Digit's obligatory initial greeting
« on: Wed, 11 May 2016, 15:01:23 »
hi

adereth's talk put the hook in me.

i wanna make my own interfaces now.

i have at least bumped up to a kinesis advantage.

lots of burning questions... but i'll try temper them, keep them orderly in appropriate threads.  ... methinks they're generally questions better suited to a forum than irc at this stage.

lots of ideas and (proto-)plans. 
(add trackpoint, change material feel for certain keys, stuff about connectors, custom/dynamic switch feel, switches, plastics & other materials, and many more yet to be formed well enough to be characterized).
lots to learn.

not /just/ the specifically keyboard stuff too, since from the keyboard comes the posture, to varying extents, and all the rest (seat, desk, monitor, etc) can alter an otherwise quality typing position... i mean, ~~  ok, maybe i'll save that for a thread of its own, and keep this intro short n sweet.  ... i shoulda just said something like:

hi, it's me, as seen on irc.
normally when being "productive", i make pictures and audio, not an intense focus on the keyboard.
but now, thnx to a video about making your own split curved keyboard in emacs, i have ideas i'll likely need help n pointers for to accomplish.

if ignorance is bliss, give me agony.
~~~~~~~ let there be hemp ~~~~~~~
spaceships for everyone.  solves all.

Welcome to Geekhack!

For information and help on building something, checkout the making stuff together section.

For information and help on ergonomics (seat, desk, monitor etc.), checkout the ergonomics section.

There's so much information there, I hope you have time to read it all ;)

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
