Any ANSI UKers? How was the switch from ISO? (feddit.uk)

Hi!

Many mechanical keyboards are only available in ANSI layout. I've held off buying a keyboard because of this.

How have people here found moving from ISO to ANSI? Does it take long to say goodbye to the backwards-L return key etc.?

I largely use HHKB layout keyboards and although this doesn't really answer your question, moving from ISO to HHKB took me about 2 weeks to fully adjust. I still miss having the £ key though, so for any non-HHKB layout keyboards I still actively look at ISO if I can. I'll say that if you use an Apple keyboard (MacBook etc) you'll find they're already about halfway between ISO and ANSI (@ above 2, " above ' etc) which can give you some idea. At this point I can use ISO, HHKB or an Apple keyboard and I won't have to think about it at all really, I'll just naturally adapt to the layout.
