- starbugs 7y agoMac keyboard user here. I considered this one a while ago, but the fact that it doesn't have an ESC key and also no function key row still holds me off. What's your experience with that?
- random42_ 7y agoI had the same questions before I got a mechanical keyboard without the F row and an ESC key but I got around that pretty quickly. Using the number row with the Fn key for the functions is not bad and I was able to remap the CAPS LOCK key to be my ESC. Works pretty well for me and I was back to pre-mk productivity levels in a short time.

The mouse layer on the UHK is incredible and I find I try to use it all the time on other keyboards which obviously don't have it. Also function keys and escape haven't been as big a problem as I thought they would. Your brain just adapts quickly. One thing is that I do have trouble getting used to split mode because the halves move around slightly and my muscle memory doesn't know exactly where keys are. I tend to leave the halves together.
