ANSI for me. As you say, the enter and shift keys are used extremely frequently. Having to stretch our weakest and shortest fingers to reach these 2 keys is a major design flaw.

In reply to Jan. Yes, but we can't provide an ETA.

In reply to László Monda. Is a columnar layout still planned for UHK?

ANSI is horrible for custom layouts. ISO gives ability to move keys further to right and place punctuation in the middle (it's really convient)

Polish here. Mostly we use ANSI keyboards. I live in the UK and I really hate slim ENTER and too short left SHIFT keys here (especially playing games). Now I'd like to buy a new laptop and I think I will do it in Poland just because of the keybord layout.

As a german programmer I use neo-layout which is based on a ISO layout with more MOD keys and is very ergonomic because all keys, even the arrow keys, are reachable from the main row. The use of the L shaped return key is here also less frequent but the moved backslash is used as MOD3 for the different brackets and the little finger is used more often.

[…] though comes with a bar-shaped return key. The founder of UHK has an excellent article ANSI or ISO? Which keyboard is more ergonomic that is worth a read. In a nutshell, ISO layouts force you to move further left and right hundreds […]

In reply to László Monda. Yes, I know László. Thanks. That's the main reason why it was very hard for me to find a proper mechanical keyboard and all my first choices had to be discarded. Are UHK keycaps compatible with something? Cherry probably?

In reply to Marco Bresciani. It's worth noting that unlike the UHK 60 v1, the UHK 60 v2 contains PBT keycaps that will never get shiny. We plan to offer additional keycap sets in the future, but I'm sorry to say that Italian is not planned because the demand is too low to make them financially feasible.
