lawliett 77 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I read Fxtec was accepting suggestions for new keyboard layouts. Has anyone suggested a blank keyboard layout? That way you can remap keys however you want without having to worry about letters matching up And you don't have to worry about letters fading over time 1 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Longcat 34 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I like the originality! However, I myself haven't been able to do proper touch typing on the QWERTY variant, with the keys being so small, meaning that every so often, I look back at the keyboard to check whether I'm about to press the right key. That's going to be extremely difficult if you can't check to see which key is which. Furthermore, getting the feel for a new keyboard layout always starts out slowly, so I wonder if you could even learn the positions of the keys you decide to map manually at all, with such a tough start. Also, you'd lose the backlight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That is perfect for me, a blank keyboard would be much worse and also I have backlight which is a good feature. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But tbh it would have been a bit of a struggle to get used to it initially. Especially with the shifted layout. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
