Wildfire smoke & low air quality- AQHI 10+ in many ON & QC regions
  • It does on a section under the graph. It's not 10+ right now but this is where it reports the actual index.

  • Wildfire smoke & low air quality- AQHI 10+ in many ON & QC regions
  • We had 20+ for a couple of hours yesterday here in Sudbury.

    I thought the rain would help but it barely rained.

  • How do vinyl records hold stereo sound?
  • +1 for Technology Connections! So many good videos and awesome storytelling!

  • I saw some mentions of layers but in all fairness, it's not appealing to me if I want to hit F6 to make the cursor go to the browser's address bar.

    But thanks for mentioning! It may help others.

  • Thanks for that. It makes me less resistant in spending more to have keyboard with keywell.

    I hope your arm is fully recovered now!

  • It has more than the ergo I saw too. I'm used to number row and function keys and wouldn't want to lose that. That would probably take some getting used to it but if I can still have those keys, no reason to choose one that doesn't.

  • Some of the videos I watched involved them doing typing training to get used to columnar layout. I'm sure it's a learning curve.

    Hope you can get used to it soon!

  • Had you used any non-keywell ergo keyboards before the 360? If so, how much better is the keywell option compared to them?

    The gist of it is "is it worth $200 more to have keywells?"

  • Do you mean getting used to in the sense of it having columnar keys/typing speed or pain/discomfort?

  • Taking a better look at the glove80, it's definitely appealing to me, since it also has the function keys on it. It's about CA$550 vs about CA$450 for the dactyl, which has less keys.

    I'm trying to find one that I can use for years to come, since they are very pricey.

  • The Dactyls look interesting, keywell, tenting. I'll take a look at them!

    I can solder but it doesn't mean it turns out good lol

  • I looked mainly on prebuit since the DIY didn't feel to fit what I was looking for. When I was searching for ones with keywell, no DIY models came up.

    What I noticed with the one you suggested and some others I found when looking around is that they don't have many keys.

    Is it common to have a separated numpad?

    Also, out of curiosity, what are uses for the thumb knob? I saw that in some models and also on yours.

    I'm a complete novice to mech and ergo so I apologize in advance for any sins lol

    The 3 I checked are Kinesis 360 (https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/advantage360/), Glove80 (https://www.moergo.com/collections/glove80-keyboards) and the Moonlander (https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/).

    These below are what I got from watching reviews:

    • Kinesis is difficult to customize and sometimes has connectivity issues
    • Glove80 feels cheap
    • Moonlander doesn’t have many keys and thumb cluster is on odd position

    Considering the prices, the moonlander is about US$100 cheaper than the others, so feels like a better option.

    I am interested in options with keywell, as they feel way more comfortable, but anything will be better since I use an conventional non-split keyboard.

    The right menu links to a compare tool but there are so many.

    My hands are small, so it may constrain the options I have. Or maybe not.

    What are your opinions/suggestions/experience with these types of keyboards?

    Overwhelmed by options of ergo keyboards. Please send help.

    I've been wanting to try an ergo split keyboard but there are so many options.
