I've gone full #keeb nerd and added a #trackball to my work setup. 2 x 22inch (55cm) monitors with my laptop screen as a third displaying the keymapp app from ZSA to show me where the keys are on each layer (I'm slowly learning) and now an old trackball which was sitting around in the office. I haven't used one since I was little, so I'll see how I get on with it for a week before I get my own.

Yes, it's fast become my favourite. I had to use a standard keyboard this morning, and it felt so weird!! But it did take me a couple of weeks to get used to the split (even from a non-split ergonomic keyboard). I think it's mainly the matrix layout that's tripped me up, but I'm getting there.
@DodoTheDev@chfkch i have a kinesis advantage 2 for my home office. I love the concave shape, but it’s not portable so I might go for these small ones next—though not any time soon I think 😄
Question for all you #QMK and #MechanicalKeyboards lovers out there: the ErgoDash default layout has a couple of C functions in the keymap file. Do I need (to keep) them?
I'm playing with my keymap for the first time, while waiting for my ErgoDash to arrive.
I've created a few layers and everything compiles. ✌🏻
I don't want to brick the #keeb as soon as it arrives, so I was trying to understand what those functions are for.
