Realizing this investigation has been quietly going on for 4 years now makes me think of all the other ongoing investigations that the incoming Trump administration will kill, so they can focus on fabricating reasons to pursue their political enemies.

This common misunderstanding of the purpose of life is addressed by Alan Watts in this short animation illustrated by Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame.

Yeah, the one type of keyboard I haven’t tried yet is a dactyl-style curved one. The Glove80 has definitely caught my attention.

I’m on a journey to find the “one true keyboard” for me, as you can read about in parts 1 and 2 of my story I’ve linked above. One think that I really want is to be able to switch back to a normal keyboard when needed without difficulty. This means not only sticking with QWERTY, but having modifier keys in the usual places, to be mainly operated by my pinkie and ring fingers.

If the Ergodox is like the Moonlander (my current ride) in terms of column stagger, yeah, it’s about half of what it should be (for me anyway). IMHO the top of the “A” key should almost line up with the bottom of the “D” key (speaking QWERTY here).

From the pictures I’ve seen the stagger looks right on the Dygma Defy; but they use Kaleidoscope, the same firmware as the Model 100, and I want to keep the geeky stuff I’ve done in QMK, which I found hard to port.

I’m planning to sell it “one of these days” … If you want it (with my 3d printed stand included), we’d just have to agree on a fair price. It is too tall to be comfortable with that stand, though – unless maybe you’re on a standing desk you can have a bit lower to compensate.
