This looks so inconvenient. Glad you like it, but this is 'awful taste, great execution" for me.

I'll make it even worse for you... It's setup for Dvorak.

Well that’s just sensible unlike the rest

Possibly the only good thing about this lol

Wow, when I first opened the image it was squished to 50% width, each key looked like a piano key. That was a real wtf moment.

Beautiful looking keyboard

Kinda shit you'd see an alien using in a sci-fi movie lol

Would totally make sense in a movie since they just hammer random keys and say random things lol

Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know how to answer you exactly. My hands don't hurt. Maybe it's because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.

Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I'd chime in. I'm not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.

Looks nice! I daily drove something like this for a couple of years, then transitioned to a split ortholinear layout, so a bit different but pretty much the same thing.

Has a 3d printed feel from the photo. Did you make the whole thing, case, pcb, keycaps?

[–] transientpunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

No, the keyboard is a kit you can get on Mass Drop. The keycaps were novelty caps from Pimp My Keyboard.
