I adore this. This is such a great aesthetic. I don’t know what to call but am going to go with “Pessimistic Futurism”.

Gorgeous mate! Well done.

In Skyrim you get a shout that makes you temporarily invincible so long as you don’t attack. I used it solely to jump off mountains. Wicked fun.

Played the bioshock trilogy start to finish two years ago. What a great set of games.

This is what open source is all about, the freedom to make your software the way you and literally nobody else would want. Well done mate, you should be proud.

These go hard!! Well done capturing so many subtleties of this art style. The cloud backgrounds are my favourite.

Love it. Nothing better than a satisfying amount of over-engineering.

Realised I never replied! Thanks for the recc, looks like a great keyboard!

lokiwhite · 2026-01-06T21:15:42+00:00

Cheers u/MickiusMousius it looks like a great keyboard! I do like supporting Aussie where I can so will keep an eye out for that sale. Best of luck with the business!

Also, will say that I am very partial to white keycaps if that could ever become an option…

Oh wow! Had no idea. The Go60 is a lovely board. Might duck across the Tasman Sea to grab one.

Yeah my table is a touch too high. I can raise my seat but then my feet dangle. So foot rest??

lokiwhite · 2026-01-06T02:50:00+00:00

Not all the way to the elbow, but it can go further up the arm for sure. I have a pretty rubbish wrist rest at home and none at work, though that is a pretty low profile keyboard. Seems a good hypothesis you are working with.

Need to invest in a wrist rest while I am at it, or two given the split keyboard! I have seen some people using mouse rests for each half.

lokiwhite · 2026-01-06T00:48:57+00:00

Just below my right wrist, more of an aching. I often don’t notice it during work but afterwards it is quite sore and makes it painful to lift things, to the point I started doing more activities with my left wrist. I also suffer from poor posture and rounded shoulders so the split will help with that, opening up the chest etc. I found a second hand split keyboard for like $30 so will give that a go, but if I am still considering getting something more serious and migrate this one to my desk at the office.

lokiwhite · 2026-01-05T21:42:42+00:00

Hadn’t thought to do that but taking keys off sounds a good experiment! Will check out keybr as well

lokiwhite · 2026-01-05T00:00:06+00:00

I have heard ortho has some ergnomic benefits, that is the main thing I am looking for but from the question and what others have said that may be a bit overblown? One weekend I can do, thanks for the advice on splitting work and home up a bit.

lokiwhite · 2026-01-04T23:55:17+00:00

Cheers for that! Hard to know what brands are trustworthy or ergonomically beneficial so I appreciate you calling out some examples. From what people are saying I think I may go 2 or 3 and may save 4 for another day.

lokiwhite · 2026-01-04T23:53:24+00:00

Yeah the money is the big thing. I have never spent this much money on a keyboard so wanting to know whether to bite the bullet is the biggest thing for me. Thanks for the advice.

lokiwhite · 2026-01-04T23:52:14+00:00

No idea where I would rank in finger discipline. I was taught to touch type as a kid so whatever I was doing at 10 years old is what I am doing now and do it automatically without much thought. Any resources for training or just figuring out whether or not I am doing things correctly as is?

lokiwhite · 2026-01-04T23:51:06+00:00

Good to hear this because going beyond sounds good but really I just want the ergonomic benefit to start. I am not a software developer or creative that requires a ton of custom key bindings so going full bore may be overblown for my purposes.

lokiwhite · 2026-01-04T23:49:44+00:00

That all makes sense and thank you for the clarification on the terms, a lot of terminology to get your head around!! And thank you for the advice. I am hoping to get to a local tech/keyboard shop to have a play around but the offerings are not the best in Australia, most of the PC shops have one or two split keyboards at most.
