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

[ghostflaneur@pixelfed.social]

my fingers are quite confused merely looking at that. But then my greatest curse is that I have muscle memory of a half dozen keyboards, but none of said memory quite works right.

@molly0xfff wow

[pepperthevixen@meow.social]

@molly0xfff Split ortholinear boards, my beloved!

@molly0xfff how :D

[zaneselvans@social.coop]

@molly0xfff Whoa, it actually looks like hands.

[molly0xfff@hachyderm.io]

the Ergodox was also ortholinear with thumb clusters so the transition shouldn't be too difficult, but the default layout on this one is a little different (thumb shift and modifier keys mostly)

@molly0xfff
my type of crazyness

[spzb@infosec.exchange]

@molly0xfff looks like a skate park for your fingertips!

@molly0xfff Molly Keyboardhands is gonna be typing up a storm. I don't think I could handle that kind of power.

[delicta@hachyderm.io]

@molly0xfff it's the most comfortable keyboard that I have ever used period)
I also use Sunaku's keymap https://github.com/sunaku/glove80-keymaps
It's pretty comfortable to have homerow mods

@molly0xfff i ain’t know thing one about ergnonomic keyboards, but GOSH i think this is such a cool-looking design

[zjp@mastodon.social]

Whoa. Had a split keyboard back in the day but went away from it as I was forced to be more mobile. Maybe I should reconsider for my home desk work. 🤔

[molly0xfff@hachyderm.io]

@delicta whoaaa thank you!

[datarama@hachyderm.io]

@molly0xfff I was considering getting one of those until I eventually settled on the Keyboardio Model 100 I currently use.

Took a while to get used to it! I came from a boring old staggered QWERTY CA66.

[tezoatlipoca@mas.to]

@molly0xfff super cool - so question (since the 80 doesn't have the 60's integrated trackpads), do you put a trackball in between them or put a mouse outside of em?

[molly0xfff@hachyderm.io]

@tezoatlipoca mouse outside. i haven't experimented much with trackballs

[kayserifserif@sunny.garden]

@molly0xfff wow! where… is the space bar? is there one?

[ki@chaos.social]

@kayserifserif @molly0xfff
I feel like many users end up building their own layout, so space can be wherever you like! :3 it can even be a chord or you could go full steno with plover

Many, many moons ago (when I still had a desktop computer at home), I had an ergo keyboard. My wife would use it (she had her own login) when I was traveling (which, at the time, was "all the time").

At the time, she had a significant Diet Coke habit. She pretty much never didn't have a can with her. One day, while working at my computer, she knocked her can of soda over …and into the keyboard. Things did not end well for the keyboard. Ultimately, it needed to be replaced (and she was banned from using that computer).

I've been working pretty much exclusively from laptops the past fifteen-plus years. I sorely miss having an ergo keyboard. My wrists sorely miss me having an ergo keyboard. Sadly, I no longer have a place to set one up.

Side-benefit of ergo keyboards: if you're working in a hot-desking environment, it's a great way to ensure that no one "borrows" your work-area.
