Yes it's to keep my wrists a bit further apart but also to give my pinky fingers less work to do.

Yeah I'm new to it and still getting used to it. I've gone the slow but accurate route, which is incredibly frustrating, but I'll get there.

Haha its actually a Neon Genesis Evangelion themed keycap set so the additional keycaps are icons of the angels. I have them wired up to Vim and AutoHotkey shortcuts.

It's mostly a copy of my 34 key layout so the thumb keys are shift - space - enter - layer. Having the spacebar would throw that off. I was tempted but in the end I didn't want to lose a key on the top three rows for "enter".

 

I ordered this on a whim and got a cheap set of keycaps off Amazon for it, but now that I have it put together (plastic switch plate, tape modded, gateron cap golden yellows, double o-ringed keycaps) it is sounding and feeling really good. The keycaps were a cheap but they are bright and fun. I might make it my "throw in a bag and take into the office" keyboard.

Absolutely delighted to see these postmatch threads here!

I didn't even know they had came over. Thanks.

 

I'm humming and hawing over which split 36-key or thereabouts keyboard to get, either pre-soldered or as a kit to do the soldering myself (which would be an adventure because it has been a minute).

I'm pretty sure I want five columns not six, because I don't see the point of giving my pinky extra work. I'm not sure about giving my thumb two or three keys for layers. Three keys would probably give me more options but I don't want to get all layered out, you know?

Any thoughts on that? I know there is huge potential for going down the rabbithole here but assuming I get one keyboard, would I be better getting more rather than less - six columns - to play with layouts and layers? Or just go with my gut and get 5x3+2 right at the start?

 

There hasn't really been much buy in on the eSports front on Lemmy that I have seen so I thought I would create a general community for esports discussion, in advance of communities appearing for specific eSports.

So if you want to talk about ESL and Blast for CSGO, LCS for LOL, CDL for COD, RLCS for Rocket League or whatever the hell Valorant has please join in.

What the hell is this? Trans person here. This is not the thread to start concern trolling about trans issues. If you really want a space to talk freely about your concerns you can start a community or even your own instance.

Ah. I did notice that some folk have been, um, rather enthusiastic about creating new communities ... 😬

 

I was never a huge poster on Reddit and certainly never a mod so I don't have that level of experience. Should I try creating a community here on lemmy.world myself? Or should I stick to making suggestions and leave it to people with more experience?

[–] hannadryad@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I'm optimistic although I know I probably won't have the same kind of conversations about esports I had on Reddit.

I guess I will have to scout around a bit to see if there are groups for things in local feeds on other lemmy instances that I can't see here? Rather than re-inventing the wheel?
