Any key that cannot be reached from the home row is useless. Why would anyone ever use those keys?
>>
>needing all of those things
Are you disabled?
>>
The programmable layer more than makes up for needing fn to make ~. Don't use any of the other keys.
>>
>>53874444
I'd rather not have to press FN like I'm using a goddamn notebook whenever I want to use a special key, like F12 to screenshot or insert when I want to insert. I also use the numpad for gaming, it's essential to GTA V gameplay after all. Minecraft has a few F functions like no HUD, screenshot, tech specs etc. Counter Strike, or any valve game for that matter, has console access from ~ whereas ESC pauses. I use DEL quite frequently when editing files, and would absolutely hate if I'm renaming a file and accidentally press Delete and have to fish it out of my Recycle Bin. Page Up and Page Down are quite useful when scrolling through my brilliant 9Gag memes. Did I miss anything?

Pressing FN and a regular key is faster than moving your hand to press a special key.

OP here. That's actually a fairly good point.

I'm actually thinking of falling for the 60% meme but I can't find one with my language layout.
After almost 20 years of using ITA layout how difficult would the switch (mostly for special characters) be?
Most of the characters used in programming look comfier to do on US, but for writing italian stuff I'd miss àèìòù. How uncomfy are those to type on the US layout?

The arrow keys are far better on this keyboard imo.
You just press the fn button with your pinky and then use the ijkl arrow keys, dont have to move your hand at all.

Also there's plenty of 60% ita kbs.. it's only a bitch to get them without being raped by shipping and customs

>there are people who pay more money for less useful keyboards

Like, if that was something you would use for your media station on your couch I would understand(but even then you would be better off getting something else), but not a a desktop keyboard.
>>
>>53874789
You can just get a American keyboard but keep the ITA layout on your computer. Sure some buttons will look wrong but you should be able to know them without having to look at it anyways.

That's what I did for like 5 years back in the day and I had no real problems with it.

Don't use a numpad, and keyboards that have them aren't ergonomic

As if you'd want the stock palm-rests that come with keyboards, get your own idiot.
>>No arrow keys
What is WASD
>>No ~ key
Shift + Fn + Esc. I don't use it enough to justify the use of a dedicated key.

this is fucking reatrded

>>53874444
true especially with some of the alt layouts around

>>53874951
you going to use an alt layout on that??

>>53874789
look into alt layouts the "NEO" layout may be a good place to start

>>
>>53874406
Even more awesome: the Fn key is on the right where all the keys that it would activate are... so who has a second thumb that can reach that shit?

Holy fucking shit it's like they TRIED to make a shitty keyboard.

It's not our fault you don't know how to use it.

LMAO! You guys don't have money for proper SteelSeries gear or something? How do you even Emacs on these shitboards?

Only thing I'd miss is the numpad since I do a lot 3D work and numpad in blender is handy for quick view manipulation.

Buy a dedicated one.

Haven't been on /g/ for a while so don't know if this is a shitposting-only thread but I have a related question.

I'm looking for a cheap keyboard that doesn't suck. I'd like the feel of a Mech (quietest keys - Reds?) but my budget is probably like $40 since I don't care that much so they're probably out of my range. Basically just want something with decent key feel and a backlight for really cheap. Any suggestions?

I got this CM Devastator combo for $30 at Micro Center with my new build to hold me over until I figure out what keyboards/mice don't suck and it's actually not bad at all to me. I'll probably just keep it unless you guys could recommend some pretty good cheap boards/mice.
>>
>>53874406
That's my favorite keyboard.
>>
>>53877523
really though, I've never had that work
do real work on arch I dare you
>>
>>53878432
Look into the magic touch 68, or any other Chinese keyboard with kailh switches. You won't be able to get a KB with cherry switches with that budget as they start around 70-80 for the cheapest.
>>
>>53874789
I'm the guy who owns the POK3R, to be honest 60% is a bit of a meme.

I only got this keyboard because it's 4-layer programmable. Unless you have the patience in setting it up to become more tolerable, I'd suggest a 5-row tenkeyless instead.

For example, in everyday use I have navigation and typing profiles which I often switch between. Without those profiles I'd be holding FN all the time. I also have a gaming profile with macros.

I honestly wouldn't buy a non-programmable 60% keyboard, unless my desk really had no space for anything else.
>>
>>53878176
Nah, I have never seen one actually attack full keyboard users for using keyboards.
If there is any attacking going on, chances are it's one of you morons.
>>
>>53874444
I guess if you have small hands. But if that is the case, you are a woman so get off the internet.

>calling other people retarded

OP is asking for keys, not for key_signal_processed_by_pressing_more_than_neccessary_while_also_different_keys aka keybinds
>>
>>53874490
so this is not your kind of keyboard.
thank god there is a lot of shitty keyboards out there that you can buy.
>>
>>53874468
>not using the tilde key

are you not a programmer?
