Re: "Anyone else having custom keyboards?"
Comment in: s/mechanical-keyboards
you werent the only one motivated by pain :) i get horrible nerve pain in my arms when using a normal keyboard, so I had to stop. It took me months of fine tuning my setup, but ultimately the biggest factor for my body was the tenting angle/avoiding forearm pronation; i currently hang out around 70 degrees and it's wonderful.
I also didn't get much faster when I switched; I swapped from qwerty -> colemak-dh as well, and my PB went from about 100wpm to...
(dramatic pause)
...about 105wpm

Nothing custom just yet. However in the medium term I'd like to buy a Ploopy Nano and build it into a replacement bridge for my Charachorder One.

@lypanov that sounds like quite an exotic setup! About the charachorder one, how long does it take to learn and have you tried it for programming?

Right now just learning. Though I hope to begin some basic programming tasks later on in the year. For now I pref

I have three Keychron keyboards and the Nuphy Air60.
Oh, and the Vortex CORE, which is the smallest mechanical keyboard I've ever used!

Anyone else having custom keyboards? — Some non-gemini friends insinuated that there would be an overlap between geminauts and mechanical keyboard nerds. Let's test that hypothesis! I (their only data point) have been daily driving my gherkin 30% keyboard for well over a year now (or is it two?) for fun and profit. Before that I had two planck 40%. How small is too small? What are you using? Am I alone here?
