QUOTE(justnits @ Feb 24 2014, 09:17 AM) i thought he just got them not too long ago? IIRC, he wants black font instead, and I want the red font. I could have bought the black one, deliver to him and he send me the red ones, but that looks unlikely at this point because the black one no stock. Spent the weekend with my OEM profile keys... thought I won't miss my DSA keys. Start using my TKL and now I'm feeling more comfort with my DSA keys... Such is life.

Guys, would like to know, since the CM Storm Trigger has a standard layout, I'm wondering if that's also the case for their Trigger Z.

Plus, the added problem of a non-standard layout and small return key....

Still dun get why a lot of people insist on getting MKBs with Macro...
Anyway, for all the sifu out there... how do you guys get used to the 60% layout? Keys I use most often are Esc, F2, F5 and F9 so I'm not really sure how to acclimatize to a 60% ish keyboard.

Numbers = Numbers Shift+Numbers = Symbols FN+Numbers = F1-F12 Isn't it very simple to use 60%? Why need bigger layout when small layout is this simple.

Ok... but play doto I mapped a lot of stuff to the function row, that's why I was curious. In the end, I might end up buying the leopold topre if diabolique doesn't wanna sell his caps. So if I use 60%, then I need to make sure that those keys are easily accessed...

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Feb 24 2014, 11:28 AM) How much the price for Leopold topre? Elitekeyboard lists at around 189 USD. For the price i might end up with Type Heaven instead if the quality the same. I still prefer TKL for gaming, and I scared I like the switches so much that I sell all my old stock to fund topres. Problem #2 is that Fn button always on right side, so need some gymnastics to do shit. This post has been edited by dadudeneverabides: Feb 24 2014, 11:32 AM

For such steep price for topre, you can considered RealForce and HHKB too.

Ranges are from USD 189 all the way to about USD 280 for Topres. Made in Japan what... quality stuff. But the real reason why I was looking at the leopold 660c is because it might be cheap, and I want the cheapest topre for testing first. Realforce TKL costs around USD 225 for the one I wanted (black on black, uniform 45g)

Esc, just press esc. For F2, F5, F9 which I guess Dota 2, simply press with Fn key. Can use programmed mode or simply use win key as Fn. It's a lot easier than you think. Poker II for Dota 2, hell yeah I can play.

Like press F3, straight away finish current delivery then go back and send my stuff. Also got rune-check configs... and I use 123 for items, so can't change the keys there. I also use ~ for hero select, so I can't use that either...

Two choices: - Adapt new layout until. - Don't give a fcuk to 60% keyboard. I'm not pro and I don't have a lot of options to set. I play for fun so I'm willing to adapt or change as long I can use an awesome keyboard. I use combination with alt, ctrl etc. And shifted to ZXCVBN.  You can forget 60%.
