I’ll have to give before the storm a try! That’s disappointing to hear that the third one was also a let down.

My girlfriend and I really enjoyed playing Life is Strange together like this. I think we both enjoyed the setting and characters quite a bit (high school in the Pacific Northwest). We tried Life is strange 2, but never really got into it.

I actually had originally intended to use the 5 pin switches, but the PCB I ordered only had holes for 3 pin. Fortunately, I had extras. I guess I should’ve used a case?

It’s just a piece of cardboard that I taped it to. I’ve since replaced the floral washi tape with something more neutral hahaha.

I have 2 ergodox EZs, a homemade redox that uses Bluetooth, and a homemade dactyl manuform.

For ergonomics, I’d say these are my priorities:

1. Split
2. Ortholinear with staggered columns
3. Tented
4. Mechanical switches

The arrangement of keys on the ergodox got me to start typing correctly, and I think the split helped a lot with my posture.

I had some bad luck with my dactyl manuform, the tenting was too aggressive, and the thumb cluster was angled in such a way that it put lots of strain on my thumb. I’m currently looking at replacing that with a Ferris Sweep.

Bluetooth was a mistake, the latency was unbearable. It led to one half of the keyboard being consistently slower than the other half, so I’d constantly make mistakes. I used nice!nanos fwiw.
