I don't really understand why people want such tiny keyboards.
The most comfortable (and healthy!) way to type is to have your hands a shoulderwidth apart so you don't have to compress your arms.
I used an ergodox infinity for a while which was fantastic in terms of back pain but terrible in terms of everything else.
I currently use a Kinesis Advantage 1 which I'm tempted to dremel in half so I can get proper separation. It's that or learn how the Dactyl is configured so I can add enough keys to it to be useful :/
- ZekeSulastin 7y agoAren’t the Ergodoxen already two separate units it is there a cable limitation? I was looking at buying one or a similar split keyboard for the reason you stated.
- Normal_gaussian 7y agoThe Ergodox EZ is connected by a replaceable standard 3.5mm (male to male) cable; I presume most ergodoxes are the same.
- lexicality 7y agoThey are and that works fine, but the infinity has a really bad case that I had to modify just to stop it sliding around on my desk. Also I had one from the bad batch whose USB ports would occasionally rip off the board taking its traces with it (and mine did)
- Symbiote 7y agoIf 6x6 is enough, there's someone on Reddit in the USA who makes custom printed Dactyl/Manuform cases: https://www.reddit.com/user/crystalhand/comments/96xu7g/3d_printed_dactylmanuform_cases/ https://www.reddit.com/user/crystalhand/comments/96xu7g/3d_p...
- CarVac 7y agoIf your keyboard is angled outward then you can bend your elbows and still have your hands close together when typing.
