Once you go 40% and get a layout working for you, you'll never go back.
Try putting the numbers on a layer under home row, F-keys on the bottom row and the shifted symbols on QWERTY. It works well once you get used to it! Even better if you use one of the spacebars as an FN key to toggle that layer.
Great job with the build BTW! I'd love to build one of these if only it had a few more keys on the right side like my MiniVan.

As someone who also went down the same path with the exact same Filco but a TKL, you'll find it considerably more comfortable typing on a smaller keyboard once you adjust to the layout.
I much prefer the new accented colors Fujitsu provides than the older and darker red/blue combo.
Enjoy being one with cup rubber!

That's a beautiful case color. Wow.
Nice seeing Godspeed too as a throwback to Group Buys of yore.

So clean. White keyboard cases are the best IMO. That is one nice looking Alice board!

Oh man this is my personal dream 40% build right here! I need to get me one of these PCBs.
Do you use the knob for backspace or the key next to it?

Nice keyboard and cat! Frosted case looks fantastic with dark keycaps.
This must sound really thocky, amirite?

That's a nice looking build you got there!
Great job with the cable too. Is that a LEMO or different connector?
Also because I'm into watches, what's that next to the cable?

That’s an interesting take actually. I use Caps Word so I can’t do that with my one shift key unfortunately.

That's a very interesting central layout!
I assume you don't write code and use braces that often?

Never been a fan of the TrackPoint but this is an absoutely beautiful piece of technology that I'd be happy to have on my desk.
BTW why so many MacBooks over on the right?

Having two SPACEBARS helps so if I'm doing a lot of sustained typing I'll use the non-Mod-Tap one instead. I did spend a lot of time tweaking the tapping term to suit my typing habits though and have since adjusted to the keyboard.
I should also mention I had less of a problem with the delay after moving to linears from super tactile switches before.
Hope that helps!

I’ll be honest I have no idea since my Preonic has 58 keys. I imagine it’s because some Ortho and splits have 50-some odd keys… just wanted to get in on the action here lol.

Put a Numpad layer under QWE/ASD/ZXC--problem solved!
I have it set up this way: R/F for minus/plus, V for Numpad ENTER, LALT for Zero, 1/2/3 for NumLk/divide/multiply.
This way you can just bring the keyboard and never be without a Numpad.

Yah not much action on that front these days.
The notable ones to me are the THE50 and TMOv2 which I would happily have on my desk if I didn't already have these two...

How sturdy is it when you're actuating any of the thumb keys with it tented using the tripods? Have you ever had any issues with the keyboard wanting to tilt down from pressing those keys?
pabloescobyte t1_j9d5s3e wrote
That is one beautiful looking Iris my friend.
Once you force yourself to learn to touch type, you'll be 100X more productive. If you really, really want to get better quickly, swap them keycaps to blanks!

They’re no longer made unfortunately but I think KBDFans has similar sets in “NP” profile and there are probably similar sets on AliExpress.
Here is the original product listing from 1upkeyboards if you want to see what’s included.
The set isn’t an Ortho set just FYI. I just used the alphas and extra mods to fill out the board since I don’t have any other sets that have two 2u keycaps for my spacebars.

Tap-Mod means it’s SPACEBAR when tapped, but if held down it’s a modifier key instead—in this case it’s a momentary layer toggle or “FN” key to access a specific layer.
I have a dedicated layer where the F-keys, numbers and shifted symbols are. I access it by holding down the RIGHT SPACEBAR.
The reason I don’t have Tap-Mod on the LEFT SPACEBAR is because when playing games Tap-Mod is no good when you need to press SPACEBAR repeatedly.
