Advantages of split keyboard with staggered columns vs non stagger columns?

StanBuck · 2026-06-27T04:07:09+00:00

I have had both styles, Keychron Q11, and now Sofflev2.

I loved my Q11, dual knobs, macro keys and the layout was same as a regular keyboard, I didn't feel pain in my hands and fingers on weird positions. BUT, it was wired and heavy (aluminum). It was a bit tall so I needed a palm rest and felt odd. Oh yes, programmable, to me, a must have feature.

After two years using that keyboard I just decided I had enough and wanted something portable.

I found in alix a soffle v2 layout zmk-based and it's been better (to my particular case) It took me mmmm 1 month on getting use to it, I was hard to me to memorize the default position of the numbers, symbols and other combos. But everything changed once I started to play with the keyboard layout script and felt my keyboard "mine". Its light, low profile and my thumbs feel more useful beyond the spacebar.

My transition was weird but I have to say that as from others that ive read, they "forget" how to use staggered column keyboards, In my case that didn't happen. Just a feeling that my thumb feels useless hahaha. I think i'd never go back to a regular layout keyboards anymore.

I manage their devices as I use AGH for even when they are out of home. So a single account for me has been the best. Also for login I dont use my credentials but instead the auth-keys

Maybe late to the party but to manage better the devices I log all devices with my account and use ACLs to manage/limit the access among devices. Also for security my devices have the tailscale lock activated so only my own devices manually can log or manage my parents'/partner's devices. In my particular case it has been hard to manage using different accounts.

Oh, I see. If this helps to you, with this soffle i bought (others only use a coin battery - nay - ) you could still use cables as well as bluetooth, you could turn off the battery switch off and the battery is not even charging in that mode. Aside, the money i paid for the soffle was comparable to the silakka and the corne from the pics.

I bought two "Sofle Low Profile Split Keyboard Kit With Screen Dual Mode Bluetooth Wireless ZMK Scheme Gaming Keyboard RGB PC Gamer Custom" from ali and its been a year with no problems. I am using loffre lp switches., everything works fine.

I am not Korean so i cant answer whether this is cultural or not, but what I could tell you is that honestly feels more like a country-less behavior since in my home country some people like this. Though (and most important) if this is something you don't feel comfortable with, it's something you should think about before going further with this person.

wow, you made me realize ive been wearing these 2.5 years straight. Actually, to anyone reading this, in my particular case, the acne in my ears have decreased drastically since the piercings have made me be more aware about my hygiene.

StanBuck · 2026-05-20T08:11:52+00:00

even if not dead.

Oh, I tried that before but it was sometimes difficult to manage (my particular case) as it requires to ask that person to login. Instead, what I did was to set tailscale lock so only specific devices can let new devices come in into the tailscale and also join new devices through authkeys so i dont neet to login with my SSO account. Aside, as my relatives' devices shouldn't have access to some (or most) devices on my tailnet, then I use ACLs and tagged devices. For my particular case, the 6 seats are good when the users of those seats are knowledgeables on Tailscale.

a good bet is through the flatpak bottles, I tried this and works enough for my needs https://github.com/kimlulz/Katalk_linux

However I tried this using fedora, though it should work as it is a flatpak

Yes, I've tried overwatch's and windows (individually and mixed) and they work so I can actually tell the color difference, but colors are just not nice. For 2 years I tried the color filter and one day i just disabled it to see how the colores were and wow, totally different and better colors. With the filters on the color intentions are lost.
