That is the worst keyboard layout i have ever seen. Bravo.
literally 40 keys AND YOU STILL INCLUDE THE USELESS CAPS LOCK KEY
A real Geek only need this one

It’s loss btw
Uncultured swine
The complete lack of A is concerning.
Or a space key.
But you get two Fn keys next to each other, so it’s got that going for it.
What? Ya can’t have access at all that; at what situation can ya fathomly have a want to access that?
If you ever do need it, just hit the ol’ fn+super+shift+q,z
If you ever need a ‘z’, just hit fn+alt+Ctrl+backspace.Ezpz
You know, I could do without the letter we’re referring to here. Plenty of other vowels to suit my needs.
What can anyone alternately make about usage?
All alphabetical antecedents are appropriate and appreciated.

I am pleased that you didn’t use A or Z.
Quality shitpost, sir!
Why would you include both caps lock AND shift but omit A and Z?!
Ironically enough, talking about cutting expenses, the keyboard in the photo could easily cost 10 times more than the typical 100% keyboard you’d find in a corporate office.
Especially when they have luxury of lubed switches, foam, dampeners/stabilizers, custom case material (that keeb def. Custom one).
Don’t forget keycaps! It’s where the real money is lost.
That set looks like GMK Blue Samurai, which sells new for $150.
Shift is A, Caps Lock is Z, Control & Backspace is spacebar.
Don’t ask me why, I just searched the image and found the reddit thread that this post is riffing from and got my answers
bruh why would they make spacebar a two key combo. That is literally the most used key
Even though I told you don’t ask me why… you’re asking me why. But I’m a good donut so I went back:
They dont have to press BOTH keys to press space, they just didnt have a spacebar key that is the correct size to fit, so they put those 2 random keys on instead until they get a permanent keycap set that all fits.
Ooohhh, keycap issue.
thanks. For the record, you are a great donut
They meant to say “Control or* Backspace is Space”, right? Right?!
Split spacebars are thing mostly because of layouts that won’t support a normal spacebar key. But, since most of these keyboards have user created and designed firmware, one could assign those spacebar keys to do anything.
I have a few keyboards with split spacebars where the “right” spacebar is normal; it’s just a spacebar but small. The “left” space does dual duty; tap it and it’s a spacebar, hold it down and it becomes a modifier key for a custom layer. Custom layers are used on small keyboards to make the “missing” keys available, sort of like how a phone keyboard has number layer and symbols layer.
I fully embraced this habit of split spacebars because I cannot train myself to use my left thumb to hit space for the life of me even though I’m a touch typist. Since my right thumb is the only digit hitting space, may as well get some use out of the rest of the space taken up by that spacebar.
