Poor Man's Kinesis Keyboard: The K'Nexis Keyboard (2005)
- __s 2y agoPretty clever, but another option is home row mods https://precondition.github.io/home-row-mods https://precondition.github.io/home-row-mods See KMonad section for using with QMK compatible keyboard, but there's budget QMK compatible options like https://www.microcenter.com/product/661264/a https://www.microcenter.com/product/661264/a

- Zambyte 2y agoAs someone who does not have fingers that angle to the left, I think perhaps even more important than the thumb cluster is having a columnar or ortholinear layout. I switched from a staggered QWERTY layout to a split, columnar layout similar to the Kenesis (ZSA Moonlander) with Dvorak, and I feel like the columnar aspect was probably the biggest improvement for my hand health. I also recommend moving control to the location commonly used for caps lock if you're specifically struggling with your pinky hitting control like the OP.
