    That keyboard looks really nice, but the placement of the R CTRL would cause me fits.

      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.

      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.
