Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

No Buy/Sell/Trade

Can we talk about the Stack Overflow macro pad, though? Do you use it often?

[–] beefsquatch 2 points 4 months ago

Haha no, it's too out of the way, but it looks neat!

Yeah, I was using an Ergodox when I bought this set years ago but now I'm down to ~36 keys so I have quite a few extra lol

That awkward moment when you remember a group buy that you ordered but never received. I wanted to seat these into my mercury65 lol

Looks like you just got yours recently OP? Where did you order yours from? The keeb looks fantastic btw!!

I got mine from Boardsource, last vendor to get and ship them out. It's a whole clusterfuck lol, check out their discord if you want to feel the pain

Oh geez… I’m probably SOL on tracking mine down then, if it even exists at all anymore 😭😭 Thanks for the info tho!!

How do you like that Ploopy? Did you assemble it yourself?

[–] beefsquatch 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've been happy with it, I have it setup with drag scroll and some extra code from reddit to reduce the sensitivity of drag scroll. I bought the fully assembled version. I do wish it was easier/possible to get a different colored ball

Cool. I've always been intrigued by them. I have an Orbit Fusion out in the living room, with a button remapped to allow a grip closer to the classic 2-button Orbit. I just can't quit that scroll ring.

So, there's not one thing in those pictures that I'm not absolutely diggin. Obviously, the keeb, but I mean everything else, from the candle (mug?) to the mat to the green dudes and on. That whole setup is just spectacular!

[–] beefsquatch 2 points 4 months ago

Thanks! The mat is actually from the Space Dust group buy too and the green guys are Kuchi Kopi from Bob's Burgers haha good Kuchi and evil Kuchi

[–] beefsquatch 1 points 4 months ago
