I had some wrist issues a couple of years ago and that pushed me to go to the split keyboard route.
I really love this keyboard. Iām someone who actually quite likes the low profile, laptop style keys, so I didnāt know if Iād enjoy this set up. But I quickly grew to love it.
Bright lights and flashing stuff isnāt really my thing, so Iām really glad I was able to find these keycaps thatās just look nice and clean. Underneath are the most silent cherry reds I could find (Iām also not a big fan out loud keyboards. Blasphemy, I know! š).
And for my biggest nerd cred: Iām so glad I can save my precious Dvorak layout straight to the keyboard. No longer have to deal with Windowsā layout switching.
Nice setup! What was the total cost? Looking into something similar. What made you choose the lily over other alternatives?
Oh thanks!
I think all told I spent about $250, but $70 of that was paying someone to do the initial soldering. Itās something I probably could have done, but I decided itād take me forever to do it.
I didnāt have any specific reason to go with this one other than that I know some people with some Ergodox, and while they are neat, I just wanted something different. And all told I saved $100 with this one. I donāt feel like Iām losing any functionality, either, which is nice, and theoretically I could add more stuff to the screens that the Ergodox obviously doesnāt have.
I also like that they are really small and pretty thin, so taking it with me in my bag isnāt that hard. And setting up on a table is easy and doesnāt take up too much space.
Like your setup. Iām more a smaller keyboard type - but itās a nice setup :-)
Thanks!
Do you have an example of the smaller keyboards you are interested in?
Right now Iām using a Corne keyboard with a 42-key layout. Working on a new Corne with 36/34-key layout.
Something like this layout: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/brianoverby/keymapSVG/main/svg/keymap_3x5-2.svg
Oh wow, and I thought my keyboard was tiny!
