Re: Keycaps: UK ISO Cyrillic a thing?

UK ISO caps with Cyrillic stickers on the front of the caps maybe? Or grab a set of white caps and use a nice pen to hand draw the legends on the front?

Re: Tipro (MX blacks), Free G81 parts + more!

I'm interesteed in one Digipro. Which connection do they have? They have a PS/2 port however you will need to use a 32 bit OS/virtual box if you want to reprogram the keyboard over PS/2 (I think?) Ok. Thanks. To program a Tipro over PS/2 requires a 32 bit OS,virtual machines will not work,see https...

Re: Post a picture of your ideal keyboard layout!

One thing, though: that 1U Alt and the "offset" split space bar strike me as needing a do-over. I'm sure you're right. At this point I'm just throwing stuff around and see what sticks ... the idea was to have a fully symmetrical 22x6 matrix, with a mount (if not a switch) at every intersection. Giv...

Re: Does Your Ideal Mouse Exist?

My perfect mouse would be the Logitech G502 with the G600's 12 side buttons. I am in awe of those who can navigate more than two side buttons on a mouse! I play a lot of World of Warcraft,so I've had a lot of time to adapt,makes gaming so much easier with the bulk of your abilities under your thumb.

Swill has a plate builder if you are not aware about it by some strange chance.
This is probably it: http://builder.swillkb.com/
There is a lot of discussion about it on geekhack.
I never used it myself.

I used it to design the top plates for my BFO-9000,it's pretty easy to use.

Re: How about splitting the space bar, with equal-sized symmetrical halves?

Ok, but then what? There's not much point to split the space bar if both keys will produce the same characters. Typically, the left space bar is remapped to be Backspace. Others have taken a liking to putting Tab there. What would I do? Me being me, I press the space bar with my left thumb exceedin...
