Ruth Cheesley (she/her)Yay! First time in 15 months (since badly fracturing my wrist and the surgery to put everything back together!) that I've been able to type on my Kinesis Advantage 2 keyboard!
Just have to remind myself of the #Maltron layout, most of the muscle memory is there but I keep forgetting where some of the less used keys are! 😅
Found those 2 ergonomics keyboards on 2nd hand shop… They need fixing, but first a good bath.
Timo GeuschThere’s a downside of using ergonomic keyboards with bowl shaped key wells.
And yes, the keyboard was plugged in.

Beady Belle FanchannelThanks to some lovely folk at @OpenLabAugsburg, I managed to desolder the broken switch & replace it with a new Cherry Brown :)
Life with an Alt-key is 👌
These Kinesis keyboards are forgiving enough to fix even for a soldering noob like me.
Now what do I do with 19 more Cherry Brown switches? :D
I should just fix my Alt-key ffs

My main input devices are an Ergodox with blank keycaps in a Dvorak layout, and an Evoluent Vertical Mouse. My mobile uses a 9-keys swipe-based keyboard (MessageEase until recently, now Thumb-Key with a compatible layout). People sometimes ask me about this, and then I talk to them for way longer than they signed up for. Perhaps a written summary would save some in the future (but do ask if you want a chat!).

Yeah, people who have no health issues don't have to switch to full ergo, agreed.
My reason to switch was a slight pain when I put one of my hands in a certain position - not *during* typing, but the position was clearly *related* to typing.
Articles said that developers who had to quit because of #RSI could work again thanks to #KinesisAdvantage, so I thought that should be good for prevention. And I was right; my pain was gone after a few months & never returned.
LumKittyRIP, my space bar. You were almost old enough to vote.
