Split keyboard with double middle keys?
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I think having a split keyboard so my mouse can be in the middle would really help my comfort at the desk. Is there a style that doubles up the middle keys? My typing style means sometimes I use my right hand to hit T, left to hit Y, etc.
Is this a style already, or would I need to build my own?
I am completely new to this domain and would appreciate advice from knowledgeable enthusiasts.
Such a simple design change but honestly it's a genius move.
I think going custom is your best option. Keyboard enthusiasts often adhere to their "perfect" touch typing methods, and thus there is often no demand for split boards with these duplicate keys, which is a shame.
Ya. I wonder if a 'loophole' would be adding a row of blank/programmable keys down that middle row. That would make this easy to do, without the purists (80% of the demographic) feeling that it's tainted by being not technically correct.
Oh, that's an amazing idea.
I mean an extra row on both sides, but I assume you figured out what I meant. That's actually a really good place for macro and modifier keys that I never thought of before since they're always in easy reach without lifting your hands. Somebody with more free time than me: Get on this!
You probably meant an extra column, not row, but you were plenty understandable anyway so no worries!
I appreciate you not criticizing my wondering. Thank you.
Does it matter that one person in the world wants something that's not normal? Very unwelcoming. I have to be perfect the moment I present myself or I am wrong. Disappointing. (Not you)
Well most consumer goods always target bigger demographics for higher or safer profit. There simply isnt a market big enough for these niche cases so custom would be the only way unless someone takes a risk and try these out.
Yet there are companies making spaceships for a handful of humans to go to space. People make niche products. The eye-rolling-nopes are not helpful. I think you were just trying to explain how the mind of a business works (only sell to biggest group), but telling me the system sucks doesn't add anything to fix it.
Idk, I'm on midnight brain right now. I should sleep.
The system sucks and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it so stop complaining. Does that help?
No. It was rude though.
That was the point. Youre crying and complaining that others are being assholes and making fun of you and yet youre here, acting like the biggest prick here. If you act like a dickhead then expect the same from others.
Consider that your point was meant to be rude. Cool. What did you want me to do?
You are the one whining about me haha. I'm just trying to get through this and so many people are bashing me. Man. Idc.
I want it, but I'm just using the ms ergo which has a bit of a gap, but not as much as a full split.
