Why havent you taken the split keyboard pill yet /g/? Its scientifically proven to help with multiple problems and has no learning curve if you know touch typing
Too expensive for what it is.Not worth it.I can use my normal keyboard all day with no issues already.
>>108523125I want this:One hand typing while eating at my computer isn't negotiable.
>>108523125I don't suffer from gender dysphoria
>>108523125>no learning curveI am learning my Voyager for 5 months now and it is an endless pain in the ass to remember and execute fastly all fucking combinations spreaded between 3 different layers. And it is after pain in the ass of making and adjusting these layers usable for my not really hardcore coding needs. Oh, and it is only for one of the languages I use on my keyboard, most likely when I start to learn second one, more adjustments will be needed.I still think that is a good thing to have and use, but learning curve is very steep and I so far I retreat to 80% layout keyboard every time I need to do real things and can't mess around trying to guess key
I don't stick things in my anus
too expensive
>>108523125I have a helix but between my cheap chink iron and my lack of skill it keeps developing cracks in the solder which make it double press and then I have to resolder.I really do miss having a macro layer and thumb buttons.>>108524111I don't know how you have that problem.Although I did set my own mod layer to what was intuitive for myself.
SPLIT GANG
>>108523125i'm straight
>>108524567
>>108523125Does this even have number and function keys?
>>108523125I already use an ergodox. I'm hoping to get a Dygma Defy someday but I'm too poor so it's going to be a long time until I get it.
I made my own Silakka54 clone. Somehow splits worked for me from day 1, I was back at my old letter typing speed in about 3 days and layers didn't take that long either. They probably just aren't for everyone.
>>108523999> if you have some unique way of doing things you're a trannyOk.
>>108523131fpbpThey cost ridiculously more than a membrane keyboard and still significantly more than a good mechanical keyboard and no matter which of those you prefer it isn't worth the markup.
>>108523131>Too expensive for what it is.>>108526726>significantly more than a good mechanical keyboardI got a mechanical split, wireless, rechargable, easy to use and live updating programming UI all for $75. the quality is unironically nice too. based chinkshttps://aliexpress.com/item/1005010096398129.html
>>108523125If I get 2 normal keyboards, cut them in two with wiring preserved and plug them both in, I would get the same thing. One controller for each half of the keyboard.And it's probably going to be cheaper, am I right?
>>108523125I got the cheap mechanical keyboard. The only downside is the clicky noise (which I dont mind) and the fact that I have replaced some switches via basic soldering. 30 euros and no regrets lol
>>108523125The split keyboard market sucks. Very few are made with regular layouts and a sensible number of keys. And I'm not even talking about OP level faggotry. Just garden variety faggotry such as having no F keys or no Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDown block. It always has to be some faggy 14.88% layout with a whole bunch of common keys hidden behind Fn. I don't need a Num block but I damn well want all the other fucking keys present as physical fucking keys and in the expected fucking location. But that's not possible because the faggots who make "ergonomic" keyboards love to men-struate over placing keys in weird and unexpected places or omitting them entirely.The last good split keyboard was the Fujitsu-Siemens KBPC-E and it's been EOL for a long time. And it sucked as well because it was hinged rather than having a between halves.
>The last good split keyboard was the Fujitsu-Siemens KBPC-E and it's been EOL for a long time.Looks just like a kinesis freestyle, which is cheap and available
>>108526997> such as having no F keys or no Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDown blockYou don't need them unless you're a 40-year-old accountant with no computer skills.
>>108523125>40% layoutHipster shit with way too few keys.>wavy standard keyboardLayout's as it should be (fuck ANSI Enter, though) but it don't come apart.>>108524111>I am learning my Voyager for 5 months now and it is an endless pain in the ass to remember and execute fastly all fucking combinations spreaded between 3 different layersThis right there is why hipster keyboards suck. Do you get off on pain or something? Do you really not see anything wrong with the contortions you are putting yourself through?>>108526324>Nonstandard keys galoreThe kind of faggot who designs a keyboard like that needs to die in a fire.>>108526706>if you have some unique way of doing things you're a trannyCan we maybe not overdo the "unique" bit and have a NORMAL FUCKING SET OF KEYS?>>108526870Yep. Usually the circuit board is printed on a transparent sheet of plastic so basically you remove the unused half's case from both sides and duct tape the circuit board to the bottom.
>>108527062> Can we maybe not overdo the "unique" bit and have a NORMAL FUCKING SET OF KEYS?Nobody is taking your (((normal))) office-goy-cattle keyboards from you, sweetie :)
>>108527013Not quite. The kinesis has the Home/End/Ins/Del/PgUp/PgDown in a nonstandard locaction because apparently it is not permitted to build an "ergonomic" keyboard without hipstering at least some keys to where they don't belong.
>>108527020>You don't need them unless you're a 40-year-old accountant with no computer skills.Tell me you never used a Linux system's text console without telling me you never used a Linux system's text console.
>>108527104>sweetie :)Would you like a shot of estrogen with that?
>>108527062>remove the unused half's case from both sides and duct tape the circuit board to the bottomYou're god damn genius. Listen, you looking for a business partner rn? How about a little side-hustle?We make 10k of these, shill it reddit to manchildren and make a fortune.But I haven't figured out what to do the discared halves of the keyboards. Do we paint them and sell as exclusive repleceable keycaps?
>>108523125If there was one with 45g Topre switches I would buy it in a heartbeat.But there isn't, so while I desire the split, I can live without a split easier than I can live without my Good Feeling of Oneness With Cup Rubber
