@molly0xfff people really really love their glove 80s. Hope you enjoy the feel and the soft easy keyswitches and that your hands and brain love you for it.

I'm ready for wireless customizable typing gloves to pair with display glasses or maybe a display hat. Its a shame we don't have those yet.

@molly0xfff super interested in hearing how it goes. I’ve been eyeing this and their Go60

@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.

@molly0xfff wait… is your pinky usually on "o" or on "p"? Am I typing wrong?

@molly0xfff so, these look very pretty, I've used Microsoft ergonomic keyboard for many years now.

How does one know which style of these fancy keyboards would fit? How did you know you would like this concave shape instead of a regular tenting approach?

Many, many moons ago (when I still had a desktop computer at home), I had an ergo keyboard. My wife would use it (she had her own login) when I was traveling (which, at the time, was "all the time").

At the time, she had a significant Diet Coke habit. She pretty much never didn't have a can with her. One day, while working at my computer, she knocked her can of soda over …and into the keyboard. Things did not end well for the keyboard. Ultimately, it needed to be replaced (and she was banned from using that computer).

I've been working pretty much exclusively from laptops the past fifteen-plus years. I sorely miss having an ergo keyboard. My wrists sorely miss me having an ergo keyboard. Sadly, I no longer have a place to set one up.

Side-benefit of ergo keyboards: if you're working in a hot-desking environment, it's a great way to ensure that no one "borrows" your work-area.

@molly0xfff super cool - so question (since the 80 doesn't have the 60's integrated trackpads), do you put a trackball in between them or put a mouse outside of em?

@molly0xfff it's the most comfortable keyboard that I have ever used period)
I also use Sunaku's keymap https://github.com/sunaku/glove80-keymaps
It's pretty comfortable to have homerow mods

@molly0xfff Molly Keyboardhands is gonna be typing up a storm. I don't think I could handle that kind of power.

@molly0xfff looks like a skate park for your fingertips!

the Ergodox was also ortholinear with thumb clusters so the transition shouldn't be too difficult, but the default layout on this one is a little different (thumb shift and modifier keys mostly)

@molly0xfff Whoa, it actually looks like hands.

@molly0xfff

@molly0xfff wow
