Not my first mech keyboard, but definately my first custom keyboard and my first ortholinear. Picked it up during the DefCon conference this weekend.

I am looking for replacement for this standard keycap with windows icon. I would like ro get something with linux iron. I prefer backlit. I can buy also whole keycaps set with nice super key. I was searching whole internet and always it was only sticker with linux or out of stock.

Low profile keyboard compatible with choc switches

Low profile keyboard compatible with choc switches

I am looking for a low profile keyboard compatible with the choc switches. I plan to put the choc sunset on it. I was looking for something similar to the Corne, just without the ergo-split thing. A standard 65-75% would work.

A useful way to integrate function keys in to layout on Moonlander or Ergodox?

A useful way to integrate function keys in to layout on Moonlander or Ergodox?

Has anyone found a good way to include function keys (i.e. F1 - F12) in to their layout on the Moonlander or Ergox EZ?

I have tried adding double tap to the numbers row but find myself accidentally double tapping while typing (e.g. 1223). I tried tap and hold but found that it would often end up detecting a held key (i.e alt+F4 F4 F4).

I am looking through Moonlander layouts in Oryx but am not finding any good ones. It looks like many don't even include the function keys.

Edit: I'm looking for a good way to do Ctrl+Alt+F[num] or Alt+F[num]. Without having to switch layers... if there is even a good way.

Looking for light keyboards that don't sacrifice on feel

Looking for light keyboards that don't sacrifice on feel

Right now I use a DURGOD Taurus which I love (Cherry brown switches), and I take it back and forth from work every day I work at the office.
Unfortunately though it's getting quite heavy for me to carry so often, and I'm a bit worried about its effect on my back.

The laptop bag I use has some pretty good support, so I'm not sure if a better bag would solve the problem.

Are there any travel keyboards that are super light but also have good mechanical switches? As a programmer I need the function keys, the arrows and the keys that are usually above them (Home, Insert etc). I couldn't care less about the numpad.
