My problem seems to stem from having found my favourite layout type. I say layout type, because the layout itself isnt fixed and will still be tweaked in future. But I no longer want to use Qwerty, and I also no longer want to use a standard 104 key keyboard.



For the past few months I have been trying out split matrix layouts, and while I have not fully gotten accustomed to them yet, I greatly prefer them. They are indeed more comfortable than the tiny keyboards that you guys seem to like so much. Really, I cannot understand why we have so many big Nordic members who will spend $500 and more buying and outfitting their HHKB, when the layout more appropriate to them would be a split keyboard at least 60 cm apart.



And now I no longer want to take part in group buys. Most classifieds no longer interest me. Most discussions and keycap threads are no longer relevant to me since I am using relegendables. Most of my older keyboards are no longer wanted. Ive spent too much time modding things that I no longer want to use. I am even putting up with black switches on my keyboards, because I dont feel like desoldering them (too much trouble). So I have clears and jailhouse blues on 104 key keyboards that I dont want to use, and own several point of sale keyboards that have nothing but blacks on them (which I do want to use).



I think I have turned into a curmudgeon like fohat. Wonder where this is going to go.
