Gregory's ServerI'm still on the fence with split keyboards. They look so cool and neat, but I don't see myself getting used to them.

@lopeztel that's also a thing that would probably bug me. Same with layouts. I currently don't want to switch layouts because it would probably just make my life harder if I'm not in my personal environment. 😅 @lopeztel it starts with laptops. Flopping on the sofa with the built in keyboard will feel awkward without the split keyboard. @garritfra I eventually migrated from Minidox to Planck, despite feeling that the essence of split keebs is superior, for 2 reasons: 1. Split keebs that use serial sometimes don’t handle complex mod-tap behavior well, because the connection isn’t fast enough between the halves. 2. Setup of split keebs is a little fiddly, as you’re orienting things in so many dimensions, whereas with a single-slab board you just drop it on the desk and go. Anyway, I kept the same 36-key layout and I’m happy. @garritfra The good part is that, at least in my experience, getting acclimated to a split keyboard doesn’t diminish the ability to type on a traditional keyboard. I use both styles regularly. |
@garritfra I was like that a while back but after getting used to the #lily58 split keyboard I had to make an extra one for the office because I can't code on anything else 😂
