Shift + Shift = Caps Lock. A destructive operation, which requires two simultaneous keys…

I know, it's still my favourite macro. Soarer told me that one, it's sublime.

Oh, I just remembered one more thing why both Shift-keys is bad as a universal shortcut: Pinball games on the PC often use left and right Shift keys to control the left and right flippers — and flipping both flippers is something you do often.

Pinball games? Aren't we a mechanical keyboard community, get a real pinball machine! :lol:

Alternatively, an excuse to add still more layer logic. In Soarer, I’d use a SET to contain the macro, toggleable by some key combo, preferably containing Shift and Caps Lock.

It does not look better in person... There is also one with Yoda.

I used to be a Star Wars fan but even back when they were new, I wouldn't want to be caught dead with one of those.
I used to be too , but this keyboard i would have hated when i was too young to even use one...

So what is the GOAT keyboard?

I should probably perform a hoof-typing test with our goats on an unused rubber dome board.

I just made mine to work like my phone's keyboard where you double tap shift to turn it on. That works amazingly well. Though I had to set it to where when it's tapped AND held it works like a normal shift key. I ran into issues with having it just tap / double tap. If you use a different firmware than QMK though YMMV.

As someone who as used the model m, model f and beamspring I have to say the model f by far

^ Agreed. I have all three and the F wins as far as actual use is concerned. Helps that my main F is a Kishsaver, obviously, but even the AT is so classy compared to an M. Beam is fun but beastly. F is the sharper daily driver.

Yes. Long live the Models F, but especially the 4704 family.

I actually think that Darth Maul keyboard looks great.
