When using Blender I’d like to keep my right hand on the pointing device (pen or mouse) and the other on the keyboard.

But I use a steeply tented split keyboard, and a few keys I need regularly are on the right half; with a flat keyboard I’d reach over to the other half, but because of the almost 90° tenting this is difficult and slow.

I think I will try solving this issue by making one key flip the two halves (temporarily).

What do you think, how would you approach this problem?

@phlimy remember when you brought your #splitkeyboard when we met IRL?

That stuck in my head for quiet a while now and inspired me to also build one. Thanks for the inspiration and for introducing me to it! 😇

Hm, maybe I found a successor to the Magic Keyboard.

The Elora looks like exactly what I wanted. This is significantly better for my hands than the Adv360.
I'm playing around with custom QMK, and now I think I know what I want.
The keycaps are a mix of what I have, and a custom set is on the way. #splitkeyboard

Was that Wheatstone #SplitKeyboard a prototype for an upgrade to his beautiful ABC alphabetical telegraph?

Might have given it an “ease of use” chance against Morse’s code

But the need for multiple copper wires in Wheatstone & co’s systems cost more

Depends what features you want. The Dygma boards have great tenting. Glove80 and Advantage360 or things like the Bastard or Cyboard have keywells

Many things can be found in DIY kits or the maker scene.
Kinesis may make the best Microsoft Natural copycat. Goldtouch is perhaps the most affordable entry-level board with above average tenting, but limited split

Moonlander and Dygma can argue with others about who has the easiest or best software

I got used to a $50 Goldtouch board, little knowing that the replacement with features I wanted would be a $500 Dygma

Prototype of a split keyboard from around 1850 made by Sir Charles Wheatstone, inventor of the English concertina! 🪗

Для ценителей клавиатур раздельных и моносплитов всяческих
Ребята из ЕргоХавен(не люблю эту компанию, но объективно могу сказать что делают хорошо) сделали Трекбол под сплиты и моносплиты.
Когда будет в релизе не понятно, только предзаказ.
Но Майор предзаказал. Расскажу потом, что и как.
Успел на предзаказ дешевле чем он стоит сейчас хе/хе

I asked my wife about removing number row, F-keys, and modifiers for hand health using home row mods and a 40-key keyboard. Her reaction? Not supportive! #KeyboardEnthusiast #HomeRowMods #SplitKeyboard #HandHealth
