I mostly read things here. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Outside of Lemmy, I read things. Sometimes I’ll write a thing. Like software documentation. Or maybe something else. Who knows what the day will bring.

  • Its specs and features include anodized aluminum body, double-shot PBT keycaps, Kailh MX Red switches, as well as multi-device connectivity.

    Like the thousands of other bog standard 60% keyboards. Looks like it’s primary “innovation” is offering multi-device bluetooth for $99 without swappable switchs, which makes me doubt that it’s anything close to “a masterpiece of elegance and performance”.

    Kinda tired of random other thing manufacturers deciding to enter the keyboard market by building the same goddamn thing as everyone else. You want to disrupt a market? Try making an ergo mechanical keyboard with swappable switches that won’t kill our wrists in 5 - 10 years for less than $300.


  • First of all, 99% of YouTube videos are there to drum up controversy and provide an “uneducated” reaction to get clicks. You have to dig to find an unbiased and educated perspective, especially for ergo stuff, on YouTube.

    That said, we have two types of content about ergo keyboards: uneducated inpatient crap like this and reviews targeted towards existing ergo keyboard fans.

    What we need is a midde ground. Ergo stuff takes a lot of time and patience to get used to. Plus, most ergo stuff is highly configurable, which can be both a double edged sword anf overwhelming. We need less content convincing existing ergo fans to buy new ergo gearb and more content to help the ergo curious and newbies fully transition into ergo fans.
