Molly Whitewith great sadness i had to retire my trusty Ergodox Infinity, but: new keeb! expect typos as i learn how to type again
(MoErgo Glove80)
Ian Volante@molly0xfff Would love to try something like that, although I'm a fraudulent touch-typer, so it might be a painful transition. Also, I use a RollerMouse, and that's unlikely to play nicely with this sort of thing.
groxx@SometimeHippy @molly0xfff TIL RollerMouse. I kinda like that idea.
For my kinesis advantage2, I've got an apple magic trackpad taped in the middle (there's just enough room for it, and foam tape had held for several years now). Works pretty well though it still irritates my RSI a bit.
@SometimeHippy @molly0xfff out of curiosity, because videos and descriptions aren't being clear about it: does the bar on this one spring back, or stay where you slide it like the other models seem to do? and what does that imply for horizontal movement?
like is there a carriage return button so you can recenter without moving, or do you perhaps need to install drivers for absolute positioning? or if it springs back, do you have to swipe a couple times to move across the screen sometimes?
@groxx @molly0xfff It's a cylinder within the casing, so the rotation of the cylinder gives you the up/down movement. Left/right is done by the equivalent movement of the cylinder within. It doesn't spring back, but there is a button at end within the housing which sends the pointer out to the extreme in if you run out of movement. (I think! It's been ages since it became intuitive, and I don't have it in front of me right now). I've got a fast cursor, so don't usually hit the ends.
