@astra how on earth do you use this aaaaaaaa
@kimpegasus so like, there's a number of tradeoffs. one thing, you have to learn to type ortholinear, which means your hands have to move less (bc it's smaller) but also there's less side-to-side. and you have to set up the layers of stuff in a way that works for you, which is trial and error. also it helps to know how to program for it in QMK.
then there's the missing keys. see those two double keys where the space bar should be? the left one is my enter key. i got used to this from typing on
@kimpegasus my other keyboard which looks like (see attachment)
in short? this is just literally me being a huge nerd and fucking up my typing skills, my wallet, AND my free time because i think weird keyboards are really cute
also maybe i have some negligible productivity gains from being able to program in macros and type in a more customized way
@kimpegasus oh also the keycaps? i can generally feel out modifier keys, so i don't need those labeled. the alphas are another story. i need them labeled to ground myself now and again
@astra That is all very crazy to me, but like, it's just another layout like Dvorak so you do you. :P
I only got my first ever real mechanical keyboard relatively recently so it's all mysterious to me.
