it is really thoughtful of you to consider helping but do NOT do this on your own. one misstep and its $1m lawsuit time.

In terms of software I'm aware of Dasher, don't know what state the software is in these days but it's a more efficient way to type with just a pointing device: https://www.bltt.org/software/dasher/

most importantly, special mobility needs are individual to the person, and there's no responsible way of helping them without learning their individual circumstances. the best you can do is to make sure that you can offer them time, breathing space, and qualified assistance to get set up properly, at which point it would be appropriate and courteous to breach the subject

Thanks all, this is why I asked here before saying a drat thing. Still happy to collect info on what is out there but I'll be much more thoughtful about when/if I'm going to discuss it with him.

Lord help me I'm thinking of spending >$300 on one of those moonlander keyboards. It feels boojie as hell but I am using the computer most of the day and my wrists and fingers are starting to feel it. I do still have to use a regular laptop keyboard fairly regularly, has anyone here successfully gotten comfortable switching between ortholinear and staggered layouts?

I got a moonlander and yeah it's a significant comfort difference for me. Like night and day for my shoulders at the end of the day. Definitely took a little getting used to though, and the default layout is hot garbage imo. I can throw mine up in a pastebin or something if you're curious.

I've got an Ergodox EZ, the precursor to the Moonlander, and I loved it... except for the missing F-row. So I bought a Keychron Q10 (75% "Alice" style) which I also love, but now I miss the thumb clusters on the Ergodox. If you really adapt to it, you will have issues going back and forth to normal keyboards. There's just no way around it. Not major, but "doh, I meant to type =, not Backspace" will be frequent the first few hours of any shift one way or the other.

I think the biggest thing I'll be missing is the ten-key which I use a lot, but I figure the layer functionality should be good enough to cover for that.

I do still have to use a regular laptop keyboard fairly regularly, has anyone here successfully gotten comfortable switching between ortholinear and staggered layouts? im in a similar spot, if only trying to get ahead of the spot where my wrists and fingers are starting to feel it, and i've got moonlander on its way, so you can ask me in a few months on how it's working out. trying a qwerty split didn't work for me, since i ended up literally never using it in split mode, so the idea now is that i use qwerty keyboard the same way 99% of people use them, and then i have an ergo split where i just go whole 9 yards and do colemak dhm layout, tenting, combos/homerows/whatever, and hopefully learn it as "separate device class" from "normal keyboard", and don't have to do "uhhh how to use this" when switching, past the first sentence or whatever

Oh but if you change to a whole new layout that'll take 3-6 months depending how studious you are. I've learned both dvorak and the maltron one-hand layout and it's not a small commitment. Frankly, imo, if you can't muster the willpower to learn a split keyboard forget an alternative layout.

Primary goal is to get as much as possible available within the main three key rows, using mod-tap functionality for layers and modifiers to save space.The f keys on L_2 probably look weird as hell but it's what I'm adjusted to, don't sleep on F13-24 too, 12 free shortcut keys to assign in pretty much every program. Caps word fuckin' rules too, way more useful than caps lock.

we usually did cron jobs with sounds -- hasselhoff songs, klaxons, etc. i think the most evil we got was the random offset cron job that played gsm interference noise

Gotta get the extreme 45 degree tenting going with the split though, makes the whole thing really click comfort wise. The Moonlander platform thing is nice for that, but pretty overpriced if I'm being honest. Could probably 3d print something to accomplish the same thing, or even a resourceful trip to the hardware store or something.

hello again "jerks" so i work for the government and have to use a windows computer with no admin privs. the antimalware blocks the keychron and nuphy boards' USB input because ~security~ as they have onboard storage or something. wireless works but it still triggers the nag screen and logs it. i'm trying to find a kb without onboard storage/usb hub features that won't trigger some IT person to yell at me. i want ~65% / 75 keys. slim to win wired brown or red switches don't care about gamer LEDs cute colorful caps a plus any recommendations? btw i'm selling that nuphy kb right here!!
