▲ 53 ▼ Prototype homemade ergo split MkII (lemmy.world) submitted 3 years ago* by WFH@lemmy.world to c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world 9 comments fedilink hide all child comments Thanks to everyone here for the suggestions. Key pitch is now 19mm, I've removed the top row and added a second index column. I'm not really pleased with the arrow pad placement, but I haven't found any better place yet. I'm still working on the layout...
[–] WFH@lemmy.world [S] 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Yeah but I really like having physical arrow keys 😅 I've never been a fan of the vi-style keys. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RustedSwitch@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I understand what you’re saying, but what I hear is “I want unitask keys that only do one thing, and are objectively harder to reach”. To me this lessens the effectiveness of this sort of build. Don’t get me wrong, you do you! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WFH@lemmy.world [S] 2 points 3 years ago I always program my arrow keys to have PgUp/PgDn/Home/End, so technically they do two things 😅. I'm working on the layout and all of the layers are crammed already. I may have to abandon features tho, the way I see it I would need to free 8 keys on the function layer to make things work. permalink fedilink source parent
