| 15:31:36 |  cyril.lu | which I am currently doing with a Yubikey |
| 15:32:42 | cyril.lu | The goal is to embed everything I need in the keyboard to use it with a tablet PC |
| 15:33:33 |  wiktor | sounds cool and ambitious! |
| 15:33:46 | wiktor | if you end up finishing it post an update or at least photos :) |
| 15:34:58 | cyril.lu | Here is the current state http://cyril.lugan.fr/assets/lab/posts/2019-05-17-keyboard/IMG_1559.jpg |
| 15:35:13 | cyril.lu | without the trackball and the smartcard :p |
| 15:48:38 |  Aroop Roelofs | I'm not a fan of the layout but it looks nice :p
also, what is that joystick doing?
It looks like a nice project tho |
| 15:52:54 | cyril.lu | The layout can be called semi ergo, it has some traction in the mechanical community, some are more ergonomic, like the dactyl https://github.com/adereth/dactyl-keyboard |
| 15:54:00 | cyril.lu | I am used it for about 6 month but can't say I prefer it over the standard layout, its main advantage for me is that it gives room for a pointer at the center |
| 15:54:41 | cyril.lu | for now I use the joystick as a mouse (like a thinkpad trackpoint), but I wanted to try a trackball instead |
| 15:54:24 | Aroop Roelofs | xD #worth xD
|
| 15:54:42 | Aroop Roelofs | I just pref regular keyboard (TKL specifically)
|
| 15:55:07 | Aroop Roelofs | ah |
| 15:55:30 | Aroop Roelofs | I rly dislike the Nipple tho xD
idk, just never gotten used to them.
but then again, I use a drawing tablet as mouse for daily use |
| 15:55:53 | cyril.lu | Ah yes, I never tried it |
| 15:56:08 | cyril.lu | do you use it for IT / development? |
| 15:56:33 | Aroop Roelofs | yes |
| 15:56:59 | Aroop Roelofs | use it for pretty much anything besides gaming |
| 15:57:11 | Aroop Roelofs | tho on my laptop I just use either the trackpad or touchscreen |
| 15:58:27 | cyril.lu | I guess you also occupy a niche :) |
| 15:58:26 | Aroop Roelofs | Started doing so because my wrist and index finger started to hurt (likely beginning RSI) so I just used the drawing tablet so I can use other fingers and need less movement in general. |
| 16:00:02 | Aroop Roelofs | yes : > |
| 16:00:43 | Aroop Roelofs | still am looking for a drawing tablet that doesn't require the pen to move the mouse (so basically just touch). |
| 16:00:52 | Aroop Roelofs | but I am broke and unemployed rn so it'll have to wait |
| 16:03:05 | cyril.lu | Maybe you can try an apple magic trackpad (which is quit expensive I guess) if you prefer using touch |
| 16:03:49 | cyril.lu | but I have heard that it was kind of bad for RSI |
| 16:04:29 | Aroop Roelofs | I've tried the trackpad, it's not great.
But using a drawing tablet with touch gives me some additional stuff, mainly customizable buttons |
