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

Can we talk about the Stack Overflow macro pad, though? Do you use it often?

[–] beefsquatch@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

Haha no, it's too out of the way, but it looks neat!

That awkward moment when you remember a group buy that you ordered but never received. I wanted to seat these into my mercury65 lol

Looks like you just got yours recently OP? Where did you order yours from? The keeb looks fantastic btw!!

[–] beefsquatch@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I got mine from Boardsource, last vendor to get and ship them out. It's a whole clusterfuck lol, check out their discord if you want to feel the pain

[–] Daze@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Oh geez… I’m probably SOL on tracking mine down then, if it even exists at all anymore 😭😭 Thanks for the info tho!!

[–] evo@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah, I was using an Ergodox when I bought this set years ago but now I'm down to ~36 keys so I have quite a few extra lol

How do you like that Ploopy? Did you assemble it yourself?

[–] beefsquatch@programming.dev 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been happy with it, I have it setup with drag scroll and some extra code from reddit to reduce the sensitivity of drag scroll. I bought the fully assembled version. I do wish it was easier/possible to get a different colored ball

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Cool. I've always been intrigued by them. I have an Orbit Fusion out in the living room, with a button remapped to allow a grip closer to the classic 2-button Orbit. I just can't quit that scroll ring.

So, there's not one thing in those pictures that I'm not absolutely diggin. Obviously, the keeb, but I mean everything else, from the candle (mug?) to the mat to the green dudes and on. That whole setup is just spectacular!

[–] beefsquatch@programming.dev 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks! The mat is actually from the Space Dust group buy too and the green guys are Kuchi Kopi from Bob's Burgers haha good Kuchi and evil Kuchi

[–] beefsquatch@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago
