One thing nobody uses: __Your programmable keyboard can emulate the mouse.__ No messing with the OS necessary, take it to any device you want to. Wanna borrow your grandma's laptop for work -- no problem, I'm as productive as on my own machine. I'm not saying tapping the mouse into place is amazing (takes some getting used to), but strictly for work and web stuff, I haven't used a mouse in 2 years now outside of gaming. Or I used my touchpad to aim and keeb to click -- I do my pixelart that way.
I have a 36 key and it totally changed the way I work and how I play games.

DT, I have an idea for a video, what if you tried to live in Windows 11/10 for a month? I am trying to do that right now... Everything is crashing, slow boot and programs take forever to load, my hardware isn't even supported out of the box like on Linux (Thinkpad Dock)
Reminder, this is an i5 5300u and an SSD, 12GB RAM
I'm probably going to go back to Linux after trying Windows again, it just feels unusable.
I don't know, maybe it would probably good content, it would definitely be entertaining.

I need an ISO-Layout for typing german, Of course, one could put speccial characters to a different layer, but it would be really a pain. For that reason, I got a Dygma Raise split keyboard instead of the Ergodox or the Moonlander. I love this split keyboard, so much, that I got a second one for the offic / home. It really helped me with my shoulder/ neck problems.

Having a 2U spacebar is crippling for this keeb. I got the 48 grid variant. I only space with my left, so my right of backspace. If I hold space, it is a shift (no need for 2 then). And to the left of A is escape that acts as Ctrl if held (again, no need for 2, but you could hold Enter for right Ctrl if you wanted).

Distro hopping, WM hopping, VIM-to-Emacs hopping... Now keyboard hopping... Interesting, what will be next? :)
Wish there were nice ortholinear keyboard a bit wider as I need a bit more buttons. But i don't want to solder another one DIY keyboard XD

puzzles me that an open-source advocate like yourself would spend that much money on proprietary keyboards when there's such good open-source alternatives
you could've easily saved several hundred dollars and gotten yourself something much more custom

Best part of a programmable keyboard is how you can customize it to your needs/desires. Planck was my first foray into this new exciting world. Drop Planck rev 4 to be exact. Now I own.. well let's just say -a few- more boards.

how fast can you type on a minimalist keyboard. The main idea would be efficiency. So are people more efficient with fewer keys but more shifting? I have not seen anyone doing a typing test with this keyboard.

Cute little keyboard. But I think if I would have spent nearly $1,000 on 3 keyboards, I would just have to suggest to my wife to just go ahead and divorce me. She doesn't deserve that. :)

tbh, PC games have trained me to always land at WASD. I'm always at D, and apparently I just use my right middle finger arbitrarily spaced for the right side of the keyboard.
