Hotel Complex in Sanya City, Hainan, China
I’d love to see more buildings like this for apartments! Scaling vertically but still getting outdoor space that isn’t roofed by the next balcony up.

The pink dots are stickers, and if "indexing" means "I need these so I can keep track of which row I'm touching", then yep, that's what they're for. 😁 I can keep track of where my fingers are with only three rows, but with only two thumb keys I couldn't just remove the top row like I used to do on the Moonlander. I actually like this even better, and I'm going to put the stickers on the Moonlander, too. They're often called "gem stickers" or "jewel stickers" in shops.

What Impossibility Box said is 100% true. But also I only got into keyboards because I had wrist pain, and the Moonlander took my pain away. And then I got swept up into the hobby. 😁

Same but for journalists/writers.

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. 🎉

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

I adore the Moonlander, and absolutely think it's worth the cost. I plan to keep using both boards in different contexts.

Nothing exciting, I'm afraid! The orange pen is a Pilot from the Retro Pop collection, and the silver pencil is a Pentel Graph Gear 1000.

Interview: Quentin Lebastard
I opened this bracing for a condescending tech bro, and that couldn't be further from what the interview was actually like! As a Developer Advocate and documentarian, I especially appreciated this bit:
Finally, because I’m creating keyboards that are going to be built by multiple people with different backgrounds in DIY, I need to make sure the process goes smoothly. This means that during the design process, the 3d and electronic parts have to be made in a way where it’s expected there will be mistakes. It can and will happen that the screw inserts are not installed properly, the components are installed in reverse, there are shorts and cut traces and burnt plastic. People will make mistakes, and I need to work on making those mistakes less likely to happen, but also make sure that the keyboard is easy to fix.
This is so important, yet so infrequently prioritized. 👏

Aha! Yes, the stickers are working very well for that so far. Sorry you couldn’t find anything to work for your keycaps! Oh, you could also try looking for nail art crystals. They’re often pretty tiny, so maybe more likely to fit a wider variety of keycaps.

Keywell based keyboards not working for me...
For me it’s all about major tenting—like nearly 90 degrees—to keep my wrists in a neutral “handshake” position. Having my wrists rotated to be use a keyboard that’s facing straight up gives me carpal tunnel. You could try tenting your Sofle or Kyria to see if that helps.

I’ve heard great things about the Glove80! I like a 40% layout, though, so it has way too many keys for me.

Yep. I love and use lists on Mastodon, but I'd love to have the custom algos as well.

Having had a full numpad on one of my layers for the last few years, I hate having to stretch my fingers all weird to hit 6, for instance, when using my laptop's keyboards with a number row.
