That is the worst keyboard layout i have ever seen. Bravo.

A real Geek only need this one

Oh, sorry, I had the image since a lot of years. The world is small

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I'm just glad to see someone appreciating it 😁

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

you got way too many keys you can just type with one button and one button (hold)

[–] purplemonkeymad 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That requires more circuitry. Just have the computer check every 0.25s, and if you have depressed the button it is a 1, else a 0.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

the only problem this has is there's no way to telling the pc to stop inputting keys

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear, executed a perfect BLJ.

The complete lack of A is concerning.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Or a space key.

But you get two Fn keys next to each other, so it's got that going for it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You have a backspace.
To do a space you need to press CTRL + Backspace to do a space.
Duh...

Outside of work, A was part of a Labor Union, a Marxist gathering and an Anarchist bookclub.
So he was let go.

I and N were allowed to stay cause they were the ones who ratted on A.

Can still beat Mario64 on Wii VC version.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I imagine a single press of shift probably types A

Z on the other hand

Also why have a caps lock on a keyboard like this the only time I've ever touched it is for keybinds or by accident

literally 40 keys AND YOU STILL INCLUDE THE USELESS CAPS LOCK KEY

Mmmmmm delicious irony.

Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you'd find in a corporate office.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost.

That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks like a knockoff to me. Look at the "Backspace" lettering up close for example.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

You’re right. No shame there, but definitely knocks a $100 or more off the price.

Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts about to spend 1500$ on a keyboard missing over half it's keys

[–] [email protected] 66 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

Shift is A, Caps Lock is Z, Control & Backspace is spacebar.

Don't ask me why, I just searched the image and found the reddit thread that this post is riffing from and got my answers

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago (12 children)

bruh why would they make spacebar a two key combo. That is literally the most used key

[–] [email protected] 47 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Even though I told you don't ask me why.. you're asking me why. But I'm a good donut so I went back:

They dont have to press BOTH keys to press space, they just didnt have a spacebar key that is the correct size to fit, so they put those 2 random keys on instead until they get a permanent keycap set that all fits.

Two Alt keys and no space bar?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Can I have Sauce? Because it look like [email protected] material right there.

You couldn't have written this on that keyboard. That keyboard has no a (or z).

But wait!
This keyboard has 45 keys and not 100 like most normal keyboards, so they cut 55%!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Normal is 104/105. So 57%.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At least you still can press Alt+F4
