I was looking at not-that-expensive fancy mechanical keyboards yesterday and I found a low-profile one I really liked, especially because it has switchable Mac/Windows layouts (gonna use a Mac at new job) until I realized that the Mac layout had no option for a right Alt/AltGr because it somehow needs two fn keys, wtf
@Rhew specifically talking about the Keychron K7, it looks great except for that
@noiob
Hey I was right!
It hasn't posed an issue for me yet. Love the keyboard so far.
Then again I mainly use it for writing right now. If I get a more technical job I'll check back in on that opinion.
@Rhew I mean that's what I use AltGr for, to type umlauts and accents and ß
@noiob
Huh. Well now I'm curious if there's a way to do that on that keyboard. When I get back to it tonight I'll take a look
@Rhew according to the manual, you can swap windows and right alt with a key combo, but that's only on the Windows configuration. You can swap alt and command in macOS settings but that affects both sides
@noiob
Gotcha! So yeah too finicky to use easily
@Rhew shame, it looks pretty awesome, especially for the price
@noiob
Yeah, that's one I'd recommend too.
I hope ya find one that has the functionality ya need!
@noiob
I think I have this keyboard...
