Don't like it. Reason? It doesn't have the BIG enter key. Every keyboard without it is a no go for me.

I'm quite the opposite, I hate the big enter key. This layout is perfect for me. Except it has a retarded space button. Big buttons on keyboards are not good as they don't actuate with exactly the same force on every press. It depends on where you hit the key. This space button is a perfect example for that. It will feel one way if you press it on the left side and totally different if you press it on the low right side. The mouse looks good though. That sensor is decent, it's basically a cheaper version of Avago 3090 but it works quite good.

ENTER has to be big so i can smack it with confidence. Otherwise i hit everything around it...

Yeah I know what you're saying, that's what you got used to. For me it's the left shift. Some keyboards, I think UK ones, have the left shift smaller and the | \ key is there between it and Z. Exactly like Enter. If I game on one of those there's a big risk I will throw it against a wall. As I sometimes press the small key instead of shift and that drives me crazy.

When you say big, do you mean the backwards L shaped enter keys?

 

[RejZoR]

Yup, exactly that.

 

[micropage7]

looks nice and yes, i agree enter key must be bigger especially when you typing or doing enter much, easier to press without worry you miss and hit the wrong button when you dont see it

Finally! I always miss the space bar and constantly hit the pesky oversize enter key
