Gregory's ServerI *really* want to get a #CharaChorder X (https://docs.charachorder.com/CharaChorder%20X.html), but OMFG ~40 quid shipping on an 80 quid USB dongle? Anyone seen them for sale in the UK, pre-imported, by any chance? Or have one to sell on? #CharaChorderX #Chording #Keyboard #Writing

@max I'm a 100% newb at this, so I've neither experience nor any affinity to my current keyboard. The draw of that device, the X, is that it (as I read it) has all the chords for a specific language built in, so that chorded typing Just Works (modulo keyboard compat). Would a QMK keyboard achieve that, or would one have to teach it the chords for all the words one wanted to type? |
@jonathanmatthews good grief, for that kind of money, you can get yourself a decent mechanical keyboard with QMK on it, and program it to your heart's content.
If you're really, really attached to your current keyboard, there's converters, too, like that charachorder, that run QMK as well, but unless you want to get your hands dirty with building it yourself, they tend to be pricy as well.
