Well, there also are people like me, who use it because it’s a productivity beast and being able to have control over everything while barely even moving your hands feels great. I never had much trouble with pain or discomfort unless I was typing with my full speed for extended periods. I tend to get tensed up easily, so then it was a problem. Otherwise, I was fine. Just wanted to see whether small keyboards are as cool as people make them. Hell yeah, they’re even cooler.

I think getting a bigger ortho board like for example Atreus62 with the intention of removing keys and seeing what’s your preferred layout is gonna be, is the best way to go about it. It’s probably not gonna be your final board (endgame is a lie) so don’t spend a fortune on it.

Ugh. That kinda sucks. Although now that I actually took a look, it’s written in the specs. It’s 1.27mm goldpin. Less popular, but still pretty simple to get around. I think I might actually be able to convert my module from JST to 1.27mm goldpin with something like this. The difference between 1.25mm and 1.27mm across 13 pins should not be big enough to make a difference. I hope…

It’s not exactly the same module, but similar. Pretty much the same thing but without the RP2040 MCU on board. I picked it up mainly because of the M2 screw posts. Too bad it doesn’t use regular goldpin headers like the one without touch… It would make things so much simpler. I’d really like to avoid having a mess of tangled wires, but it would require me to find a connector that plugs directly downwards. Just like goldpin does, only twice as tight.
