notes on keyboard shortcuts in maya & 3ds max

while i like the keyboard shortcuts in maya a lot since they seem all organized and are sort of easy to remember but in comparison to 3ds max there’s less freedom of defining those shortcuts. but you know what? i don’t really care since i was a hardcore mouse user before and as i’m relearning now i’m happy with the keyboard layout as it is in maya right now. i’m struggling a bit with some keyboard layout issues (i’ve got a swiss german keyboard layout) which breaks some standard shortcuts – but most work fine. should i save money for a real geeky maya keyboard?
