floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> @KMyers @Ivoriesablaze found a picture on reddit of both the keyboards we were talking about https://i.redd.it/jivktltnr2x01.jpg | 23:39 |
---|---|---|
floridagram-bot3 | <ahoneybun> Someone has that keyboard at the office. He 3D printed it and the keys. | 23:45 |
floridagram-bot3 | <ahoneybun> The one with the orange keys. | 23:45 |
floridagram-bot3 | <Ivoriesablaze> yeah, we're all gonna give that a shot as well, i think | 23:45 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> It looks like the dactyl really is 1:1 with the kinesis without the bulk and is a little smaller than the manuform (the brown one) | 23:47 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> I like the idea of the layers and that I can take it with me as portable, which complements the kinesis | 23:48 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> @KMyers That numberpad in the middle, I imagine you could do something like that or another custom keypad for your arrow and special keys | 23:49 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> or just use a keyboard layer | 23:49 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_list&c=57 looks like they average about a dollar per switch and the dactyl has about 70, but I think some distributors you can get it for under a dollar | 23:54 |
floridagram-bot3 | <Ivoriesablaze> interesting | 23:55 |
floridagram-bot3 | <Ivoriesablaze> how many keys do you think minimum? | 23:55 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> 70 I think | 23:55 |
floridagram-bot3 | <Ivoriesablaze> hm... still a pretty sizable investment | 23:56 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> Yes, you could put cheaper switches in but that's the buy-in for a mechanical keyboard | 23:56 |
floridagram-bot3 | <Ivoriesablaze> true | 23:56 |
floridagram-bot3 | <RazPi> You said you liked red? | 23:57 |
floridagram-bot3 | <Ivoriesablaze> yep | 23:57 |
