The ISO keyboard is unfortunately a true bummer. I hate that layout with a passion and would gladly pay extra to have an ANSI layout keyboard (the one with the flat Enter and the backslash above it) and even install it myself if it's feasible.
- squarefoot 7y agoAnd IMO that on/off button as part of the keyboard is so stupid: I've used a cheap Asus laptop with the same arrangement and it was a painful experience. Just why? To save half a fraction of a buck perhaps? Then bill me the cost for a proper keyboard and I'll be glad to pay more for it. The on/off button belongs to an area where the user cannot hit it by mistake, and the writing surface can't be that place.
- rjsw 7y agoI have never hit the power button by mistake, you have to hold it down for a while anyway.
- HeWhoLurksLate 7y agoPersonally, I prefer ISO- the Big Enter bothers me because it removes one spot that my pinky could be pushing buttons from, and so feels less efficient. Mind you, when programming, I touch type with my right hand translated over a row- so instead of [J][K][L][;] it'd be [K][L][;]['] and my pinky is just all over the place. I do see why people like ANSI, but it's probably just a nature / nurture thing.
