I don’t know who invented the ISO keyboard layout but ruining the left shift key and the enter key are unforgivable crimes And tilde next to z? Who likes this??

    I have illustrated my very biased opinions but the jury should show that they are correct 🫡 (I jest. I am well aware this is one of the most American things about me. But I can’t help it)

    @hazelweakly on the plus side, you get to say “toetsenbord” now, right? For some reason that word always makes me giggle

    @hazelweakly I still have 2 laptops I wish I could do a keyboard swap on. But they are Apple so I doubt that is easy. (They are gifts I think, because I'd always order ANSI-International)

    @hazelweakly do not check what the AZERTY keyboard looks like. This is pure sadism.

    @hazelweakly I love having the big enter key! I mean a proper big enter key, not like the skinny one Apple does.

    @hazelweakly my biggest complaint is laptops defaulting the f keys to things I don't use, I find I use the f keys quite alot

    @hazelweakly The only thing I care about in a keyboard (well, almost) is the number and location of the keys. Everything else can be remapped. I really miss the key on the lower left on my ANSI Kinesis Freestyle 2, and the backslash key is too far away for my right pinky. Unfortunately, they don't have an ISO version.

  • @hazelweakly The return key on the ISO keyboard is correct, sorry nobody told you about that during the immigration process. Your other complaints are valid.
