That keyboard looks really nice, but the placement of the R CTRL would cause me fits.
Do you actually use the right control or shift keys? I do always touch type but I pretty much only use the left modifier keys.
Right shift, but not right control.
I personally don't use the Right 'anything', like ever.
I'm a different person but I sure do.
Yeah. Right Control should be where Fn is for sure.
And as an ISO keyboard user, I need my right Shift key, so that Control has to be a Shift instead. On ISO, left Shift is small and right is large. For that and other reasons I use the right one way more than the left. And if that's not possible for deep technical reasons, hard-wire it to the left one bypassing all of the trouble. It wouldn't be the first time a keyboard did something like that.
... and what do you know, there's a even little space there with no key where they could put the Fn key omitted by those changes.
Everything else I could deal with. Even the otherwise US layout. It's been a while since I used one, but occasionally there's a hiccup and I'll reach for double quote or at-sign in the opposite places, so that muscle memory is still there, maybe waiting for mangling into typing on something like this.
