Presumably mine has the same switches
lincolnquirk’s
does; I have (at least roughly) the same model and his description matches my
experience. I also keep the electronically generated click turned on. It’s
not very loud, but that’s good, because one of the main downsides of model M
keyboards is the worry about bothering fellow cubicle dwellers with the
clackity-clack.
My mods:
Remapped (via the Kinesis’s programmable firmware) to . The
built-in key
is too tiny, wobbly, and close to the key for a user
of a vi-style editor).
Swapped the mappings and keycaps of the up- and down-arrow keys, so that each
is in the same column as the corresponding vi movement key.
Remapped the extra <\> key (below ) to . (This key is already
, but only if you switch keypad modes. I use this mainly for pasting
into PuTTY with
+.)
Remapped some of the thumb keys (and used the included extra keycaps) so that
I have a and an for each hand (and no Windows
key or Menu
key). (A nice side-effect of this is
that I have two s and not an and an . I know it’s possible
to do this in Linux, but I haven’t gotten around to figuring out how yet,
which means when I use rdesktop to access my work computer from my home
computer I have to remember to use only the left key on my Unicomp.)
