Choc spacing on split ergo keyboards
Choc spacing on split ergo keyboards - Lemmy.world
For the last few months, I’ve been daily driving a Corneish Zen, a split keyboard with choc spacing. I find it very pleasant to use, but wanted to try a split keyboard that isn’t flat, like a Dactyl. The Skeletyl looked like it was right up my alley, having a similar layout as the Corne and the same number of keys, so I tried printing a half and was surprised at how big it seemed. Maybe I just have smaller hands, but the spacing between keys seemed really far. My question is, are there any variants of Dactyl keyboards that were designed to be used with choc switches/keycaps? While I could try modify the Skeletyl step files, I’m not that confident in Fusion360 and just wanted to see if there was something done first.

## Context I’ve been a long time user of the Amazon Kindle, starting with the first ever one with the physical side buttons, all the way to the Paperwhite 8th gen. While I had been very happy with it, a few things happened recently that pushed me towards getting this: - The whole issue with Reddit kind of made me realize that I didn’t want to trust a company with all my books, no matter how big or trustworthy the company seemed. All my eBooks so far have been bought from the Amazon store, and read on my Kindles. - I bought a Note Air 2 Plus a few months ago, and it was a really good device for my needs - Onyx released the Page ## Initial thoughts on Onyx Page - It’s very light, and very thin. It doesn’t feel cheap or anything, but it feels lighter than my Paperwhite despite this having a slightly larger screen - The page turning buttons are really nice, and having a side bezel I can hold on to while reading is also very comfortable - The back is a bit glossier than I would’ve liked. It’s just smooth, and a big fingerprint magnet - The graphical art they have on the back is not indented or whatever the opposite of indentation is. It feels more like something they’ve etched onto the surface ## Closing thoughts? I’ve spent the last few hours trying this and that, downloaded the Kindle app to read (probably) my last Amazon store bought Kindle book. I will be spending the next few hours porting my Kindle books into Calibre, removing the DRM and storing them in my personal cloud :) I don’t think there have been any reviews out there yet, so feel free to ask me anything regarding this, and I’ll try my best to answer them.
