02:19 verisimilitude My keyboard should arrive today, after which I'll be typing more again.
~ 11 hours 55 minutes ~

16:21 dpb asciilifeform, my node caught up some time this morning or afternoon
16:24 asciilifeform dpb: congrats!

17:19 verisimilitude I type this on my new keyboard.
17:20 verisimilitude I type rather slowly, for now.
17:24 verisimilitude I'm not yet certain it's more ergonomic, as I hit each key rather hard.
~ 43 minutes ~
18:07 asciilifeform verisimilitude: hit hard because springs are stiff? or some other reason?
18:12 * asciilifeform when reviewed the vintage microwriter, considered the lack of individual adjustment for the keys to be its primary weakness
18:12 asciilifeform for 10 (or even 5, on one-handers) keys, it'd be eminently practical
18:13 asciilifeform (pedant could note, 'microwriter had 6 keys'. but 6th arguably 'meta'.)
18:18 asciilifeform iirc there was at least 1 'chorder' where one could pull a key 'down' (towards wrist) as well as pressing -- permitting no less than 242 distinct symbols
18:19 asciilifeform if anyone can recall which device this was -- plox to write in.
18:22 verisimilitude I'm still rather slow with this.
18:23 * asciilifeform never got far beyond ~1 char/s w/ 'microwriter'. but did not try for very long.
18:23 verisimilitude No, hitting hard because I'm unaccustomed, perhaps.
18:24 verisimilitude I'm slowly getting faster.
18:24 asciilifeform in the mw, though not adjustible, the keys were imho done right -- ultra-light touch, closer to mouse clicker than any pc kbd action in the force required
18:24 asciilifeform at the same time it made it reasonably comfortable to rest the fingers.
18:26 verisimilitude At least my fingers aren't flailing around.
18:26 asciilifeform thinking about it, modern components would make it reasonably practical to (1) measure the force applied by the user (2) adjust stiffness to individual fingers to make for constant perceived effort
18:27 verisimilitude Still, I can tell I've been typing with it.
18:28 asciilifeform verisimilitude: i.e. tiring? (or opposite?)
18:28 verisimilitude Yes, tiring.
18:28 asciilifeform aa
18:29 asciilifeform verisimilitude: which kbd was this again? 'bat' 1-hand ?
18:29 verisimilitude Yes.
18:29 asciilifeform at 1 pt i tried to find a teardown, but not found. still have nfi what's in it (specifically, which switches)
18:32 verisimilitude I've read they're mounted upside-down, for ease.
18:33 verisimilitude This seems true, at a glance.
18:35 verisimilitude I know notice the stress felt isn't in my hands.
18:35 verisimilitude It's mostly near my elbow.
18:38 asciilifeform verisimilitude: could be from position of hand, rather than the keys. gotta experiment.
18:38 verisimilitude I'm not very relaxed, but perhaps this will change.
18:38 verisimilitude Yes.
18:38 * asciilifeform always pictured that a 1hand chorder would work well attached to chair handrest
18:39 verisimilitude It probably would.
18:41 asciilifeform and ftr imho 1 of the thumb reachable positions oughta be a trackball.
18:42 asciilifeform (as i understand, engelbart's chorder was meant to be used with a similar philosophy -- in left hand, with mouse in right, for cursor-local commands)
18:42 verisimilitude Well, I've already a trackball.
18:43 asciilifeform rright, but i expect it takes up whole hand while in use
18:44 asciilifeform (as mine does)
18:49 verisimilitude Yes.
