Caps lock is a useless key to me, so I switch it to the windows key. On a hhkb I have the control where the caps lock is and my windows key on the right shift when pressing the fn key. It takes a while to learn but i prefer it now and even find my TKL to slow because I have to leave my home row for just some arrow keys. It remains preference of course.

Reply to Want a break from the ads? - Consider GMK Beige Addon & Extension! by c-mcmc

Hi everyone,

This set aims to get people their compat with with a variety of fun addon kits for you to choose from. As its name implies, it's beige. Why beige? Because beige is a pretty common colorway. Although I personally think it's boring, but it's great for this because you can find beige sets relatively easy to pair with this such as Hineybeige, OG Cherry Doubleshot, Classic Beige, Retro Zhuyin, 9009, Retro Runic, etc.

Vendors:

Oblotzky, Prototypist, zFrontier and Apex let you combine Hineybeige with Beige addon to save shipping cost. :TooBased:

Yes. Though given this one was for typesetting, probably not so many foreigners ended up using one - the normal-use computers of the time wouldn't have been able to handle kanji anyway, they had enough bother dealing with hiragana and katakana! (I also don't know how computers handled the rarer kana systems before IMEs - perhaps they just didn't.) Some Western typesetting systems had big keyboards too, often using mechanical switches or even some of the exotica like magnetic switches.

Here's a site with lots of old Japanese keyboards. NEC had column stagger long before the Ergodox!

I'm liking it a lot! The build quality is decent for the price (I went with the aluminium version). I tried some other switches on it as well; silent, clicky, linear, and tactile, and the non-silent and clicky ones sounded great on it, too.
I initially thought you'd the VIA programming you applied would only stick as long as the board is connected by USB, but that isn't the case. I programmed some stuff and it stays even when I switch to Bluetooth.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase
