    Perfect keyboard for me, small enough I can carry to work in a tiny case, takes up minimal desk space, I like the low amount of travel of the switches while still being mechanical, 34 keys plus layers also allows me to be able to do everything i need on a computer without my fingers doing crazy maneuvers to hit certain keys

    I bought a ferris sweep 3 months ago. I consider myself a minimalist. I have used many keyboards like lily58, glove80, corne. When I started with the ferris sweep I thought I made a mistake and started seeing other keyboards with a some more keys. I sticked with the ferris sweep and personalized to my exact use case and has been the best keyboard experience I ever had, even better than the glove80 because of the little finger movement. I even consider the ferris to be more ergonomic (for me) than the glove80. I feel that I'm always on the home row. So if you try a ferris sweep, do not abandon it quickly, adjust it and take your time. The curve may be steep at first but is worth it. BTW, if you haven't used split keyboards before, I recommend something like the lily58 that is easier to learn and then move gradually to the sweep.

    Tiny keyboards just can't be for me because they have to be too tailored to how one might use particular or limited set of software or environments/OSes. I'm too spread out in terms of "what I do", and prefer remain just as functional with standard stuff when I possibly am needing to temporarily use someone else's hardware or move around with a laptop format. I use a split keyboard with a thumb cluster, but that's about as far as I go. Happy with a Glove80 for the super comfortable curved keywell and reach, and keeping it QWERTY. One thing I see with the Glove80 that no other split keyboard of any size does comprably well is line up J/K with the same two fingers that control up/down. Though up/down needs to be swapped, that makes them the same two fingers as the vim motions.

  • @timg4262
    @timg4262 15 дней назад

    Really glad to see you starting to modify the keymap later in the vid. When you go lower than 60% there's no one-size fits all. When you go lower than 40 something keys I think you really need to put some thought and trial-and-error into finding what works for you. Some people like to put a lot of work on their thumbs (like thumb shifting), others love home-row mods, and others swear by combos (which is perhaps the gateway to chording and going less than 34 keys). Hold-taps (tap acts like one key, hold acts like another) for things like brackets and frequently used symbols can also be really nice for programming unless you're allergic to small delays when typing symbols.

  • @Jonathan-vg2wo
    @Jonathan-vg2wo 19 дней назад

    for me the sweep is the perfect amount of keys, I use them with home row mods which is really nice for some shortcuts but shift can be annoying to tune properly. also because the choc version is so small it fits in my pocket

    Oh man! I bought one of these years ago, I loved the process of soldering. The "it's not great as a keyboard" is unfortunately too true, but that's kind of why I love it? It's a simple little device that invites you to encounter it's rough spots and still find use in it. It was my first "complete" project that used a mic - but now I'm on to making little personal cyberdecks and doodads - it's all for a hobby, but I cannot recommend it enough, especially if you haven't done anything like this before. It's almost meditative to solder so much, and then when you power it on and press some buttons you get this little gremlin in you that says "BUILD MORE"

You've piqued all of OUR interest but there are still a lot of folks who don't know what it's called. It would be beneficial to see it in the hands of folks in the keyboard community - Folks who know the difference between Cherry and TX stabs or maybe even have some on hand or know how to adjust and tune them. Take the time and build it right and I think you'd benefit from more community input and support. This video alone should have ten times the views it has! Ya'll are doing it right and you're building an absolutely amazing piece of machinery and it'll be nice to see it in action more.

    I’ve been looking into keyboards for a year now. It’s a rabbit hole. I want an ortholinear, split, ergonomic, wired, keyboard. As close to the dactyl design as possible. Other designs to take inspiration from being the moonlander, ergodox ez, dygma defy, UHK 60v2, etc. there are pleanty of other ideas/designs to incorporate into these. Get all the best designs and put it into one keyboard… that’s my dream. A keyboard custom built for humans hands, like a glove. Shoot, I have a 2 whole playlist dedicated to just ergo keyboards on youtube and my browser. I’m even considering learning a new key layout. Dvorak, halmak, rsthd. Sadly most come in DIY packages or are just way too expensive. Seriously the average price for these is like $280-$350. That’s crazy!!!! We need more innovation. Our input devices are so outdated.
