The mouse is just as big of a problem.
I honestly don't understand why there are (almost) no keyboards with a built-in mouse. Being able to perform at least some mouse movements without moving your hand(s) off the keyboard is great.
Yes, I'm aware of the Lenovo keyboard that comes with a trackpoint. I had one for several years before accidentally killing it. The mouse part is great but it's not ergonomic in any other regard which is a deal breaker.
- maximus-decimus 5y agoOn my ergodox ez, I mapped some keys on a layer to move my mouse using vim keys, to do a mouse scroll with the keys just under and to do left/middle/click with the keys above. it is not great, but it is functional. I am not 100% sure, but I think that's supported by any keyboard using QMK
- tokai 5y agoRollermouse and other similar bar mice solves this for me perfectly. Trackpoint gives me too much hand strain if used +7 hours a day.
- taeric 5y agoGlad to see rollermouse named. Is my answer for this case, as well.
- maltalex 5y agoThanks for the suggestion. Never heard of the Rollermouse. It doesn't seem to be a good fit for ergonomic keyboards, which is a deal breaker. But still, an interesting product.
- tokai 5y agoYeah they don't really jive with oddly shaped keyboards. Only thing I can think of that might suit your needs would be a trackball, placed in front of your keyboard between your arms.
