Previously, I wrote a whole tirade about why I dislike MT3 keycaps.
Now, looking at the currently running group buy for MTNU, I am happy to see that many of the points of critique about MT3 have been resolved:
- The legends are cleaner and much larger, on par now with AFSA.
- There is a dealer for Europe.
- Like AFSA, the keycap height has been much reduced compared to SA, whilst maintaining (most of) the cylindrical profile. This is the most significant improvement for typists who prefer low typing angles.
However, I am still sceptical about the inclination angle of R1, which has been much reduced compared to SA. This reduces legend visibility and probably also typing comfort. As with MT3, Matt3o persists in sinning against this. Nonetheless, The proof of the pudding will be in the eating.
I do like the crossed zero legend. Having a twisted brain and with the letter O and the digit 0 being located next to one another, I sometimes mix those up. That will no longer happen with these legends:
The F10 key and the numpad zero are similarly styled.
