logitech releases a keyboard without arrow keysthey tried to market it to esportshttps://www.is.fi/digitoday/esports/art-2000010369602.htmlarrow keys are missing but so are the F1 to F12 keys toothere is no numpadall letters from A to Z are intactyou could map gaming keys like this:W,A,S,D movement to 4 directions and some other letters or even numbers for switching through weapons, abilities and opening doors ingamemouse buttons 1 and 2 are often used to shoot and shooting doesnt need to be mapped to keyboardthere was a logitech setup program shipped with keyboard and it can program several features into just one keyprogrammed keys should work with all programs on top of windows 10>it is the smallest mechanical keyboard from logitech so far>the price is 200 euros
At that point you might as well use a gamepad instead. That's the most pitiful keyboard I've ever seen.
yeah it's called a 60%
do esports folk make use of those speedpads and such? The keyboard would then get increasingly secondary, and losing those keys wouldn't be much of a loss.Though I never would've imagined reducing the amount of stuff on your desktop by shrinking the keyboard to give you a particular edge over the competition. Like mouse bungees.
>>100124006dont they usually have F1 to F12 though
>>100124015I bought the larger version of this because it's easier to position it in a way that doesn't fuck up my wrist than it is to rotate my entire fucking keyboard 45 degrees, plus I can still use my keyboard for actual typing. I don't play anything competitively though, mostly just TF2 and DRG with friends
>>100123876>companies still can't beat wooting at keyboards
>no function keys >no multimedia keys >no arrow keys >no numpad >suddenly 200usd nah, I don't think I will
>>100124006 What cutting his dick does to a mf
>>100124183>>100124618The function keys are accessed by the Fn modifier key.
>>100123876couldn't pay me to use a 60% without a split space and centre function key
>>100124782does this have a price of 200 monies
>>100124782Sounds horrible.
>>100123876How do people still not know how keyboard layers work?>>100124782Remapping caps lock to fn also works well.
>>100124665you know I'm talking about the real f keys, right? you can access multimedia keys with fn on certain keyboards, doesn't mean they have multimedia keys.
Are these things actually good to use or just a meme?
>>100123876>it has a windows key but mfker cant ctrl alt del
>>100123876>without arrow keysbottom right anon
And what's with these 40% ones? Seems only useful if you're perhaps a journalist
>>100124955>>100124944>>100124782>>100124015>>100123876literally 40% keyboards
>>100124955This looks horrible. Like the worst keyboard ever designed.
>>100124944W-what does the bee buttons do?
>>100125016Up to you I suppose
>>100123876>they tried to market it to esportsWhy the fuck would anyone play a game without a full keyboard?
>>100125112More desk space for your mountain dew
>>100124978
>>100125407Is this a competition? Do people get something about of designing worse and worse keyboards?
>>100125459>>100125407what does the pull up switch on the middle do
>>100126475Well I'll tell you fren. That's for the volume
>>100124183No, 60% don't have them.
>>100125112Have you played any e-sport game ever? Do you know how much of the keyboard is used in them?
>>100123876>arrow keys are missing but so are the F1 to F12 keys tooIt's a feature!
Apple again, setting trends 40 years ago.
>>100123876I wonder what hitting the "fn" key does
>>100124782What's up with split space anyway?
>>100123876Why hasn't anyone made "muh gayming" kb where the "W" and "S" are directly above/below one another?There's no good reason for the redundant capslock to be so large. just shift that shit half a cm to the left and you've got a symmetrical WASD which might be better for your middle finger or something.
Posting daily driver
>>100127799you keep it pressed down and then hit 1, its now F1 featurethe sames for F2 to F9but I dont know how F10,11 and 12 are called upon
>>100128343Happy?
>>100128691isnt ESC in a dangerous place, you will hit it mistakenly, it exits some games, but depends on game
>>100128700It's all good bro. Just keep your palm on the pad and the esc key is well out of your reach
>>100128691Pretty based. I'm still using picrel after all these years.
>>100128682F10 is on 0, F11 is on + and F12 is on \
>>100123876gay as fuck
>>100128691The dumb thing about this is that if you don't use WASD then keys then the Shift, Ctrl and Alt keys are less convenient than on a regular keyboard. And Space is a little too far to the left.I use ESDF and my thumb would be resting barely on the space bar while my access to those other keys would definitely be impaired.Also, you can't even type basic slurs on it.
>>100128894>I use ESDFskill issue
I tried a bunch of layouts, settled for exploded 75%>f row >arrow keys >a couple of extras in the right for macro or whatever you want>ansi qwerty is familiar and the benefit of other layouts is small for having to learn them from scratch >separate numpad for space on the mouse mat >knob is unnecessary but something had to be on the corner igpic related is my monsgeek m1. great value chink machine aluminum board
>>100130111oh and i remapped caps lock to control and control to a layer switch key, i liked that about hhkb
>>100123876people who use these small keyboards have literally never written software longer than 100 locusually g*mers or r*ce fags
>>100130111Looks nice.I'm looking for an upgrade from my gmk67 because i miss the f keys and silent switches feel bad on a flexible board.I wish there was an aluminum board with a proper steel plate. for now i think i will go with akko mg75w.
>>100124782I feel sorry for the retard that actually spent money on that crooked crap.
>>100130169What do you use on a bigger keyboard to write more that 100 LoC software?
>>100127799Can people born after 2010 stop using this site? Please fuck off.
>>100123876Seems terrible, needing a bloated windows only always running logitech service on your computer just to provide a fraction of QMK/VIA(L) features in a poor interface for almost twice as much. Is it even hot swappable?
