with great sadness i had to retire my trusty Ergodox Infinity, but: new keeb!

@molly0xfff people really really love their glove 80s. Hope you enjoy the feel and the soft easy keyswitches and that your hands and brain love you for it.

@molly0xfff I made so many typos with this thing until my hands relearned where everything was:

@molly0xfff out there typing like she’s driving a Battle Mech.

@molly0xfff RIP

@molly0xfff I recently discovered the community firmware that gives you per-key RGB control and this is incredibly useful for my gaming layer that shifts a bunch of keys over by one so WASD is usable. I no longer have to think "wait is this one of the keys that I moved or is it normal?"

@beep @molly0xfff I can personally attest it feels amazing too! And reasonably priced relative to its competitors.

@molly0xfff I’m currently wondering if my ergo keyboard was a good idea. It is also ortholinear and while I have adjusted well to it, I’m now lost on a regular keyboard. Using my laptop as a laptop is now an exercise in frustration.

@wookieeboy oddly enough I seem to have two brain slots for "desk keyboard" and "laptop keyboard". going between my Ergodox and my laptop was no problem but when I had to briefly use a standard layout external keyboard at my desk it was very weird

@molly0xfff Ooh, I just got a Glove80 earlier this year! I moved from a 3D-printed hand-soldered one to this and missed my favorite mod: holding both layer keys to trigger “Hyper” (control-option-shift-command) for a bunch of custom shortcuts.

If that’s helpful for you, I’ll share the repo where I implemented it. You can use it with any layout and I’ll eventually get around to fixing up a PR to go upstream for ZMK itself.

@seth super handy! i’ve been using a layout based on TailorKey, which also has a hyper key shortcut (though triggered with different keys: https://sites.google.com/view/tailorkey/moergo/glove80/hotkey-glove80?authuser=0)
