Ah! You seem to be right! The "@ '" and the "| \" are strangely placed on the same key... And it was indeed in a French shop where the guys seemed to had a lot a trouble typing on it! Because obviously, some keys didn't typed what was written on it... The layout was set in "FR" in Windows but hey, s...

Hello!
Not really "what is that keyboard" but what is this layout? Never seen it before...

Hey there, long time no see :) Just a few word to write about something that happened to me this week-end: there was this event, " Global Azure Bootcamp " all around the world, including my city: Strasbourg. I went there being curious about it, knowing nobody. I installed my laptop (well, a Surface)...

Nope. Not that I know of. Topre has a monopoly on that mount. Not through patent (they expired long ago) but through disinterest. And not our disinterest! But SP's etc. :D Plus, the "native" quality is quite good... But yeah, the initial investment for all the keys (not even speaking different prof...

Speaking of that, beside the space bars that are currently running, has there already been a GB for topre keysets (I don't know how to say that properly, the interrogative English is not my cup of tea :roll: ) ?

just to be clear. the GB already tipped and you are getting what you paid for. no question about that. the problem is that margin is incredibly low and I pushed for 7.50 per key instead of 9.50. So if we could reach 1000 per color I would feel better OK... 1000 per color :D Dang... So that's about ...

I do use the menu key but CTRL+SHIFT+Fn+F10 is a lousy option for this. Yep, tell me about it... The AutoHotKey is a good alternative though. I do not use the Menu key that much, but I can tell that it's missing when I want it, because I'm so used to it :/ Especially on Excel indeed! The RealForce ...

It's Fn+Right Ctrl on my wireless Logitech. It might be Fn with one of the right side modifiers on your keyboard as well.

Hello there, it's been a while :) I've got a question for you! Especially owners of a 60% keyboard, more specifically owners of a HHKB! I got mine 6 months ago, it's working like a charm. The only remaining thing that I can't do is one little thing: have the "real" behavior of a Menu key (which does...

Hey everybody :) So, I recently bought a model M (1391401) with missing keycaps (3 apparently. The "stems" are there but not the "top"). So, I was obviously thinking about buying new ones. And, in the same time, eventually buy some fancy blue / red / yellow / whatever color keycap :D I know that Uni...
