walletburner Neuron with GMK Future Funk. Gateron Oil Kings L/F and a custom cut 5mm PC plate for that extra thoccyness.

Also cat.

How do you type numbers on this keyboard?

NoJudgies t1_jckv3u3 wrote

This is cool and all, but do you never need to type a number? You don't play any games or work with any software that uses F keys? Colons, semicolons, slashes? No punctuation?

You don't have to like it, I was just answering your question assuming it was in good faith.

There is a trade off between using layers and moving your hands away from the home row. Using a small keyboard and layers results in much less hand movement overall.

Nice thing about this hobby is everyone can choose whatever suits their needs and preferences.

Indeed. I got a Vortex Core recently to reduce lateral wrist movement (ulnar deviation). My hand barely moves from the home position and it's quite comfortable. I also have a sensible, reliable, dependeable Filco 60% with silent switches for meetings and such to complement the loud, clicky, flashy-RGB Core.

I also enjoy the process of learning new key combos and slowly mastering them.

Lovely build, by the way. I really like the clean look + pastel notes. Looks delicious :D

Agreed. I get the love and all but turning something simple into something more complex for the sake of minimalism is something that baffles me. I can press 1 button and get the number 1. From memory, reflex. Why would I want to turn that into a multi level/button action?

I get you. Minimalism drove me that way. And I'm surprised how fast I learned to accomodate to that new layout. I type as fast as before, including numbers and punctuation.

YourMatt t1_jclq6xr wrote

Replying to AbSoluTc (#2,254,740)

I was going to more fully argue the intention, but since OP agreed with your assessment, I'll just give an anecdote that minimalism isn't a factor for me. I like 40s because I don't have to move my hands. It's more comfortable and I'm more accurate. I do software development and accounting work. I'm not fighting my keyboards at all. It truly is the most efficient way for me.

OP's keyboard is 12u though, and I personally think that anything under 13u forces you to fight the layout, particularly with development work.

Eh. Kidneys degrade and eventually die, they are barely modular. This will outlast even you if taken care of. So worth it.

Replying to HAPPY_NIHILIST_333 (#2,256,295)

Without any problems. I just needed a few days getting used to it. I'm mostly playing CSGO and other FPS games, so pretty straight forward. Numbers are in the first row if the left spacebar is held down. Layers.

Isn't it difficult to reach curly braces and other punctuation?

1

thepropbox OP t1_jclxap9 wrote

Replying to lestrenched (#2,256,385)

Not at all! Curly braces are on O/P when the key besides the left spacebar is held. I have Auto-Shift enabled so (while the mod key is held) tapping O/P gives me squared brackets. When holding the key longer than 125ms, it gives me curlies :)

is this just layer-city ? as someone who codes as my side hustle, and uses excel in my day hustle, i can't understand how someone could find any comfort using a keyboard like this.

thepropbox OP t1_jcm046w wrote

Replying to thestareater (#2,256,553)

For some people this works even better. On the 40s discord there are people showing videos of how they program with it. You can customize it however you like. I'm in IT and mostly work in an Unix shell with the occasional scripting. It's easy once you have found your layout :)

What do you do on your computer primarily? I'd hate the absence of special characters, even if they're still there but under a layer or long press/double tap

It really wouldn't. There's a huge number of python engineers working in academia who think python is as widely used outside of academia as it is within academia.

The reality is it's pretty much exclusively used in academia. In two decades working in this industry I have never even seen a line of python code in my life except for a few blog posts here with sample code and there and even that is extremely rare.

Outside of academia, the best reaction you can hope for is "it must be good, so many other people use it!" but there a lot of people feel the same way about python as a vaccine scientist feels about homeopathy.

I personally think the world would be a better place if python disappeared tomorrow. I've seen articles saying it's 50x slower than other languages. If that's even remotely true - holy shit why would anyone use it for that reason alone? Also the whitespace rules are bullshit. And duck typing is bullshit. It uses garbage collection which is terrible. I could go on.

Many of the flaws in python also exist in other languages, but all of those other languages have other redeeming qualities (e.g. JavaScript is fast and runs everywhere). Python has zero redeeming qualities.

So do you memorize dozens of macros to use it fully? Do you ever forget things like long L to get ';' ?

Edit: I see you've pretty much already answered in other comments! Interesting, I love the look, but just can't. I don't want to press multiple keys to type a character!

Otherwise I'd only use boards like this, they look awesome

Tell that to Discord, Instagram, Ubuntu (and many other distros).

Also speed isn't everything, especially if it comes at the cost of increased crashes due to errors from code complexity.

Plus most libraries are written in C/C++ anyway, so the performance really is not as much of a problem as you make it seem in your comment

Strong typing gives Python an advantage over weakly typed languages like PHP and JS in managing complexity. But I see the advent of type annotations as an attempt to deal with the complexity large systems that people have built, like the ones you mentioned. Much like Typescript tries to do the same with JS code bases.

I've seen my fair share of hard to reason about Python code that breaks at run-time.

I'd rephrase what you said to "Speed isn't everything if you're IO bound." The places where Python has traditionally has been most popular is where it's shoving data around with perhaps some small manipulations. Feeding render pipelines at ILM, web development after people got fed up with the absence of design in PHP 3/4/5 or inheriting unreadable Perl CGI and now datascience and machine learning where it's used to hands on explore the data massage and then do the bulk of work in libraries implemented in Rust or C(++).

If correctness and speed aren't vital, it let's you do a lot with very little. And there's a large community that shares their tooling to help deal with those shortcomings (mypy, pyright, pyre, hypothesis, pandas, polars, PyO3) so you can postpone reimplantation of your Python prototype in a language that is more able to the point where it is unfeasible to do so.
