Like who exactly is the terrorist here?

weak mediocrities

Surival of the fittest, eh?

Who are these terrorists you're talking about, the revolutionaries or what?

This is my first time actually learning about mechanical keyboards and I will most likely buy something that does not require macgyvering.

I am handy enough to make a simple wooden box, but that's it - I never even got into soldering. It would be nice to learn something new in a spare time, but I'm not sure if that would be a good starting point. What do you think?

That's a good advice. I picked Colemak, though, we'll see how it goes.

I hope you didn't take it the wrong way, I really meant that I enjoy learning it. I decided to go with Colemak, though.

Oh man, that is actually one of the cheapest recommended in that thread. 😄 I found one for 300 PLN. Other ones cost $200 - $350!

That's interesting. I've been recommended Ergodox EZ from that company - I wonder if it's any better. This one is one of the most expensive options, so it sucks that you had bad experience with it. Thanks for the warning.

You're right, these are not that expensive for split keyboards. Too bad that they are not sold in my country, so I would need to consider additional transport costs.

I wonder if macro keys would be recognized by Linux? The configuration software would be unnecessary if I could use basic configuration files for my window manager and define behavior by providing key codes.

Damn, this one really does look like a beast!

It reminds me of my old "gaming" Logitech keyboard that I got as a gift over a dozen years ago (probably much worse quality than yours): https://ibb.co/857R0J0

The screen and macro buttons are not necessary, but I admit that there is some appeal in that approach. I probably wouldn't buy it for myself these days, though. (:

I didn't expect that these things are so costly - I guess I'll have to do some more research tonight before making a final decision. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks. Do you mean Kinesis Advantage or the Kinesis Advantage 360 (the split one)?

This one is freaking cool, but the full package with tilt/tent kit and wing rest costs half of what I paid for my whole PC. 😆

Thanks, I can finally feel like my grandma when trying to figure out which key to press. That's fun (it really is).
