btw - have you seen/tried anything like the 'tractyl' [0] or ultimate hacking keyboard[1] ?
I used to use a trackball full-time, and I'm wondering how well a lil 'thumball' works...

- packetslave 6y agoTractyl looks pretty neat, but I think I'd miss my thumb keys too much. I looked pretty closely at the UHH, but I think it would be the same issue as the Ergodox -- I'm too used to the scooped keybed of the Kinesis, which makes the reach between e.g. K and 8 short enough that I notice when it's not there on a flat keybed.
- mech422 6y agoYou could have the trackball on one thumb and the thumb cluster on the other... I have a couple of crooked fingers from breaks that didn't heal completely straight, and I think I'm getting arthritis. So I'm trying to maximize usage of my 'strong' fingers. I should really try a kinesis sometime. Everyone that has one seems to love them...
