  • i didn’t snap any while there, but here are some pics of the place i found online that show you the vibe of the place

    unfortunately over the last few years the place has been gradually transitioning from actual replacements parts for virtually whatever electronic part you have to mostly reselling cheap phone cases from china and regular retail shops, but there are definitely still a ton of shops that sell the kind of stuff shown in the pics

    as for the keyboard, i really enjoyed assembling and soldering it all together (aside from all the trips I had to make in search of necessary components), and by itself i really like the way it turned out

    there is definitely a transitional curve bc of how different the keyboard is to anything i used before that, but i almost immediately felt that the ergonomic benefits were worth it

    split: very cool feature, a lot more comfortable than standard one-piece keyboards, not only for shoulder comfort and being able to angle individual halves better, but also bc you can put stuff between the halves and it’s convenient, plus, there’s virtually no learning curve to a split layout if you type the keys with the right fingers

    otholinear layout: took a little bit of adjusting, but it’s more comfortable than a non-ortholinear layout, bc there’s very little left-to-right movement of fingers, which really puts strain on you

    key columns adjusting for finger length (you can see that the middle column, which you’d type with your middle finger is further compared to the very-right column, which you’d type with your pinkey finger): helps in the sense that your fingers are more naturally positioned, none of them are overextended and none are bent too much, kind of like if you just lay your relaxed palm on a table

    thumb clusters: easily one of the best changes, on a normal keyboard thumbs do almost nothing, but this layout takes advantage of their underutilizedness and strength, giving them useful functions

    overall, i really like it, such niche kbs often turn out to be really expensive bc of low numbers sold, but given its quality i honestly think it wouldn’t have problems for decades to come, and the cables are definitely a hassle and I’m planning on getting the bluetooth controllers with batteries, which you can easily interchange with the current wired ones
