The Ctrl key is located at where the Capslock is for certain Solaris and Unix machines and some Linux users prefer this. I suppose it makes it easier to hit all the Ctrl hotkeys used in programming IDEs.

I showed this to my girlfriend, who recently bought a new computer. She is a web developer. I asked her why it would be useful to swap the Ctrl and Caps Lock keys, but she did not know. Can you explain?

Yeah it’s nice once you get used to it. But I guess that depends on the person, which is why there are non-clicky mechanical switches.

Hmm, you know I’ve been wanting to try out these mechanical keyboards in forever. Hasn’t seemed like a worthy investment at the moment sadly, still looking at the unicomp ones though. :\

Damn…I used to have an old IBM clicky keyboard kicking around, but I think it got thrown out. Twas PS2 and MASSIVe though.

You can throw the Model M into the dishwasher for cleaning, don’t know about the new clicky keyboards though :<

By “membrane keyboard”, I’m not referring to the keys. I mean the rubber membrane underneath the keys replacing mechanical switches. All keyboards use rubber membranes these days.

Hmm I guess I should be clearer. Edited the post to “rubber dome-switch” instead.
