Christian SeligWooohoo, finished building the new keyboard 💛🤍
TheRojam 🚄✔ #4177 🔜 #39c3@christianselig diese Kuuh ist einfach mega!

Will Clark@christianselig Build list? Is it an Iris?
@robotdeathsquad Similar but the controller is on the top so it can be thinner overall (it's a Lily58)
Robert Petersen 
DanMitu@christianselig Wow. Why the split design? Do you have RSI issues?
@DanMitu Yeah was starting to develop it I think (would get wrist pain after a few hours) and split keyboards really help. Not something I want to develop any further 😛
M.S. Bellows, Jr.@christianselig @DanMitu Hmmm. I really like the idea, but I don't think I'd enjoy the pieces sliding around. How would you compare the pros/cons of this design vs a split-but-fixed version?
@msbellows @DanMitu The split but fixed boards (like the Alice for instance) are nice but the split isnt nearly dramatic enough to make a big difference imo. And if you add rubber feet to the bottom they dont really drift or anything. But if it does really bother you, you could tape a ruler to the bottom or something haha

Stuart McHattie 👨🏼💻@christianselig don’t you mean “Wooohoo, finishe builing the new keyboar”?
@sdjmchattie I mean I can still technically hit the key switch without the keycap :p

@christianselig where’s the space bar?
@lebel It is the one labeled tab in the picture only because the key set didnt have a space key that was smaller
Elijah Yap@christianselig love the kana keycaps! Have they helped with typing Japanese?
@elijah No not at all haha, they just look pretty. I type kana in the phonetic romaji conversion keyboard way anyway
@christianselig gotcha.
I find backspacing a different number of characters than I typed brain bending (kanji makes this worse), hoping to switch away from Romaji eventually
@elijah That makes sense, I admittedly dont type kana a ton so maybe if I get there I will join you haha
Tony Zhang@christianselig
I have the same one!
How do you feel typing on it? It took me a week of typing at 30wpm before I got comfortable.
(Then I forgot how to type on a normal keyboard and had to readjust to that as well)
@TonyZhang Yeah haha still very slow as well, the ortholinear layout is fun but hard
amro@christianselig looks so good!!
iOSLife@christianselig wait do you QWERTY?
@ioslife No but I like having the nibs on the F and J keys to easily find the home row so I keep the keys laid out as QWERTY even if the keyboard isnt
@christianselig dude that breaks my brain lol
So now that I have the keyboard and am starting to learn, what’s your thoughts on Colemak vs Colemak-Dh?
@ioslife Haha ideally you shouldn’t be looking down to type anyway so it shouldn’t matter. Coleman DH looks cool but losing the easy command CV by each other and the nonstandard layout (normal Colemak is even supported on iPads) means I’d probably still go with normal Colemak
Michael Critz@christianselig 日本語を書けますか。素晴らしいだ！
@pixelscience 学んでいます！でも、それがかわいから、僕は買いました 😛
@christianselig 難しいで楽しいだよね。がんばって！
EthanRDoesMC@christianselig alright I’ll ask a dumb question: why the kana? Is it just aesthetic?
@ethanrdoesmc Not a dumb question! Answer: yes :p
@christianselig also how in the world did you get used to tab on the right hand? I’ve become really interested in improving code quality by improving the editing experience and I had not considered a split keyboard up until now
@ethanrdoesmc Tab’s in the normal spot that’s just one of the few keys from the set I had that would fit there. It’s actually the space bar. But splits are awesome you should do it, more so for RSI prevention than anything
Sascha Gordner@christianselig nice! so you didn’t get a Lulu case? 😃
@forceunwrap Nah I’m not sure I’ll stick with this keyboard long term, might go with a Corne, so didn’t want to spend big bucks on a case yet
Adam Black@christianselig looks amazing, nice job!
