A few weeks ago, my precious bespoke designed and hand-built keyboard which my friend made for me around 10 years ago broke. I'm now stuck on a conventional chiclet keyboard, I keep fucking making typos and spacebar doesn't work cause I don't slam it hard enough. Fucking disgusting. I went a bit mental, because it literally cured many years of RPI/carpal tunnel syndrome. It sounds a bit stupid, but I cannot imagine my life without that keyboard. 😿⌨️ Doctors and specialists couldn't cure my RSI for years: they told me to stop using computers and keyboards: absolutely retarded comment to make to someone who's entire life was spent working on a computer. A quality ergonomic keyboard and mouse cured what doctors said could not be fixed... lesson in there. I designed this keyboard and selected every single component with the minimal force needed to reduce friction/wrist pressure/finger travel: from springs, to caps, to size, to physical form factor and split... including custom firmware based on open source... it is very much a reflection of myself and my friend who helped design and build it. Thankfully I got in touch with my pal, and he was more than happy for me to ship it back to him for a full repair and we've designed some upgrades to retrofit it! In a few weeks I will get it back, as a completely wireless device! I am beyond hyped. I will post an update with pics when it's back in its new wireless form! (and yes--an 🦉 is my backspace key--dwi)
