Old version in the back, new version in the front. Fresh off the printing bed. Haven’t tested it yet, but pretty happy on first inspection. Have a few sneaky features. Aiming to release it in a month or so to the community. Using it as an excuse to try out Lemmy :-)

    Damn, that’s a ton of hard work… but is it actually practical?? I can’t imagine myself getting used to the shape

      It just takes a bit of practice. I was already a touch typist, so I didn’t find it that hard to learn. Aside from the ergonomic benefits, having the trackball right on the keyboard is huge…no more moving between mouse and keyboard. I use this keyboard or others like it all day at work. I can still type on a normal keyboard at my normal speed, but my strong preference is keyboard like this one :-)
