Will 2013 be the year of the minimalist navigation cluster?

I don't get why ISO is niche, all of Europe uses it and the JIS uses the same enter.

Also a pretty nice numpad :)

At some cases it's just new plate and key caps... Atleast Ducky is coming up with something. So there is hope as the demand increases.

On the other hand I don't get the point of iso; my hands are symmetric so why isn't my keyboard? :)

Because small backspaces are evil. All single character keys should be single space, just logical isn't it?

I personally don't find it that strange that they're not offering an ISO option, since Leopold's primary market is South Korea (aside from the few keyboards they sell to EliteKeyboards in the US). Can't be that many ISO users there, if any?

Of course they could expand their business by also selling ISO versions, but there probably is a reason they don't.

On the topic of the keyboard, I think it looks nice and all that, but I don't like the placement of Home, PgDown and so on. Sure, I do like that exact placement on my HHKB, but with the Fn key placement I think it would feel a bit straining, so to speak.

the thing is most keyboards dont even get to europe.
(imagine the guy on the beertable here)http://www.memecreator.org/template/dos-equis/
and when they do, they only come in one of the many possible varitations.

best example is the cm storm quickfire. in europe only with mx red. usa and stuff you can choose.

ps: i also find this layout too small. normal tkl is optimum.

Looks very nice - and the numpad seems to have dimensions that would make it fit nicely with normal TKL. Seems they went with a glossy surface on the numpad though, vs. the matte on the keyboard... but maybe that's a nice contrast.

Ugly, lacks symmetry, random unused space. Right side should have been like Noppoo and such.

por favor webwit. the noppoo? dont get me started. i wanted something light. so its worth it. but it rattles and the stabilizer, ahh, the stabilizer. i can bend it with my pinky. and the right shift key it's all crooked as if i'd use it a lot.

I wish they put PgUp/PgDown as dedicated keys, there is certainly room above the arrow keys for that.

Numpad looks real nice, not so sure about the layout on the 66key...

Very nice looking keyboard.

The layout looks vaguely familiar. Where have I seen something like that before? Hmmm... :-)

Asia and elitekeyboards (us). I don't think you will see it in EU.
