I only use JIS right now due to its posibilities in combination with some programmability software/gadget. This made me stop trying any new keyboards. I find this Leopold keyboard quite interesting. Anyway, from what I've read elsewhere, these two extra buttons act as mouse buttons, I don't think th...

That's the point. I never understood that neither.andrewjoy wrote: ↑Wait people used unity ? Why would anyone use anything other than i3 ?
Anyway, does it really matter about Unity? I've always been able to apt-get install whatever wm/DE I wanted.

I tried to open it and it was clear from the start that it was not going to be easy, so I didn't. After a couple of weeks use it feels very natural to me. I already don't hit the boundaries with the bar and pointer precission is quite good for day to day use. Using these settings right now: xinput s...

I've been using the Red model during all the week. Just as I could not go back to a regular mouse after using a good trackball like L-Trac or Slimblade (being the former by far more precise), I can not think of going back to a trackball after using this pointer. The Rollermouse is a very robust devi...

True davkol, I won a button. Later took a look to the manual and saw some extra settings that can be customized. That software to customize button actions seems a windows one. I'll try it at home with a windows computer. The settings that can be managed with the device itself do persist after unplug...

Got the Re:d, just for one reason, has the shortest width amongst them all. Used with a HHKB the Rollermouse has an acceptable width. I don't know at all if one of the other two models would have been better suited for me but this one is ok. I use Linux with several fullhd monitors and a tiling wm, ...

Just plugged my new Rollermouse Red at work, and these are my conclussions after using if (for approximately one minute :lol:): The pointer is incredible comfortable to reach, really. It is at a perfect position both pointer and buttons so typing and using pointer behave like one single device, it i...

I am seriously considering to get a Rollermouse. My motivation is purely functional, not health related. I am into 12 hours a day keyboard use with 60% keyboard to never ever lose track of J/K keys. The only thing that makes me lose F/J position is using the trackball. Do you think that the benefits...

I am a big fan of quiet tactility, thus my experiences have been in this order: Cherry MX clear: more tactile than browns but has a fake feeling. Upstroke can't be silenced. Matias Quiet Click: big upgrade step, more quiet with a real tactile feeling. Upstroke and downstroke dampened. Topre: big upg...

I'm considering getting a phantom PCB and using 7bit's layout, have you seen it? https://deskthority.net/w/images/e/ea/Phantom_7BIT_001.png . The bottom row uses 1.5u keycaps, of which I have 2 blanks and two "Space" ones :-D. That is a quite decent layout, split spacebar but I could get used to it...

Availability of JIS 60% keyboards
Hey guys, I've been using the JIS layout exclusively for so long that I don't remember when I started with it. The question is that I only have Topre keyboards with this layout and I am already so productive with it that I can't use any other of my ISO keyboards like my crisp Matias or my light Cher...

I'm using an HHKB with Hasu's usb-usb converter and I can't think of anything better. Pros: you can program several layers on it (I've got layers setup specifically for standard ISO, Matias ISO, Standard JIS and HHKB JIS) and move between them on the fly with a keystroke, so you can use any keyboard...

If you like standard layouts HHKB JIS has a weird bottom left layout, where you end with 5 keys on the left of Space. I ended with two windows keys so I somewhat can press the keys where I would expect them to be and it works. Besides that it is a really good keyboard (I still prefer a Realforce, bu...

Yes, if you push and instantly release (like you would normally do to send a single keystroke) it behaves as a Space key. If you otherwise push and hold it for a threshold (in ms, don't remember its default value, but quite low) then it becomes a modifier and don't send Space key code on release. Fo...
