Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

The chair’s cover has a zipper underneath, and it just occurred to me I could stick magnets in the arms, under the fabric, so my keyboard can attach to the chair. 🎉 (media.artemis.camp)

And with the AR glasses I can just recline and putter away on the three virtual monitors on my ceiling. 😎

What are the glasses you like?

[–] ImInPhx@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I was curious about what the glasses are too. XReal Air is closest looking match I could find.

Scrolling through that site, it says, "large elastic range of the shaft". Nice, though I have no idea what they're talking about.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

You know....

[–] g0g0gadget@artemis.camp 4 points 11 months ago

Yep, those ones!

Has science gone too far?

What chair is that?? I’m looking for something similar!!

Having grown up with floppy disks, magnets still make me nervous

My keyboard was made to be used this way! https://www.zsa.io/voyager/

I have a trackpad on my lap desk, though, and for that I used Velcro, because yep.

That's fuckling cool

[–] jadedwench@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

You are a genius. I have a Love Sac couch and I could do this all over. I will have to think about how this could be used. Thank you for the great idea!

[–] Newtra@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That's genius! You must feel so relaxed while using that. What spilt keyboard is it? What do you do for mouse emulation?

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

https://www.zsa.io/voyager/

I believe that is the one they have.

[–] g0g0gadget@artemis.camp 5 points 11 months ago

Yep! And for mouse control I mostly use the keyboard itself, or a trackpad on a lap desk. https://www.lauralangdon.io/blog/

How is the eye fatigue? With VR I get sorta sick

[–] beeng@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

What work are you doing? How's the res?

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

You're living my dream! That is exactly how I want to work.

What are those amazing glasses?

[–] g0g0gadget@artemis.camp 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

They're the NReal Air.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

Awesome! Thanks for the name. Are they as cool as they look? Do they actually work well? Is the picture quality good?
