That is an amazing video, I wish I had your skills.

Thanks for sharing. Were all of the boards from your collection and how many people were at the event? The Typematrix 2030 isn't mine. The owner uses a customised bepo layout. It's really good to meet someone else with an interest in these things.

There was around 12 people, maybe more I think ...

Here's a few pictures from this evening.

The keymouse was well received. I'm impressed with it so far.

Plus I want to get a picture of this next to my Kinesis Advantage.

Here's a few photos from the first time I ran this.

This time, it's held at Microgaming's office (They let a local tech group I belong to use one of their meeting rooms in their frankly gorgeous building).

In the unlikely event you find yourself on the Isle of Man later this week, I'm exhibiting some of my collection, along with a brief presentation.

I'll be bringing a Datahand Pro II, a Keyboardio, a keymouse if ...

Do it, I'll buy a copy.

Just keep going. Vertical mice (left or right) feel really clumsy at first, and after a few years I'm still faster with a flat mouse in my right hand, but after a while that would start to hurt. In my my, the transition was well worth it.

Jaw dropping collection!

Cindy, please accept my best wishes.

Their blog is fascinating reading. I'm delighted by the attention to quality throughout.

Oh, yes, I'm eagerly awaiting a keyboard.io. looks like they are getting close to shipping.

I have to admit to just using a laptop at home, but then I don't tend to type much outside of work. I do have a few 'normal' boards, too.

Nice spot! The M15 was quite popular, along with the cherry and the cykey. I tend towards ergo keyboards as I have an issue with my nerves in my arms (not as ...

I joined a tech group just a few weeks back, they were thinking of a subject for the following week so I mentioned that I had a collection of ergo boards that might be of at least some interest.

Here's how it turned out...

Had some nice comments, and someone suggested doing it again during litfest ...

Sadly, the Simon Andrews memorial lap, dedicated to the riders who have lost their lives to the races, had to be cancelled due to a crash before the roads were closed for it.

PS, you'd be more than welcome to visit!

Thanks for organising! Your pm made me chuckle to myself for a few days.

Brutal is a good description, slightly over 100 years of races has claimed over 250 lives.

I met my second keyboard enthusiast today!

As part of xmits customer care outreach plan (more on this later), I met up with DilbertProgrammer and his wife. Had a great evening! Couldn't have asked for better company,

It's the Isle of Man, and the TT is on. The normal population of the Island is ...

Any smaller than the frogpad, you'll end up with something like the gkos.

Have you considered using the mouse with your other hand. It's a pretty cheap change, takes a while to get used to it, but it could give you some flexibility if your symptoms change in the future.

I'd suggested trying as many boards as you can, which might not be easy. The more the change, the ...

That's a beautiful board.

I want to say something really nice about the keyboard and I know it cost you a chunk or two out of your hand, but it's clearly the result of a work of love, passion, vision... but every time I re-write it, it sounds like I'm trying to say that it was worth sacrificing ...

Cool name!

Interested to see how this turns out.

I used my zx81 enough to put a dent in the shift key. I gave that one to a friend when I was still at school, but I picked up another 81 about 10 years ago. So, that's my oldest at the moment.

Same here, but I'd still buy it.

...just amazed.

...can't believe I forgot the ErgoPro - nice pick.

A few keyboards to take a look at -
Kinesis Advantage
Kinesis Freestyle
Goldtouch.

Since you've just ordered a keyboardio, I can understand that you'd be reluctant to spend out again on a keyboard. I've gone through several goldtouches (given them away) that I've either bought new or from ebay. The ...

It's either me or JotaCe, either way is fine by me!

I'll check with the post if I can ship to Isle of Man. DPD doesn't ship there and I'm too poor for fedex :(
You should have seen the quote I got for shipping to Greece. I'm glad the courier dropped the service before I could recover from the ...

JotaCe, could we tempt you to stay on this list?
