floridagram-bot3<RazPi> @KMyers @Ivoriesablaze found a picture on reddit of both the keyboards we were talking about https://i.redd.it/jivktltnr2x01.jpg23:39
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 think23:45
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 kinesis23:48
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 keys23:49
floridagram-bot3<RazPi> or just use a keyboard layer23:49
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 dollar23:54
floridagram-bot3<Ivoriesablaze> interesting23:55
floridagram-bot3<Ivoriesablaze> how many keys do you think minimum?23:55
floridagram-bot3<RazPi> 70 I think23:55
floridagram-bot3<Ivoriesablaze> hm... still a pretty sizable investment23:56
floridagram-bot3<RazPi> Yes, you could put cheaper switches in but that's the buy-in for a mechanical keyboard23:56
floridagram-bot3<Ivoriesablaze> true23:56
floridagram-bot3<RazPi> You said you liked red?23:57
floridagram-bot3<Ivoriesablaze> yep23:57
