No fancy OP this time because I am running on E! I’m definitely not a couple of days late! This week’s person of interest is you, dear reader. Tell this fat frog lady all about your lovely selves this week. Tell me what makes you laugh and what brings you joy in this hell on earth we call home.
As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:
“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.
Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.
If you are on computers a lot, look into split ergo keyboards too. I’ve seen a lot of people with carpal tunnel and other hand and shoulder issues come to the ergo keyboard subreddit asking about split boards and I even went that route to avoid issues down the road since I’m practically on my computer 24/7.
Yeah it’s basically my profession. I’ve been considering getting one, but I use dictation if I need to do typing mostly at this point. I’m not a writer, so I don’t have to be the speediest.
Dictation is probably even better then lol. I was hesitant to suggest ergo because of the unsolicited advice rule but I’m kind of evangelical about ergo and column staggered boards lol.
Oh this is my first time here so I had no idea even lol.
Anyway, you seem to be in the know. Do you have any recommendations on a split keyboard? My keyboard happens to have shit the bed recently so I am in the market for one anyway
If you want a one and done board and don’t care about falling down the rabbit hole, check out this company: https://www.zsa.io/
If you do however want to go down the rabbit hole, beekeebs is a good place to start: https://beekeeb.com/
Leo at Beekeebs will build the boards for you for an extra fee if you don’t wanna worry about getting your hands too dirty. He also uses Vial firmware that allows for dynamic programming of the boards with minimal fuss. ZSA comes with it’s own software so it’s still gonna be the easier route to go.
You’re amazing for this. Thank you so much
Always glad to help when it comes to my special interests lol. If you have any more questions while looking into keyboards I can try and help.
