with great sadness i had to retire my trusty Ergodox Infinity, but: new keeb!
-
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)
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 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@delicta whoaaa thank you!

@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.

@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?

@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. -

Right thumb pad, lower row, far right.

@molly0xfff so, these look very pretty, I've used Microsoft ergonomic keyboard for many years now.
How does one know which style of these fancy keyboards would fit? How did you know you would like this concave shape instead of a regular tenting approach?

@molly0xfff wait… is your pinky usually on "o" or on "p"? Am I typing wrong?

@molly0xfff Would love to try something like that, although I'm a fraudulent touch-typer, so it might be a painful transition. Also, I use a RollerMouse, and that's unlikely to play nicely with this sort of thing.

@molly0xfff VERY swank!
I love my #ZSA #Moonlander #keyboard!
I still find myself occasionally wondering where a particular obscure key went (Where the heck IS PrntScrn anyway?) but that's a tiny price to pay for the overall huge productivity boost!

@molly0xfff super interested in hearing how it goes. I’ve been eyeing this and their Go60

@SolarDavy if you're lucky you have friends who are into ergo keyboards who will lend you one to test drive. in this case i already knew i loved the ergodox and so wasn't concerned about the ortho layout or thumb clusters, and i was willing to take a chance on the concave keywells

I got my Framework laptop with the clear keycaps and I could type fine but then remembering what the function keys did was such a pain in the ass.

@molly0xfff If you need to do any re-training on the new keyboard, ZSA gave away a copy of Epistory and it's $5 right now on Steam!
