Not observant myself, but best wishes to those of the faith. My first ever hand-wired keyboard was a Planck with an extra column.

    I’ve bought the elvish keycaps myself and I find your Planck so damn elegant. Where did you buy it?

    Wow, some people will just not hear about living without their ISO enter, huh? 😉

      Even though I didn’t quite fall in love with the general idea of ortho, I’m still pretty pleased with myself. Bigger enter, proper arrow keys, and no missing punctuation. Good compromise for a bit of extra pinky movement, and no reason you couldn’t just map it out as a as normal Planck with a trio of media keys or macros.

          There are people who daily the real thing, with 47 or 48 keys. I couldn’t do it, even with this one visually preserving more of the “standard” layout. Turned out I liked building boards more than learning to use them.

    Can’t do these. For me, it’s 100% or nothing. I need my numpad and spacing around the arrow keys.

    Were key-board ergonomics not invented until the 90’s or something? A perfect grid for the key’s is a nightmare to actually type on or use. This was figured out during the type-writer heyday.
