Whilst writing that last thread my #Glove80 absolutely shat the bed. Just 100% stopped working. Well, as far as the computer was concerned. As far as the Glove80 is concerned all is hunky-dory 👍
Alas, you need both.
Typing on the Kinesis now with its 18 too few keys. Argh!
Will try and diagnose after dog walking & feeding 🐕 ...
Question for the #hardware geeks.
Every night i take my mac to the living room, bring it back, and plug it in to power with the lid closed. Each morning I plug it into the monitor and open the lid.
Why is it that all of my #bluetooth devices (mouse & airpods) seem to be reconnected just fine, but my #Glove80 split keyboard, & the #Kinesis split keyboard refuse to. I have to restart bluetooth on the computer for them to be connected.
Thinking about my Kinesis Advantage360 (dunno why 🤷♀️) and how i really do prefer its physical aspects to those of the MoErgo Glove80, but it's just unusable to me without an escape key‡. So, I wondered about just adding a single key macropad in the appropriate corner. Then I wondered how hard it would be to make one.
oh no. I watched another video of his & a sponsor gave him a sweet set of resin printing things, so in addition to custom printing the case he made custom printed keycaps which are beautiful. I've been wishing i could do that because ever since the Keyboardio Model 1 I've wanted keycaps that let the LED shine through the transparent letters, but you can't buy any low-profile Choc v1 ones (for the #Glove80 ).
Well, it's taken me 3 months, but i finally cleaned the stuck key in my #Kinesis Advantage Pro 360. I must admit that I was so annoyed with the experience up to that point that I dragged my feet.
In the meantime I've been typing on the MoErgo #Glove80. It's a very decent keyboard with a dramatically superior software experience, when it comes to customizing the layout.
Spent some quality time with my Glove80 and Engram-based layout yesterday. I think this is, in fact, the end game. I’m still at 0 wpm on MonkeyType (having not used it or practiced for a couple of weeks), but it just feels really nice.
It lives!
A functional bridge / spreader bar for the MoErgo #Glove80 . My right half has a tendency to go wandering around the desk and rotating as the day progresses. This leads to a lot of miss typed characters.
They're all good keyboards, but its the Keyboardio that I think longingly about. It's the one I long to use every time I see a picture of someone's.
it's such a good keyboard for many physical & emotional reasons. BUT I derive a lot of value from having a "full" set of keys & not relying on "layers".
Well, according to monkeytype https://monkeytype.com/ if i take the time to correct typing errors (like you would in real life), switching to the #Glove80 has dropped me to ~76 wpm from ~100
The keys are closer together and my fingers are still reaching for the old locations. But considering I've only used it for like half a day total, I'm pretty happy. :D
My #MoErgo#Glove80 came today. I instantly replaced the wired kinesis that I was using as a backup, swapped most of the keys for black ones, and started generating a custom keymap.
Now that I’ve got my custom keymap set up switching to it is surprisingly painless. AND I have more keys so i don't have to do stupid stuff with the escape key.
Although, it doesn't come with a capslock key cap which is...weird.
I plan to buy my first split keyboard (forever) very soon and would like to hear y'all's opinions on the Glove80 (switch: Kailh Choc v1 Brown Tactile) and Moonlander (switch: Kailh Copper or Cherry MX Brown) two. I've already searched for threads and comments on the matter a few days ago through kbin, so any links to them you...
Glove80 vs Moonlander Mark I? [opinions needed]
