  1. On this day, one year ago. Bought the surprisingly well-built, aesthetically pleasing #8BitDo #C64 retro keeb. Strongly considering another, buss.. ze Phoenix can fly only ven iss fezzers are grown.. #mechanicalkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkeys

  2. aficionados out there, I need your !
    I
    My daily driver is an , that my kid wants next month or so, when mid school will start and I'll probably need to buy a PC for that...
    So, I'm planning to buy a new Pro BT (yes, ) from online store, for me.
    Opinions on that keyboard?
    I could actually buy another identical ErgoDash but I was thinking to try something lighter and smaller.
    Any feedback?

  3. Haven't had a paper printer in forever so nabbed one of them color laser ones (cartridges are a scam and ecotanks ain't much cheaper), which coupled with sublimation paper allows one to do... among other stuff, dyesub keycaps for my custom keyboard!

  4. El Corne v4 es el rey de la ergonomía dividida. Su diseño partido relaja hombros y muñecas al instante, mientras que sus switches hot-swap y su PCB rediseñada hacen que escribir sea ultrasuave. Con capas totalmente personalizables mediante QMK/VIA, todo queda al alcance de tus dedos sin esfuerzo. ¡Un viaje de ida para la salud y productividad! ⌨️🧠

  5. Cool concept, the $230 #OpenAI #Codex Micro. Couldn't resist giving #PolyKybd the same powers in under an hour. 😅
    You can even read the agent status, no color guessing 😉
    Cost: $0. No extra hardware, just firmware. #MechanicalKeyboards

  6. Forget “standard layout.” UHK doesn’t really do standard.

    You can run it split or not split, fine-tune ergonomics with risers, swap modules, and redesign your thumb clusters around how you actually work—typing, gaming, or living inside macros and shortcuts.

    Layer systems on top of that, and the keyboard turns into a fully programmable control surface instead of a fixed input device.

  7. 👋🏼 now it's easier to see what's left: mintlodica.com/collections/wha

    i'd say it's bittersweet, but that would be a lie. super ready to be done. lmao

    help me clear it out. 🙏🏻 esp if you know folks who'd like the light blue magic girl set.

  8. My one IRL #mechanicalkeyboards buddy went ahead and designed a truly custom keyboard. It's got gerber files and everything. Respect.

    I can't go less than 6x4 keys per hand, but I do love the trackball under the thumb.

  9. I learned touch typing with the website monkeytype.¹

    It's a nice website, but it's full of surveillance-capitalism crap, like Google's Firebase. Its developer is a twenty-something five years out of college. He started monkeytype in 2020 while still being in college, so I presume he doesn't know how to achieve his idea in a different way and maybe isn't even aware of the problems that using Google's technology entails.

    Users can already be uniquely identified by their typing patterns.²

    I am thus sceptic of storing extremely detailed information about my keystroke dynamics (like which letters I misspell the most, which of my fingers are strong and which are weak, how many milliseconds lie between certain bi-grams such as 'th', 'ng', 'he', 'lo', et cetera) in a database on Google's infrastructure.

    Knowing Google, they might someday use that information to track me. So I don't want to give it to them in the first place.³ I don't think I'm overly paranoid here.

    Has anyone already thought about this?

    ² en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystrok
    ³ I use monkeytype only while being logged out and blocking all Firebase-related network traffic.

  10. RE: fantastic.earth/@abnv/11467012

    What's the point of these #MechanicalKeyboards if I make an LLM write all my code? Typing on these is such a pleasure. I'm gonna stick to typing by myself, thank you. #AI
