While I've never used this particular keyboard, you may find it interesting. Split halves, with an option for a trackpoint on the right half: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/

If you can settle for MX-style switches that have a very satisfying click, then I'd like to point you to Kailh Box switches. There's a bunch of variations, but Box Jade or Pink (from NovelKeys) have been my favorites. The tactilit

Oh, but here's the thing: I wanted 5x12, and 2x2u. I also wanted to make it compatible with existing 5x12 keymaps, for ease of firmware tweaking. I have an assembled proto, and while it was rough around the edges, it was fun to use.

You totally could, if you were willing to re-solder all of the cut traces. But at that point, you'd be better served by buying a kit to assemble. Custom firmware, choice of key switches, and choice of keycaps are not going to be avai

If you don't need to have the halves be fully separated, you can have an easy time designing a custom PCB, assuming that you can get good/accurate footprints for the switches you want to use. The below PCB is meant to be 'l

I'm also gonna link the ai03 tutorial I used to design/build my own custom board. Text based, multiple pages: https://wiki.ai03.com/books/pcb-design/page/pcb-guide-part-1... Once you build your firs

I pity the poor soul who needs to use multiple key layers in a game, especially SC2. But if you got past Silver League, then you're better than I was in Wings of Liberty. I remember using AutoHotKey back then to swap caps lock and CTRL

If you were to get your hands on a QMK/VIA-powered keyboard, you could tweak the firmware for your own Fn+(anything) to map to Vol+, Vol-. Not the same, but you could have this 'under your fingertips' at all times. I tried th

Ortholinear can be interpreted as 0 stagger, but still takes time to adjust to. However, when I was using ortho at work and ANSI at home, it didn't take much effort for me to alternate. Ortho layouts are also most often used on compact

When I worked in an office, one of my favorite boards to bring to/from was a Tokyo60. 60% HHKB-ish layout, split backspace, ctrl-instead-of-caps, and a classy aluminum case. If you're curious enough to get into designing your own,

Standard keyboards use a mix of 0.25u and 0.5u stagger, depending on the row. The Zlant is a uniform-stagger board I got once as a fun project, but you'll see the stagger difference right away: https://github.com/qmk&#x

I've also burned through the backlog of stuff I 100% wanted to watch, but considering how cheap it is, and how often they add/I discover something nice, I just let it roll. I probably do at least 60% of my movie streaming with Shu

Train to Busan should be available on Shudder. If you have space in the budget for trying out another streaming service, I'd recommend a few months of Shudder over a single rental, if the service seems to be up your alley.

Shudder is my favorite streaming service, and is where I saw "The Wailing", another SK movie. I thought it was fantastic, and occasionally rewatch the exorcism scene on Youtube, just like I would rewatch "ROAD ROLLER" (f

I think it's supposed to be part 1 of a longer series of movies. While I haven't read the book(s?) in ages, I can remember that there's a LOT more that needs to happen.

Some games made me feel remorse for spending, and others are more of a slightly-begrudged feel. It depends on the monetization scheme of the game, and whether that scheme influenced gameplay at all. Grindy stuff with "pay for a boost&q

I've intentionally cancelled my Prime subscription and not been using my parents' account, to make myself get used to waiting for things. I feel like I spend less when I have to wait longer, since I end up leaving things in the ca

Would some kind of toaster-slot mechanism work? Contacts could be on the bottom edge, and with the right shape, you could have them extend a few millimeters onto the front and back, to get contacts on 3 sides.

If the mines are known about, and prevent a location from being used for 2 days, I'd argue that they've done some job of area denial. If someone is sitting next to the minefield waiting for mines to expire, they're not doin

Technically, wasn't it just doing its normal job? It disposed of a bomb, and the suspect was just some convenient collateral.

I have more 'work' to do in figuring out where my pre-gym yawning comes from, but tend to have my burst of clarity/energy once I'm done. Maybe it has something to do with sitting for so long? Not sure yet.

My take on IF is to skip 'breakfast', and allow myself to eat between lunchtime and late evening. Sleeping means I'm not eating, and no morning meal saves me a few minutes of time and effort. It also means that it's easi

One problem I find is that the issue has become extremely polarized in the US, and that there is little room for 'middle ground' opinion. In many cases, it ends up looking like a classic scene of 2 people arguing from emotion, rat

I have no sources on hand and no desire to find any, but I think that OW2 was a partial refactor of OW1, if that makes sense. They'd always planned to sunset OW1 for the release of 2. Ages ago, there was a large update to OW1, which I

The original Overwatch would release new heroes for free, and cosmetics for that hero would be available for random drops/purchase just like any other cosmetic item. In OW2, the new heroes are on tier 55 of the battlepass, if you'

A modern tank can measure its weapon range in kilometers, and explosive shells can be used to destroy buildings or other cover. In my opinion, AFVs are better suited for situations where speed is more important than the absolute firepower o
