For me it’s all about major tenting—like nearly 90 degrees—to keep my wrists in a neutral “handshake” position. Having my wrists rotated to be use a keyboard that’s facing straight up gives me carpal tunnel. You could try tenting your Sofle or Kyria to see if that helps.

There are not nearly as many options for choc keys, particularly if you are mainly interested in ascetics.

Yeah, that’s the impression I’ve been getting. Thanks for the links!

That’s so, so cool! At the moment I’m looking for more of the pre-designed sets like I linked to, but I’m bookmarking this for future needs. 😊

I opened this bracing for a condescending tech bro, and that couldn’t be further from what the interview was actually like! As a Developer Advocate and documentarian, I especially appreciated this bit:

Finally, because I’m creating keyboards that are going to be built by multiple people with different backgrounds in DIY, I need to make sure the process goes smoothly. This means that during the design process, the 3d and electronic parts have to be made in a way where it’s expected there will be mistakes. It can and will happen that the screw inserts are not installed properly, the components are installed in reverse, there are shorts and cut traces and burnt plastic. People will make mistakes, and I need to work on making those mistakes less likely to happen, but also make sure that the keyboard is easy to fix.

This is so important, yet so infrequently prioritized. 👏
