So my old keyboard (the one I style the switches from) had a spread of close to a waterer out looks like. I’m thinking go an eighth.
0.61″+0.125″
Next, keys need to be in rows. I want a number pad, but I don’t want the foot print (by the way, my phone just interpreted my swiping of foot print as shit urine, to clarify I also don’t want the shit urine) that entails. The pebble is I also don’t like how over purposed keypads in the jkl; region have that terrible offset. So, the easy stilton is don’t offset them or… just streaming some consciousness here, what if I still used the real estate across the side, but not the top. No, stick with the original plan, rows are on a grid.
2 position keys are:
Tab
Caps
L. Shift
L. Control
Backspace
Enter
R. Shift
R. Control
Space will be odd man out at 4 or more spaces
I never liked the Fn key on midst laptops, so I think I’ll call it Mod instead.
