I 3D printed the Reform laptop main box (I was too cheap to by the original aluminum parts) and stuck a case-less external MNT keyboard 3.0 and trackball 2.0 together with a tiny USB hub into it. I wanted to avoid having to leave the keyboard with my hands when I need the mouse cursor at my work desktop.

@josch I wounder if the #MNZreform also supports a #Trackpoint #Keyboard...

Hello! Ich hab da mal was für euch Nerds und Nerdettes gebaut. Naja zumindest komme ich damit ganz gut klar.
Das KYB3R_KEYS Layout.
Ein Keyboardlayout mit Fokus auf Vim, Terminal und TilingWM Nutzung. Es hat viel Mate und Hirnschmalz gekostet. Habt Spaß beim testen 😘

@nerdbude Ich brauch halt 24 F-Tasten und Zusatzfunktionen...

Nen #UltraNav-mäßihen #Trackpoint wäre nice...

@kkarhan@mstdn.social avatar

And yes, I think that the @frameworkcomputer could use a #TrackPoint like the #UltraNav...

Seriously, #Framework: Give #Sprintek a call and ask them to build you a #ThinkPad-Style #Keyboard with Trackpoint.

Why am I getting 500 server errors I try to attach an image?

I was able to attach this screenshot that I pasted from my clipboard.

@mrbruno consider a #Trackpoint as alternative?

Noone has done a #DIY #122Key(+) #Keyboard to this day.

C'mon #CustomKeyboard Gang...

Y'all disappoint me with your 40%, 65% and 85% layouts!

I found the perfect idea for a #Torture #Keyboard:

A 100% (122+ keys) board where EVER KEY HAS A DIFFERENT SWITCH!

Force someone to type on that and they'll go completely nuts on hot it fucks with their mind...

This is tech sadism that makes even the most tough people call me a monster!

@kkarhan@mstdn.social avatar

@jennzycos My problem is that I love my #Trackpoint but the #ModelM13 aka. #Unicomp #EnduraPro only gets like 104 keys max.

@jennzycos @fuchsiii and yes, a really is a gamechanger!

It's just intuitive gestures on a keyboard!

:boost_ok: :boost_requested:
.

I'm looming for a thiny (kinda lie a 60% or 40% board that is tiny) that connects via (wired!) to any host device.

Kinda like the or the but it needs to be either FLOSH or at least be still made to this day AND work natively as Keyboard.

It can't be wireless!!!

kkarhan, (edited )
@kkarhan@mstdn.social avatar

And yes I know all those wireless keyboards that exost and the fact that someone converts new old stock #BackBerry keypads to #USB - not to nention the various USB Tablet Cases..

But I do want something like the #Nokia #Communicator or #Motorola #Fliput in terms of #size and form.

Bonus points if it has an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint!

Yes, I'm a "#Trackpoint Supremacist" since it's the superior input method on the go, in crammed space and when a mouse is not an option...

And yes, I do think that one can even game with it!

23R0, to mechanicalkeyboards

Moonlander, kinesis, ergodox, so many options for split keyboards - but not a single one with a built in trackpoint! Surely there must be a market for it... Hey Tex.com.tw - I love my shinobi, but would you please split it ergonomically down the middle for me, so that my back also loves it?

@23R0
The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard has a module

They’re expensive like all the boutique ergo boards

And I haven’t tried one

But it’s the one I know of that’s in production

now available in black and purple (and caseless for the MNT Reform laptop): the new MNT Reform Keyboard 3.0 (open hardware) with traditional stagger and convex space bars. https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-keyboard-30

@mntmn what I'm missing is an #UltraNav-Style #Trackpoint...

Cuz that'll be a killer!
