Trackballs have ruined trackpad a for me.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

Look at a Charybdis from bastardkb. Got a trackball built into the keyboard.

Lol the price of these fad keyboards are comical... 180€ with no switches and no keycaps?

The hardware is open source, but yes, it is 3D printed.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Its definitely not for everyone but it has saved my wrists at an office job. Can recommend split ergos with risers for people with wrist problems.

I printed and assembled one myself for about $90 for all parts, so I can somewhat understand some of the the prices... But whew that's expensive

[-] b0gl@sh.itjust.works -1 points 5 months ago

180€ is like a day or two of work. It is a fair price in my opinion.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 5 months ago

Except it isn't 180€ cause it's missing parts

[-] b0gl@sh.itjust.works 0 points 5 months ago

Yes. But you have to understand that it is a custom keyboard. It is not meant for the mainstream. For people interested in the hobby; it's not an issue that it comes without keycaps or switches. You get to choose what you want switches to put in it. I personally have over 400 switches and like 6 sets of keycaps. And that's just what I've been collecting over the past five or so years.

Standard galactic alphabet?

[-] xfc@lemdro.id 3 points 5 months ago

This looks rad

Do you have specific keys for SimCity disasters?

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, meteor is for meteor showers, storm cloud for thunder storms obv, and the flux one is for not needing roads.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 7 points 5 months ago

That particular model makes my wrist hurt almost instantly.

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

It's all I know. It was my first one and I got a good deal. Now that I know I like it I'd consider getting a better model but so far I've had no pain with this one.

Haha I have the same ball
