XO-1.5 HS version announced

[ismael schinca]

The smaller "ñ" key is a pity. Maybe the ctrl key in the left could have
been shorter? The "ñ" is frequently used in spanish. Definately more than
"w" or "k" for example. I guess field testing will prove if the smaller key
next to the "enter" key ends up being a problem or not.
The arrow layout is awkard, but I guess that was a necessary compromise.
