Yes we should. I have a couple Kinesis advantages. Having the ability to have my thumbs do backspace, control and enter are fantastic. I also put symbol keys like {},[],(),`,',~ on the keypad layer that I can easily shift into (I remapped the giant delete key to be keypad shift) so my weak ass pinky fingers don't have to do as much work. For me that's something that gave me the most pain during typing. I'm not really sure what to do for laptop typing though. There's nothing like the Kinesis advantage in a laptop. I'm thinking maybe I can get a laptop with a JIS keyboard and remap the extra keys near space to shift into a layer instead. I wish manufacturers were interested in improving keyboard design and not just how many keys can they remove to save money.
- acidburnNSA 5y agoAfter just reading about those kinesis keyboards I'm still reconciling with the fact the my middle finger is supposed to curl to press c rather than my index finger.
- salamandersauce 5y agoHa, yeah it takes a little bit of getting used to. I pressed v instead of c a lot for the first few weeks.
