How I set up my keyboard for unparalleled ergonomics and portability

6 points

Super clever way to have a portable setup that you organize once and move around with you. I wish your post had even more pictures of the way you put everything together.

It’s so clever I might want to do something just like that…

Lol, I talked myself out of adding more photos. 😁 I’ll happily go back and add more, and comment again when I’m finished.

Yea please! I’m such a nerd when it comes to the “how it’s made”. Will happily look at however many photos you put of your setup. (And the name of the accessories that you’re using too)

For example what’s the black base that you’re using for your split boards?

What are the little pink dots on the keyboard?

Stickers! To help me know which row I’m touching.

Where can I get stickers like that?

They’re often called “jewel” or “gem” stickers, and these are the ones I have. I just had them on hand from an earlier project (bedazzling Flo masks!), so most of the stickers in that pack aren’t suited to the keycap use case.

So far they’re staying on well, but if they start falling off I’m going to try using silicone glue to keep them on.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn’t exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
