    Which enter and backspace key shape do you prefer?
    1. Ansi (–) enter, large backspace
    2. Iso/Jis (⢻) enter, large backspace
    3. Big Ass (⣾) enter, small backspace
    4. Big Ass (⣾) enter, large backspace, backslash key displaced on right side of right shift
    I am in Poland, where mostly Ansi or Big Ass enter is used. I have only seen Iso enter in computer classes, but it didn't contain the additional key.

    I prefer option 4.

    Don't really care about the enter key, I'd rather the backspace was less of a stretch, I like it on the left thumb.  Failing that I hear Colemak swaps out the caps lock key for a backspace.

    I prefer Enter on Extend-Space, and Backspace on Extend-O. ;-)

    I use ISO boards because they're common here in Norway, and also because they have the VK_102 key which is essential for the Angle mod.

    Without the Wide mod, their physical Enter and Back keys are too far away from the home position. It's not perfect even with a Wide mod, so I prefer the Extend versions. But I use the (ISO) Enter key some.

    If it were possible I would have the ANSI-style enter key, but with the ISO-style VK_102 key !
