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

@groxx @molly0xfff It's a cylinder within the casing, so the rotation of the cylinder gives you the up/down movement. Left/right is done by the equivalent movement of the cylinder within. It doesn't spring back, but there is a button at end within the housing which sends the pointer out to the extreme in if you run out of movement. (I think! It's been ages since it became intuitive, and I don't have it in front of me right now). I've got a fast cursor, so don't usually hit the ends.

@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 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)
