This post might nerd snipe you and destroy your life. Stop reading here. Keyboards are a rabbit hole but I spent at least a week of my life searching and trying out existing optimized layouts. Then I got fed up and tried to optimize my own keyboard layouts on my own corpora. All this snowballed once I realized how massive the ergonomic and RSI problems with QWERTY are.
- microtonal 4y agoI went down the rabbit hole and came out realizing that the Kinesis Advantage2 is just a fantastic allround ergonomic keyboard. Kinesis has been at it for 25-30 years and seem to have a good idea of the trade-offs and have found an (probably local) optimum. I still like building keyboards as a hobby, it’s a lot of fun (but expensive). But none have felt so good so far as the Advantage (which felt great from day one). I’d love to buy a 360, but the price is a bit steep…
- Aeolun 4y agoI think I tried everything and realized that I just wasn’t bothered enough by my bog standard keyboard to try and learn anything else.
