It's not everyday I see ISO standard mechanical keyboard on the Internet. I love the fat enter key.
I think this is the first time I've seen ISO with a US (or UK?) layout.
US layout is ANSI (long horizontal enter key). This is a UK ISO keyboard, though this one isn't standardised (see where the control key is placed).
I really dislike the fact that, in Europe, when you cross a border, the keyboard layout can be totally different.
This is neither a UK ISO layout, nor a US ANSI. It's an ISO layout that uses the US ANSI positions for the symbols.
Yeah it's an amalgamation of a layout, raised with a big ass enter keyboard, later switched to a standard ansi and always hated that backslash and pipe had a large key? Always bothered me. After a while I got my hands on a wyse 50 keyboard and did a soarer's mod on to make it usb and was happy for awhile until they key combos resulting in other keys finally pushed me to moving on. I don't remember many but ctrl+w+e would send tab, not great when I'm crouch walking and go to open a door.![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f4595390-7097-4d1e-9199-b1992ea3b669.jpeg)
Would still love to have a space larger than 7, that 9.75 space bar was something else.. Also got me to love control below tab. Though now I don't even want a caps lock key, if I for some reason really want to use it I have key combos, both shifts works fine for me should I need it.
