Tsundoku Keyboard

Tsundoku's keyboard concept. Concept, goals, etc. here.

Variants

Design Goals

Not for Windows
- Mac/Sun-style bottom row modifier layout
- Large Command and Option keys for people who use them often
Not minimalist
- Dedicated arrow keys
- Coincidentally smaller than 101/104 keyboards, but compactness itself is not a goal
No IBM-style nav cluster
- Arrow keys can go on the bottom row as on many Apple keyboards
- Home/End/PageUp/PageDown on Fn layer of arrow keys
- Don't need Insert
- Forward Delete can go on tenkey (Clear on Macintosh keyboards)
No dedicated function keys
- Can use Fn layer for number row
- Anticipates an environment where these are rarely used and only in specialized circumstances (eg. Minecraft)
Has a tenkey
- No Num Lock (no modes!). Always numbers

No JIS Right Shift support
Layouts all referenced from AT101/Windows 104
- 75%, 60%, etc... all expressed as reductions of AT101
- No consideration for different combinations of elements. Tenkeyless? 75% 60%? What about a tenkey but no IBM nav cluster?
