North facing RGB really helps out the night-owl low-light freestyle typists that have to type in the dark / at night but still want to enjoy the hobby. I like north-facing rgb PCBs, and think that south-facing (while certainly beneficial for the typical high end build ) is largely overrated. Was gonna make a post about my own unpopular opinion: Terminology gets thrown around out the wazoo and people misuse words all the time: gasket used to refer to isolation of the plate from the case by the dampener material but now its a catch all for "soft and bouncy typing experience"ĭang man beat me to the punch. sure, denser metals affect the sound but you're not staring at the underside of your keyboard while you type are you? Weights are the most unnecessary thing about a keyboard: all it does is add additional cost and processing time that then gets passed down to you for no additional typing experience benefit. on tactiles it just interferes with the feeling of the actual bump notice how most of the keyboards that are plateless/bouncy tend to have linears? bounce or more accurately vibration transfer provides that subconscious feedback that a key has been struck which linears don't give. Linears are bad for your typing ergonomics because you have absolutely no feedback other than force applied. not saying that they're bad changes (like going to top mount vs tray mount) but you'd be surprised at how differences between plates disappear if you can select a switch that successfully prevents you from bottoming out harshly But we do get useless keys like Pause/Break, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Menu, and of course the dreaded Windows™ Logo key instead of Super/Code/Command (any one of which would be more acceptable than "Win").Ī ton of innovations in board design have inadvertently been influenced by bad typing form, aka bottoming out all the time. Can any keycap set include a dedicated, printed Compose key? Compose is legit useful, and yet we never see it on a printed keycap. It fits into the same space as a common 6¼u spacebar, you can make the left key your Backspace, and that center key is the best place in the world for Fn.Īnother gripe. Split spacebar all the keyboards, not just 40%. Why? What happened to trying to invent something better? I'm annoyed by people producing all sorts of custom boards and even hand-wired boards and making them bog-standard layouts that they could have just got in a kit. Not because I agree with you exactly, but at least you are thinking about key layout.
