It’s mid February and I’m in the Midwest. In other words, we’re still comfortably in winter and I’m in an area of the US known for having freezing winters.
The high for today is 74°F (23.3°C) . Outside of the polar vortex the US got which did eventually get us to -10°F (-12.2°C), I haven’t seen us even approach freeing since then.
When I go running around the neighborhood this time of the year, I’m usually in layers, not in tank tops.
It goes deeper than that. On some of those keyboards, you’ll see that there aren’t even number keys and other somewhat common keys such as ()$&! And more.
These types of keyboards are almost always programmable. If you’re familiar with the FN key, then these keyboards have more advanced FN keys.
Press one programmed FN key, the entire keyboard might turn into a functional number pad. Press a different programmed FN key, asdfghj might turn into F1 F2 F3 etc. Press another programmed FN key, you can control media playback, control your mouse, and maybe even have a few macros!
These keyboards are ortholinear keyboards, that’s what this grid layout is. The firmware to achieve this level of customization is called QMK. It’s not just ortholinear keyboards that have QMK ☺️.
The worst are the places that say they have delivery, take you through the whole checkout process on their own site, and then sends you a link to track your order on door dash or something.
