Table updated. I agree about the wiki, but I'm tempted to leave it here until it 'settles' first.

Whoops, sorry. I'll add it in the next batch - editing the table is ... fun.

Anyone have the measurements on a Leopold FC200? I could really use them for my keyboard case that I'm building.

Why only the width and not all measurements?

hoggy

25 Aug 2012, 12:30

Good point.

This was inspired by a geekhack signature I saw a while back with a collection of keyboard widths, I remember looking for a post from that guy several times when I was making up my mind to buy a Filco TKL. I think it was ElbowGlue - but I could be wrong. I've also seen posts where people are put off the Kinesis Advantage because of it's perceived width.

...but you've hit the nail on the head. I can't think of any reason of not asking for more measurements if people are happy to provide them, so I've amended the form to include the other two.

I think they should be also be classed atleast: Full, TKL, other.

Sounds good to me. Done.
