Classic vs modern keyboard layout?

[Air tree]

Well I'm considering getting the wasd v2 and i have the option of going with the modern layout or the classic layout and i was wondering your preference and what is all the differences.

Modern keyboard layout, is side printed + modern legends counted?

Dvorak...

What is the difference? isnt it qwerty?

[Austin Powers]

I grown up using Qwerty all the way till today. Never heard of Colemak and Dvorak until I enter to compete a typing race.

I've been using QWERTY since I got a computer so that's what I stick with.

Do you play games at all? Dvorak means having to rebind all your keys for damn near everything.

Well the classic i'm refering too is the what wasdkeyboards calls classic and from i seen is still qwerty just a different version of qwerty.

WASD site is down for me today, trying to figure out what the differences are from the posts so far.

Classic

Modern (not including the different colours and numpad)

Rage quit...

 

I'd go with classic.

[Austin Powers]

How about white keycaps with black legends? Modern or classic? I'm still unconvinced.

[Trail Mixorz]

uhh, they both look the same to me, am I missing something here?

 

EDIT: OH maybe the words on the certain keys? (ex. rage and quit on alt f4)

It's just simple things, like the arrows on some keys. i thought it was a bit more, i feel like a made a pointless thread now.

It's not pointless, you just didn't make your point very well. Your classic picture was of a filco, rather than the classic wasd, so maybe there are differences we can't appreciate. Personally I prefer the arrows on enter/backspace/shift/tab. I think I'd rather they removed the words and kept the symbols than doing it the other way round.

I could always do that since it is a wasd keyboard i'm getting you can do anything you want haha!
