i still have a ball mouse lying around
only problem is its been coated with that horrible rubber plastic thats slowly turning into goop

Kai•8/2/23, 11:48 AM

Yeah I've desperately tried to switch to colemak for a month and I didn't get beyond looking at every single character on my keyboard

LLyris the Kitori i still get reactions out of people with this phone keyboard

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:48 AM

reminds me of the 12 key japanese keyboard
kinda neat tbh

AAqua i still have a ball mouse lying around only problem is its been coated with that...

Kai•8/2/23, 11:49 AM

Yeah my MX has the same problem.... And they don't seem to make proper ergonomic mice (be it by design or by ball) anymore

AAqua reminds me of the 12 key japanese keyboard kinda neat tbh

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:49 AM

yea thats the point

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:49 AM

it's just adapted for english

KKai Yeah my MX has the same problem.... And they don't seem to make proper ergonomic...

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:49 AM

yeah, it's a shame
logitech seems to be the last hope and even then they only have a small selection

You'd absolutely be beaten with sticks as a witch in the "middle" ages

LLyris the Kitori yea thats the point

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:49 AM

ohh ok, cool

KKai You'd absolutely be beaten with sticks as a witch in the "middle" ages

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:50 AM

the reaction made when my friend who i was staying with in washington saw it was hilarious

Kai•8/2/23, 11:50 AM

I forget what it's called, but I wish I could do the typist thing where you cord together words

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:50 AM

stenography

Kai•8/2/23, 11:50 AM

yeah it seems easy enough to pick up and different enough to other inputs to not clash

Kai•8/2/23, 11:51 AM

and it's a super useful skill in my mind

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:51 AM

if you learn it, you'll become the fastest typer on the street
400wpm or some shit idk

Kai•8/2/23, 11:51 AM

like, switching to colemak seems... Very difficult for not that much gain

Kai•8/2/23, 11:52 AM

I can do like 120 WPM on qwerty already, so the extra gain on colemak or smth is small, and it massively clashes with QWERTY muscle memory

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:52 AM

tbh
phone keyboards are utter garbage
i can see it being very useful on a phone

AAqua if you learn it, you'll become the fastest typer on the street 400wpm or some sh...

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:52 AM

my goal is to beat stenographers with a normal kb, so 180WPM on the low end
im at 130 rn

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:52 AM

i might try it cause i spend so long trying to correct myself after typing something only to press the wrong letter 3 or 4 times sometimes

AAqua tbh phone keyboards are *utter garbage* i can see it being very useful on a phon...

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:53 AM

you need all 10 fingers for stenotype keyboards

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:53 AM

it wont work on mobile

Kai•8/2/23, 11:53 AM

Yeah my best ever is 128 wpm

Kai•8/2/23, 11:53 AM

but that's... not representative

LLyris the Kitori i still get reactions out of people with this phone keyboard

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:53 AM

oh is colemak not this one

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:53 AM

colemak is a desktop keyboard layout

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:54 AM

ah
ok

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:54 AM

and unrelated to stenography

LLyris the Kitori i still get reactions out of people with this phone keyboard

Lyris the Kitori•8/2/23, 11:54 AM

AquaOP•8/2/23, 11:54 AM
