Every device advertised with "#AI" od having a "#CopilotKey" gets instantly put on the "never ever buy!"-List…

You know what I want instead?

#Linux support - and I mean fully!
#Keyboards with
#Trackpoints!
#RepairableTech
instead of AntiRepairDesign!

Me too
Which is why I have a second hand business think pad, I5 processor 8GB Ram, antiX linux great performance.

And tough.

hi, my name is stf, and i'm addicted to #trackpoints. having learned that the thinkpad trackpoint #keyboard II - is EOL - i panicked and bought all the available ones for reserve. but i also found two others the happyhackingkb which looks sleek, and the tex shura which is simpler but more modular, i bought the latter. today i got the BLE upgrade and a new bezel so i can pop in two extra pg up/down - yes pop in, no solder! very comfy, very cherry mx! much approve, warm recommendation!

@qlp personally, I wished @frameworkcomputer would give #SprinTek a call and get themselves some #TrackPoint instead of the #TrackPad as an option.

  • IDK maybe make it green or pink so neither #Lenovo (red) nor #hp (black) nor #Dell (blue) nor #Getac (orange) nor #Sony (gray) can complain.

They can't call it #UltraNav either but what about #SmolNav or #ProNav or something.

  • Worst-case they'd have to make a "T H I C C" Edition with a #Perixx #Trackball instead.

It’s a golden age of ergo keyboards, with new ones appearing almost weekly it seems

Not all have much new or worthwhile to offer, but it’s definitely interesting

#Trackpoints though are very uncommon. That’s going to be a hard feature to shop for

It’s pretty much something a few people mod themselves, or the #UltimateHackersKeyboard I think

I just backed this #NayaCreate Kickstarter which has modules kind of like the UHK
