That's what I was thinking lol

For some people this works even better. On the 40s discord there are people showing videos of how they program with it. You can customize it however you like. I'm in IT and mostly work in an Unix shell with the occasional scripting. It's easy once you have found your layout :)

For this exact reason I only have one testicle

is this just layer-city ? as someone who codes as my side hustle, and uses excel in my day hustle, i can't understand how someone could find any comfort using a keyboard like this.

If anyone is still buying a 65% nowadays then they should have their money removed from them

I think you’re just built different

Not at all! Curly braces are on O/P when the key besides the left spacebar is held. I have Auto-Shift enabled so (while the mod key is held) tapping O/P gives me squared brackets. When holding the key longer than 125ms, it gives me curlies :)

I'd tell people the other keys are behind the keyboard lol .

I ordered a Ginkgo65 pro as well. The more memes you can relate to on this sub, the less money you have.

Isn't it difficult to reach curly braces and other punctuation?

I have to agree with you aswell. 12u is quite the challenge sometimes but I just love the look too much. Never had a 13u but I put FF here on my Neko which is 14u: https://imgur.com/a/Zikcn6A

It is more comfortable but switching back and forth messes with my muscle memory when hitting enter or backspace.

HAHA dude I just commented about Ginkgo too 😂

I laugh at this but then I remember myself eyeing that Ginkgo65 Pro like I was gonna violate it 😭😭😭

Modern Leopolds have a dip switch for that. Flip the first dip switch on the bottom and CTRL and Caps Lock are swapped. No additional layer needed.

Without any problems. I just needed a few days getting used to it. I'm mostly playing CSGO and other FPS games, so pretty straight forward. Numbers are in the first row if the left spacebar is held down. Layers.

But how do you play gaymes?

more options on the same layout is good, otherwise you could be stuck on a company that you dont like, right?

There are valid reasons to dislike Python but this doesn’t even make sense as a joke

Would love one with some chalky Topres. Best sound.

Didn't think of it that way tbh. Males me even more happy.

tbh not a fan, but I like no LEDs with my pc and Keeb.

>one kidney left

So..have you decided what keyboard will be next?

Eh. Kidneys degrade and eventually die, they are barely modular. This will outlast even you if taken care of. So worth it.

They’re making fun of the language, but the world would fucking collapse if python disappeared tomorrow

I was going to more fully argue the intention, but since OP agreed with your assessment, I'll just give an anecdote that minimalism isn't a factor for me. I like 40s because I don't have to move my hands. It's more comfortable and I'm more accurate. I do software development and accounting work. I'm not fighting my keyboards at all. It truly is the most efficient way for me.

OP's keyboard is 12u though, and I personally think that anything under 13u forces you to fight the layout, particularly with development work.
