What is the experience like with the fully disconnected sides, do you not struggle to keep them at the correct position relative to each other?
- Ndymium 6y agoI have an Ultimate Hacking Keyboard, which is split like the ErgoDox. I don't find any issue with the positioning. I personally think about keeping them in any position relative to each other, but rather how each hand/wrist feels comfortable with its own half. Currently they are both nearly parallel to the edge of the table and positioned so that my hands are straight, not angled. They have rubber feet so they don't tend to move.
- andreareina 6y agoHow easy is it to get the hand back into home position after using the mouse on the split?
- Ndymium 6y agoI don't know as I don't use a separate mouse anymore, I use the mouse layer on the keyboard itself. My hands don't really leave home position too much. I moved backspace to the right side thumb clicker too, so I don't have to stretch for it.
- selftest 6y agoSuper easy if you have homing indicators on the keys (F and J on QWERTY layouts) like you would on other keyboards, only slightly more difficult if you don’t.
- cjbconnor 6y agoI have an Ergodox EZ, and the rubber feet on it help it stay in place fairly well. The sides move around a little, but never enough for me to notice.
- samatman 6y agoIf anything, the opposite. The correct position is somewhat subjective, and will differ slightly based on the rest of my position, in particular sitting and standing. Being able to fine-tune it is part of the charm. I'd like to try tenting it further than the legs allow, one of these days. But it's quite a capable and comfortable machine out of the box. And the sides are quite solid, they never slide around on the desk in use or anything like that.
