Benedikt Ritter (he/him)<p>New desk setup with my Kinesis Advantage 360 Pro. I can't believe how much more comfortable it is to type with this. It's not just about hand positioning. It's the hole body posture that this setup allows. I already love it, also getting started feels like learning touch tyling from scratch 😅</p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/MechanicalKeyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MechanicalKeyboard</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/ErgonomicKeyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ErgonomicKeyboard</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/SplitKeyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SplitKeyboard</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/kinesisadvantage360pro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kinesisadvantage360pro</span></a></p>

Okay so I need to make my own split mechanical keyboard. But I want my keyboard to have dual functions. Both a keyboard and a "micro" PC. After long discussions in Rust Offtopic Matrix room and then Rust Embedded room, I think it's a good idea to use Milk V Duo as the processor for my keyboard. And then add video output(HDMI), speaker/buzzer, microphone and Wifi. A shortcut on the device will switch between micro PC and ordinary keyboard.

An advantage of sophogo sg2002 SoC is that the TRM is fully available in English. This will be useful when I want to enter kernel development later. For now I will just do Linux on it.

A Milk V Duo with 512MB RAM and with Wifi costs only 18 USD.

Can I do left join of people using #emacs and #splitkeyboard? How do you map your modifiers and symbol layers on a smaller keeb? I was almost happy with having a symbols overlay up until I realized that I don't have any practical way to type M-%.

I find the tenting feature on some split keyboards is pretty vital to prevent immediate wrist pain for me

Cheapest options that aren’t cool like the expensive/flashy or diy ones, so no hand-soldering (those can still cost hundreds of dollars):

The Goldtouch semi- #SplitKeyboard has more stable tenting than 90% of split keyboards, and cost less than $100 used

Or the Targus Foldable #ErgonomicKeyboard on an eyeglasses case will let you test the split ergo water for $30

are split keyboards worth the hype? what’s your experience with them vs regular mechanical keyboards + switching between a standard laptop keyboard when out and about to the split keyboard at home?

i don’t have plans to get one now, largely because of how difficult they are to find and the consequent higher costs… the ZSA Moonlander is what i’ve been eyeing for a while, but i’m curious to hear what people think

Continued thread

Glaube es dauert noch ein paar Tage, bis mein Tastaturlayout final ist...🧐😅

Staune aber nach wie vor jeden Tag, wie sehr wir uns normalerweise im Alltag quälen. Die Gewöhnung an gewisse einprogrammierte Abkürzungen setzt jedenfalls schon ein, inzwischen dauert der Wechsel auf ein normales QWERTZ-Layout ein paar Sekunden.

Alleine das Löschen einzelner Zeichen (vorwärts und rückwärts) per einfachem Daumen-Tastendruck von Backspace/Delete und das Löschen von ganzen Wörtern mit einem kurzen Halten der selben Tasten ist super. Copy-Cut-Paste auf einer Taste, dazu ein Clipboard-Manager: genial. Umlaute per Halten der Tasten für A, U und O einzugeben spart satte 3 Tasten und ist für mich viel intuitiver als die separaten und schwer zu erreichenden Umlaut-Tasten.

Habe die Tasten und auch viele Kombinationen inzwischen auf 5 Ebenen verteilt, wobei bei den anderen immer nur wenige Tasten belegt sind. Wenn ich mal fertig bin, packe ich die bestimmt auch mal auf Github.
