than J, as it normally is—e.g.:

it is just an normal Geman board (probably an cherry, guessing LRNDE) - so its ISO-DE, lasered caps.

There is a dot on the K key when it should have been on the J key. That took me a while to spot, because I usually don't care about them.

BTW, it is believed that if a Cherry G80-11800 has homing dots instead of homing bars then the keycaps should be thick PBT. Is this true for this keyboard?

Yes, they do indeed look extra thick, just like the person was who is responsible for putting the tactile bump on the wrong keycap!

LOL. It couldn't have been intentional; different fingers would be on the marks. It makes no sense. Then again, Donald Trump just became president, so sense-making may be a thing of the past  :?O
