just for everyone else, they usually run a spring/summer sale, so grab a refurb when it pops up, and you should be able to get one for bit over $200

Here is my work keyboard where I get all my real work done



Kailh Copper switches (similar to Cherry Browns but actuate after a shorter distance) with some PBT keycaps from aliexpress, and some tablet stands for the tenting.

I use a layout based on this one but qwerty rather than colemak: https://configure.ergodox-ez.com/layouts/Malb/latest/0

I have a keyboard with browns and it seems like I made a lot of typos with it. but I was mostly using a macbook keyboard and I never quite figured out if it was an adjustment thing or a browns-make-me-typo-a-lot thing.

I can’t really test it any more bc it’s a normal keyboard and my wrists demand I use a split keyboard. but I’m probably going to get a freestyle pro soon and I dont want to get the wrong switches :ohdear:

I typo with browns lots

macbook pro keyboard no and clears no but browns yes

Not pictured, the Logitech mx ergo track ball (aka old man) mouse or my size 14ee clown feet under the desk.

it’s a black widow elite, (as cringey as describing a keyboard as elite is). It has a nice clicky feel and squishy ergo pad, and I work thirds in a dark room, so the blinkey backlights and assignable macros are nice.

So do CODE/WASD boards still have the little daughterboard right next to the arrow keys? I've killed that board with accidental ESD 3 times in my current code board, and I'm getting tired of having to open it up and replace that thing

The blog post makes it seem like nbd but the dactyl and dactyl manuform clojure code is a nightmare to actually modify and this looks well-documented and much more configurable. I might give this a go to make another tiny keyboard for everyone to laugh at. It even lets you print moulds to then make your own custom wristwrests??
