Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Switched back to my moonlander for a bit and out the stock caps back on. With this track ball I'm getting some pleasingly retro vibes.

I also put my trackball between my split keyboard! Don't see that setup too much, I really like it

I've been looking into getting a "Huge". How is it to use/ what are your thoughts on it?

[–] BeardoPNW@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

I agree. I really like it. I have the deft from elecom as well and i much prefer the huge. If i go for something different, it will be a Kensington trackball or a ploopy nano.

Just want to chime in and say I adore mine as well. I've used one for years now and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. It is the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.

I have one at both of my desks and it’s the best mouse (trackball or otherwise) that I’ve ever used.

Ditto! I love mine. It reminds me of the ancient trackman marble fx that I owned in 2000. The built quality is great and the battery life is excellent.

I use the wired version, is the wireless rf or bt?
