I'm thinking about buying a Filco.
I will probably opt for the US layout. Despite being based in the UK. I like the symmetry of the US keyboard and like the fact that the enter key is a little nearer. I am thinking though of perhaps moving modifiers up to the tab and pipe spots at a later time. Or even doing something radical like turning them into backspaces, or relocating the enter key.
On the wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_a … _keyboards
It suggests that there is no AltGr, but this isn't the case is it?
I'll have to rehome the tilde, and my broken pipe (is this used ever?) and backslash - that may well present a problem. A benefit of keeping with the UK layout, is that there is more room for a wide mod. I think that's why Dreymar champions it. I could even transpose my right home position by two keys if needs must.
Am I loosing out at all by choosing the American style physical layout?
