Funny you mentioned not having the arrow keys and fkeys because we just published a video yesterday explaining why it's better to not have those physical keys present. You can watch it here kzread.info/dash/bejne/nZ-M1pidlMXTg9o.html It might be interesting for you! We will only do 60% keyboards. The reason behind it is that you can create multiple layers and easily switch between them instantly. Every key in every layer can be remapped and can be configured as a macro. You won’t need to leave your home row! This way, you can be more efficient when typing and gaming. You’ll have a compact keyboard with the same and even more functionalities of a full-size one 😊 But having the tenting available is something we're working hard to accomplish! :)

Putting aside the question of vim, in any decent IDE it is easy to change the hotkeys (even Chrome devtools you can change if you enable the experimental feature). IMO, hotkeys involving the function keys aren't great anyway since you can't usually touch-type them and have to stretch your hands way out to reach them. If they're shortcuts you use on a regular basis, I think it is worth considering remapping them anyway.

Do you know of any research regarding (and/or have y'all spent any time thinking about) asymmetric pronation angles? My hands seem to like to land quite differently from each other... something like 20° (from horizontal) on one hand, and 70° on the other.

@DygmaLab

3 жыл бұрын

This makes sense, because we use each hand for different things and may have different strains or tensions on each. We haven't researched it, but it's definitely possible to have different angles for each side with our tenting kit 😊

What I don't understand is if there has been research done suggesting a 45 degree angle of tenting helps relieve the most stress, why is it so hard to find tenting kits or peripherals that typically only go to around 15 degrees max? Even Kinesis' tenting kit is only 15 degrees and the only thing besides this video I've been able to find is placing a Moonlander or split keyboard on a beanie to get enough tilt. And of course this tenting kit is limited in supply and requires a waiting list. I'd be interested in what other people have done for solutions that worked for tenting beyond the 15 degrees offered by most tenting kits - i.e. setting up a keyboard with a 45 to 70 degree tent.

When I was using computers in the 90s, I though everyone would be using ergonomic keyboards by the 2000s, and here we are in 2021 ... Honestly, the thing that I think hurt ergonomic keyboards is just that they cost more. Businesses could either pay $60 per employee, or they could use the keyboard that came in the box with the computer.

Yes ortholinear keyboards are also one to look out for when it comes to ergonomics, although they have a steeper learning curve. But we did create an ortholinear keyboard prior to the Raise (the one in the video). But we saw that the demand was low so we continued with a staggered one as our first product. But we will continue to develop an ortholinear version in the future :)

If you can adjust the chair, try different postures and placements of the keyboard, you can test different distances to the edge of the table. Also, you can adjust the height of the monitor with a book, which will allow to test different chair heights.

Splitting and tenting is only half the truth for ergonomic typing. Also ortholinear or vertically staggered keys, a more ergonomic layout like Colemak and even smaller keyboards with less keys for less finger travel helps to get a better typing experience. I personally use a split vertically staggered keyboard with a 34 key layout. Even if the keyboard has more keys the 34 key layout is still available and the other keys are just for convenience.
