(#xnn7djq) @david I had the Kinesis a few years back. I sent it back after a couple of weeks, because the typing experience was *really* bad. :/ Very soft and wobbly. Maybe newer models are better, I don’t know.

(#xnn7djq) @movq Wouldn't be anything for me either. He has put the cursors and the number block on the home row and swears by the neo layout.

(#xnn7djq) @~duriny Ohh, right, that one! 😲 Maybe I can hunt one down one day, but I bet it’ll be super expensive. It’s too bad that Unicomp don’t make these things anymore.

(#xnn7djq) @lyse Ergodox looks interesting, although super weird. 🤣 My current keyboard still has a standard(-ish) layout, it’s just split, so it’s not *that* unusual to type on it. The UHK also looks interesting and it has an amazing modular design. Super expensive, of course.

(#xnn7djq) @movq A friend uses Ergodox EZ, not sure whether that's something for you.

(#xnn7djq) @david Oh, and if you think you can’t type on that thing: I made a “tenting” device using my 3D printer, so the hands/arms are in a more natural position, and used that for a (short) while. *That’s* a weird feeling! 🤣

(#xnn7djq) @~duriny Oh, wait, I didn’t mean to say Unicomp is dead. 🤣 I meant to say: It’s sad that they don’t make *these* things anymore, meaning just that split model.

(#xnn7djq) @movq Wow, that's a very cool tent. I'm pretty certain, I couldn't type a single word on that thing, though. ;-) I'm using standard keybaords, nothing fancy whatsoever. So what exactly is the issue with the rubber keys? Keys are not returning to their home positions? The keys are sticky?

(#xnn7djq) @david Ha! 😃 Yeah, that thing is quite funny. There are magnets in it, so you can put it back together. When people don’t know it’s a split keyboard, you can pretend to break it in half! 😂 I’m willing to try a different one, yes. I’m in the process of acquiring a(nother) Model M. 😍 And then maybe switch between the Model M and the split keyboard, or something like that. Both have their advantages.

My nice split keyboard, which I actually like a lot, has one obvious horrible flaw: It’s a rubber dome keyboard. Typing on it was pretty nice when it was *new*, but now it’s pretty weak, whishy-washy, floppy. 😢 I wish there was a version of it with buckling springs.
