I prefer the retro aesthetics of the TOS Type 1, especially for the integrated Type 1, but regardless, itโ€™s an excellent choice for the reason you state: itโ€™s a very versatile tool!

Neither is Madonna. Those arenโ€™t pictures of dead boomers, just famous ones.

Iโ€™ve had this ErgoDox for, like, 6 years. It has underlights, but no backlights, but also no home row keys. The entire time Iโ€™ve owned it, in the dark Iโ€™ve struggled to find the home row, often taking seconds to find my finger placement by feeling the edges of the keyspace. Itโ€™s been a constant source of irritation, but it never occurred to me to just buy some home row caps.

Anyway, I was tidying up to office the other day, and found a little packet that came with the keyboard containing home row caps. FML, but with a silver lining, right?

In the process of swapping out those two caps, I completely broke the J switch. So now Iโ€™m (temporarily) using a Kinesis Gaming keyboard and learning an object lesson about how utterly miserable row stagger is.

My point is that backlighting would probably have saved me a lot of grief; not as much as home row keys, but still better than nothing.
