Bought some #Gateron Aliaz Silent Tactile Switches to switch out the brown Cherry switches in my #Epomaker #Skyloong #GK68 I use for work. Now I'm thinking of also changing the #Kailh Blue Navies in my #DygmaDefy... I do like the clicky Kailh, but tactile may be a new interest. Maybe I'll order some more switches to test. Any tips for tactile (that you can really feel and 100gf or heavier) switches?

Update nach ca. 5 Monaten mit der #Dygma Defy ⌨️ Bin immer noch sehr zufrieden: Mein Tastaturlayout habe ich noch weiter entwickelt und gerade habe ich Taster eingebaut, die weniger Druck benötigen.

Die Haltung der Hände ist dank Teilung/Anwinkelung deutlich ruhiger und entspannter, wobei die Tastatur zum effizienten 10-Finger-System zwingt 😉 Schreibgeschwindigkeit ist gefühlt wieder voll da bzw. durch die bessere Haltung sogar höher als vorher.

Habe einige "Tastenkombinationen", die ich nicht mehr her geben möchte: Umlaute haben z.B. keine eigenen Tasten, sondern werden über kurz gedrückt gehaltene a/u/o eingegeben. Finde ich deutlich intuitiver!

"q" gedrückt halten ergibt "@", beim "f" wird automatisch "Strg+f" gesendet. Dazu eine extra Taste für kopieren/ausschneiden/einfügen und eine, die "Strg+z" und "Strg+y" sendet.

Alles häufig genutzte ist direkt verfügbar, den Nummernblock und einige Sonderzeichen habe ich auf andere Ebenen verbannt.

Playing games that use the Fn keys on my Mac. I haven't been able to get them to work in the game. Found out thess are mapped by my Mistel keybaord in "Mac" mode. That mode makes the command and alt keys be in the correct places, but also makes the Fn keys not be Fn keys.

So now I'm looking for a new #keyboards. I'd like a split keyboard with a number pad. They don't really exist, far as I can tell.

I have a #dygmadefy that I was on my way to really liking. But thumbs aren't designed to move like that to hit that number of different keys. Pretty much instant tendonitis, or worse, happened to me. So that style is out.

Looking for #mechanicalkeyboards with number pads.

Asked myself "why not?" again. Some stands on my chair to put my #DygmaDefy on. I used the platforms from here: https://www.printables.com/model/559559-arm-rests-with-shelves and changed the mounting point. It's only held to the armrests with 2 screws, but they are screwed into metal, so very sturdy. #DIY #3DPrinting

After many months of waiting, finally got my #dygmadefy and suddenly was enlightened. This is not "just a #keyboard", it's a luxury item. Probably now I will look to others like a Porsche driver. Yet, it's genuinely not for showing off, owning and using it really makes me more happy. It's all what I wished the #ergodoxez was. Never thought I'll ever understand or believe people who buy expensive cars for the "driving experience", but now, I guess, I kind of can relate.
Told my brother about the new #dygmadefy. It went like:
Me: If I jus5 type without cvorreftin[g every letter it looks like this.
Me: Tho autocvorrevt is helping some.
Him: No it’s not 😂

I’m trying out my first “ergonomic” keyboard. My Dygma Defy showed up earlier today. It is very weird to type on this thing. In the default layout, the keys are roughly where they should be, but of course are not exactly where they should be. The hardest key so far is not space as I expected, but the keys on the left-hand bottom row. XCVB are really hard to land on without landing on two of them at once. Or in the case of B, nothing at all.

I do really like the “split-ness” of it. Placing it at shoulder width right at the edge of the desk is really comfortable. I probably should have gotten the tenting version, but I figured this would be enough of a change to start with. I was right.

I'm disappointed to learn that

Im Weihnachtsurlaub aus gutem Grund das 10-Finger-System neu lernen ☺️ #dygmadefy

More than a year after the initially scheduled delivery date, I finally got a notification that my #DygmaDefy keyboard has left the factory and I should receive a tracking number soon.

For the love of Gna, Hermes and all the deities of trade and transport, I hope they're going to ship with DHL because they're the least shitty parcel company in my neck of the woods.

I'm really looking forward to it, and I also hope it will work ok right out of the box.
