@kaia My IBM kb-8926 would crush this keyboard like it would with the face of a 2d grill doing wariza.

the only thing a bit unusual for me about keyboard is the US layout. I chose it, but that the \ is so big feels strange to me. They could have added another key.

@kaia Yeah, that's a strange \ for sure.

@kaia @RedTechEngineer Isn't it the same width as the return key would occupy in the ISO layout anyway? And with the ISO layout the backlash gets moved to left shift making it small.

@kaia so i don't know for sure because i can't find any claims to why. this is pure speculation here but i think its because everyone copied the model m and the model m only had 14 (00-13) key columns so they just made that key extra wide because they wouldn't be able to electrically connect another key in that position. just a guess, i don't even know that the model m only did 00-13 or even did this electrical layout but it would make sense to me.

>because everyone copied the model m
well, im actually pretty sure this part is correct, its just why the model m did it in the first place is what i'm guessing on.

@paula8 switchable keycaps means you can move them. or do you mean the general layout? do you use ISO?

@kaia general layout?
the brazilian keyboard is very weird, it has the tall small enter
both shifts are smol
i think ISO comes close but the right shift is long so we miss the ? key

@kaia i love portuguese i love how we need a whole key for ç even tho it serves nothing because depending on the situation it is literally just a s or a c or ss or sc or whatever
