I do stuff sometimes and I want to show you. Now gather around.
A Guide to Weird Keyboards
In this pilot video for my channel, I explain small, column-stagger, split keyboards. This video explains the reasoning behind the seemingly strange form-factor of split keyboards, and how we can take a full-size keyboard and fit it in a much smaller keyboard by using layers.
Let's break it down:
- Take a full-size keyboard.
- Remove the numpad (and get a TKL).
- Make everything more compact (and get a 75%).
- Put less used keys on a layer* (and get a 65%).
- Put keys away from home row on a layer (and get a 40%).
- Stop fingers from moving sideways (and get an Ortholinear keyboard).
- Allow typing with hands at shoulder width by splitting the keyboard.
- Account for different finger lengths by mo...

Drops a video with the clearest explanation of keyboards, Refuses to do any other video, leaves. Absolute chad.
bro which keyboard is this?
thank you
nice guide❤
Do you mind sharing your keymaps on the keyboard you are using?
This video is the most comprehensive I can find, I it took me some efforts to find it again. Now it is saved. Good work.
this is awesome video, it explain every why they did this. i just got a split keyboard myself but mine is much bigger, i cant live with 3 rows man i would cry, but maybe one day.
As an engineer, this is great. The why and not the what. Thank you, glad my monotonous search queries eventually had this pop up in my recommended.
The video length... Wysi 🔵🔵🔵
The clearest intro to this universo so far. When are you going to upload more?
all sold out :(
OMG, your keyboard is ridiculous! Not bad ridiculous, just ridiculous. I'm too old to keep a mental map like that in my head. Even though I can type I still need to look every now and then, particularly for keys like Page Up and left/right. Very impressed you can use that without any symbols on the keys.
Nice video. I'm a court reporter, so I'm used to a totally different keyboard that lets me fly. But I learned a bit more about why I like my Apple keyboard more than a regular one!
This was so clear and concise. Hope you get more views
Explained so clearly, thank you!
Nice breakdown on a variety of keyboards. I wonder if you have tried anything other than QWERTY in your experience? For example, the DecaTxt chord keyboard only has ten keys but still produces all of the keystrokes.
now add keyboard with keywell hah
Incredibly well explained, thank you!
if you get fatigue for extending your fingers, then you get bigger problems than the keyboard, you need to 1. feed properly, 2. workout properly. 3. have a proper routine based on the circadian rhythm. These are obviously lifestyle changes so you need to learn about habit management to be able to successfully change habits.
Nice video 😂
Cool. Rhough, I don't think the split is as practical as just having a batwing-style mono chassis keyboard. Yeah, the splits can be stacked back to back, but having to faff about with 2 keyboards is still more clunky than just whipping out a batwing/boomerang shape keeb and plugging it in.
What is the name of that keyboard with navigation keys in the middle?
did he show a face of himself because if he did not he needs to do a face reveal
great video thank you !!!
Subscribed and crushing on your script writing!
Since you have both which would you recommend between the Nyquist and the Kyria and why?
I knew most of this, but as someone who already has a split keyboard, and is looking to buy a customized one (like the Iris), could you also talk about keycaps and key switches? I mean I try to understand linear and "clicky", but so many people talk about "choc" and things like that I can't find a good explanation for.
Legendary video. This is the one I will share to discuss my addiction.
The best!
Great guide 🙂
hey, do you play chess?
I don't understand why I can't just buy that small wireless keyboard that you had at the end of the video? I DON"T UNDERSTAND. JUST TAKE MY MOINEY AND GIVE ME READY TO USE keyboard. Why is it so difficult???
What should be my search term if I am looking for key caps like at 3:05? I want to see what is on other layers printed on the keycaps.
Such a lucid explanation amazing Just missing explanation of key Wells and thumb clusters
Great video man, very informative!!!
It's all fun and games until someone has to press "← + Shift + A"
You can do that in a layer
Excellent video, very clear and informative
Really best video about keyboard types ❤
Whats the top left keyboard at 6:27 ?
nice atleast someone is goingg in the direction of creativity and exploration , nice try the palnk keyboard
this is a great video! it's a shame you stopped and haven't shot anything else! you're good at it!
Probly the best video about keyboards I've seen in years.
I know you haven't uploaded a video in 3 years, but I really like your keyboard and I was wondering if it would be too much to ask you to upload a video typing code with your keyboard.
So you never showed the keyboard on you home page which has two pieces that are each 6 keys wide
Hey man please do more videos! Your content here is awesome
great video. what is the name of the big ortho keyboard at 4:17?
I had to do a double take the moment you pulled up the same kb i use with the same exact keycaps at 2:40 lmao
Great info 👍
Would love to see more videos from you. This was excellent. As a coder, I wonder what it’s like using this keyboard with programs with a lot of their own unique key combinations, such as VIM.
What is the keyboard you use at 7:00? It looks great. As a programmer myself, I have struggle to find something that allows me to type all necessary punctuation
