Title: WTB: ERGODOX. may trade for a TEX YODA (60% with track point!)
Post by: gcb on Thu, 16 October 2014, 17:49:58

I want it to be local. either to Los angeles or Bay area. But if this thread is old and without replies, feel free to hit me up with non-local offers as well.

i can buy assembled units, with or without the case. I will also buy if you have the unassembled kit. or even the bare boards!

show me what you've got!

Also, im waiting for a Tex with trackpoint that i'm 79.12% sure i won't like because now i'm hooked on grid layouts. so i might trhow it in as a trade instead if you want it.

hello

are you talking about staggered or non staggered grids?

I am a fan of grids; can't resist talking to people

non-staggered, like the standard ergo dox. took me a  long time to get used... i still type much faster on my ms natural keyboard that i've used for decades. but i'm getting hoked on the ergodox square layout.

made me realize i never used the pink for absolutely anything before other than holding shift. not sure if that is good or bad.

anyway, i'm still hunting for the perfect programmer keyboard. ms natural was my choice until now. now i'm teaking my ergodox every couple weeks and hope to have it perfected soon :)



BTW, back on topic... i just got the tex YODA! it is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen! but the trackpoint came broken. already emailed support and i saw a post today that MD already have the replacement trackpoint boards. so you are in the perfect time if you want to exchange your assembled or not ergodox for a tex yoda! you can pick if you want it assembled or not, and i can put in a mix of any MX you want. i have enough for a full brow, full clears, almost full black/red, or any mix.

update, assembling the TEX YODA :)

i'm not feeling anyone will get on the trade, so i might as well use it for a while.

adding my personal taste of switches... ergo for alpha and punctuation plus tab, enter and space keys. brown for top row (excluding backspace, which is clear) then black for modifiers.

I PM'd you about a trade. I know it's not local, but neither is LA to the Bay area, technically....

did not get your message. can you send again?

LA and SF are my home/work, so it is local to me :D maybe just have to wait a week or so to close the deal, but it will still be local.
