If it doesn't work out I can always grab me a Q2 but other than the delete key situation (which I think I have solved) I'm not really having any problems with the Q9. It is a weird keyboard - and I wish I'd bought the ANSI version! - but it's lovely to type on.

^ would like to add that there's a guide on disposing off them on that sub

So budget 60eur, QWERTZ De Layout and preferably Fullsize, this limit it down to really just the low budget ones of the budget ones. I assume the logitech board had red switches

So you could try this from amazon

Alternatives in the 100eur range would be Keychron K2 (without numpad)

Or Keychron K4 (out of stock at the moment)

Overall i would recommend to spend more, especially when it is your worktool, but of course not my decision

Edit: looking at the other reply that the logitech had brown switches, you could get the Keychrons as variants with brown switches

"I want to avoid diving into different layers because I type so much and often have to reframe and contextualize my prose."

Then why did you build a minimalist board? Sounds like you're trying to force an ok tool at doing something that a different tool would excel at.

It is rk100. There are not many full size keyboards in stock near me.

I type a lot, but I make mistakes all the time and often rejig a sentence. It's really a case of old dog, new tricks - as much as possible I want to avoid diving into different layers.

Honestly, i feel like owning too many different keyboards of the same layout is sth i cant really releate. Apart from my vintage keebs (Cherrys, Model M, alps) i only own one 75% (keychron Q1, QK75 on order) and one 65% (kbd67).

I still havent found the absolute perfect 75% lookswise that also works feature and price wise (im an ISO guy) but its really good, and already having another 75% on order is weird.

The kbd67 isnt perfect cause of the rather harsh implementation of gasketmounting, but the ability to cheaply change the colourway by changing the top case is phenomenal. I have 6 different coloured top cases and they can completly change the look of the board. Doesnt matter its ABS, it feels good and i dont need the expensive alluminum frame.

It's impossible to tell from a photo which switches the keyboard uses, but the 920-010458 part number is for the version with brown switches.

Maybe something like this?

I don't like the whole gamer aesthetic but it has switches that are similar but probably slightly better than on that logitech keyboard, german layout (I assume you care about that), and it's fullsize (I assume you prefer that over tenkeyless).

In general, if you want to look for a keyboard that feels similar to G715 in your price range, look for anything with kailh box brown or gateron brown switches. Cherry MX switches will also feel like that, but they will be out of your price range (purely because of the brand, quality is similar).

There's also a version with kailh box white switches, which I think feel similar but better since they use a different mechanism to provide tactility.

First 40% but looks like a scene from The First 48…

Idk. I've used tons of programs where you have to use shift+return to get a carriage return, and the. Crtl+return to submit your entry. It's not as bad as you think.

Also, if you don't ever make a mistake typing, you never have to use your fn+enter to delete something. It would force you to get really good putting your thoughts to text.

Also, I generally only use one of the shift keys. So I would consider using the other one for an enter.

Because I would throw this keyboard out the window if I had to press FN that often!

Why not use the enter key for both a backspace and a carnage return?

Don’t bring this to a keyboard sub 😫

So many and none of them are cheap

Very considerate of the manufacturer to put a sheet of plastic between the battery and the circuit board at least.

They were very popular here a few years back. A lot of them were used as modding platforms because they were relatively cheap for the time.

I still have one somewhere. They really benefit from the tempest mod and some thicker keycaps, by the way.

Those are normally intended for alkaline cells, Li-ion needs special treatment because of its fire/explosion potential.

I just got mine and I use the dash as a backspace, tab as escape and caps lock as tab.

That certainly is all one piece. A pretty big one.

Haha I'm the opposite, never use left shift for typing!

I'm on the one piece Palestine side of this one, sorry 🇵🇸 ✊

Sadly they don't have fractions!

I tried that but I kept slapping the void above the Enter key because that's where I usually find it. Also, in a kajillion years of typing, I don't think I've ever needed the right shift key! I find this layout a lot easier to deal with than what I had yesterday (I posted other pictures of this strange ISO Q9 misadventure.)

Buy pure isopropanol and just put it on. The isopropanol will make the glue soft and you can just remove the battery without any dangerous problems
