should I proceed with ergodox or no?
What kind of typist rests his hands when he types?

Ergonomic ones :D
I was actually informed that not resting the hands is a better idea, and that makes a lot of sense, because you aren't placing your weight on your wrists. I never get any pain in my wrists from floating, which I used to get while resting, and I can also move my fingers much more easily.
There's no reason that resting your wrist should be good, because then you're applying more strain on your hand than just the keypresses.

Hmm, strange. I've never had RSI issues or anything of the sort, but just trying it out now, there's far more tension in my wrist when they're not resting. Actually typing like that is far more strenuous than just using my fingers to type while my wrists are on my tray.
(edit) - Could also be because of my arm rests from my chair are taking a good chunk of the weight off my wrists. Working without an arm rest would be a nightmare methinks.
I just assembled an ErgoDox from local sources... :eek:
Well, at least I can choose my case color (matte acrylic) ;D
Also, I use plastic screws instead of metal ones, no worry for rusting ;D

Unfortunately, I have put the I/O expander in the wrong way, so I only got functional right part :'(
Working on desoldering the IC. Hopefully I don't need to use the spare PCB and other parts...

Not to mention I still haven't got my one from 4th round... I think the one I'm organising will be done quicker even though I just ordered stuff recently...

well.. I'm certain if an Egdx buy is the "Only" one you organize, it'd be faster than massdrop. Since, they have other things to do on top.
I wish they made it possible to buy only certain parts as in the first/second one.
Speaking of that, is it possible to get only 1.5x and 2x PBT keycaps somewhere?

You can get those at SP, at 1usd per cap. Colors and profile is limited to what they have on hand atm.

honestly,, just go abs and buy the 2x-size num-pad enterkey from wasd keyboards.. .. if you're gonna get anything OTHER than black.. then there's ZERO difference between pbt and abs... because shine doesn't look bad on "bright color" caps..
It really only matters if you got BLACK caps.

The plastic screws matches the case really well
Welcome to Geekhack!
Fantastic job you've done - hopefully you can get the other half working too :)
I went to my local hardware store for some M3 cap nuts ("acorn"). They were $1.70 a pop, what the hell.
