I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my “throw in a bag and take into the office” keyboard.
So I guess the question is why arrange the keys like that? What benefits do you get by splitting the letters down the middle like that?
Slightly better ergonomics, mostly. Kinda forces you into better typing habits overall also since its harder to be tempted to reach too far with one hand to hit the keys the other hand is responsible for.
I suppose splitting them puts leas strain on your wrists. I find with my preonic that my wrists are angled in, but I suppose thats the same as any keyboard. Not sure what this key layout is though.
A fellow Colemakian! Love the keyboard!
Nice! Sound test?
I use a Planck for my travel keyboard. The circuit board and the plate are a little wobbly after having it for 3 years now, which is a little annoying but doesn’t affect the function of the board.
I can just feel things moving around when I pick up the board.
I opened the case and checked out the circuit board itself, but the wobbliness was something I couldnt do anything about.
What are the center yellow keys? I feel like I need a spider key, but I don’t know why.
As a querty user, this is an abomination (not in a bad way)
I will never require a spider button on my keyboard
I now want every one of my keyboards to have a spider button.
