Either it will be become an important key (“Windows/Super”) or it won’t (Context menu). Microsoft is being eye-rollingly cringey with the specific keyboard requirement, but I assume there are probably about a million more concerning things about “AI PCs” than the keyboard button.

Also, mech keyboards for the win. Nobody is forcing keyboard nerds to do shit with their keycaps. 😂

Context menu is indispensable for me. So many commands can be done mouseless because of this.

Been thinking about getting an ergonomic split board, I'd prefer wireless. Any recommendations?

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

My thing is more "unwieldy hand-wires that don't really need to exist." For you though, the simple answer is a wireless "Alice" from Keychron. They have a few variations going from about $100-$200, a little less if you can live with a wire. Beyond that, you can look for Ergodox or go smaller to Corne. You end up with a lot of DIY or even commissions in that space, though, as it's sort of by definition going to attract people looking for something personalized.

You could be in luck, though: while none are much of a hub, the most active keeb community on Lemmy is probably the !ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world one.

Ah I was hoping for a split board. Thanks for the suggestions though I was looking at the corner and the chocify before.

It's you're actually concerned about ergonomics you should look into the Glove80.

Damn right. I'm just a prebuilt user but it was the best decision I ever made and I'm never going back.
