That keyboard reminds me a lot of the dygma raise. ooh. The trackpoint module is really nice addition. I think the Dygma has much better legs that do 10, 20, 30, 40 degree very solid tilt. As far as I can tell the equal in programmability. No pre-dedecated mouse buttons though.
the video got mirror flipped. I realized there's a setting i need to flip. gah, this vid is so bad. ma gonna do another one. But the logitech c920 autofocus is still a problem. Sorry about that...
That was a fantastic video Xah only thing any deals on price kinda expensive just got myself keychron k1 do you use exwm could you show us a few workflows thanks in advance and keep up the good work :)
the answer would probably be disappointing. because i cannot honesty say one is better than the other in general. Both are so good, but the two are rather quite different keyboards, primarily due to shape and size. i was using Kinesis Advantage2 for 3 years now. UHK for 50 days. When i got UHK, i thought i'll try it for a month then go back to Kinesis. But it's really good, and am still on it. I don't feel i have to switch back to Kinesis, nor that i must stick with UHK. I'd say, a easy criterion for decision is, if you want a station at home, get Kinesis. If you sometimes need to travel, get UHK. Also, Kinesis got driverless programing. But UHK's programability is more advanced and so easy to use, i didn't find any bump using it AT ALL. eg. kinesis, u can't make modifier do macro or other key, unless u first program it to be a non-modifier. The UHK, partly because it's visual, and so easy, .. anyway, i think if u want to decide: here's few points: portability. driverless programing. extremely easy gui programing and more advanced programmability. As to the keyboard hardware and shape... I think it really depends on you. For me, it'd be a coin flip. Also, for those got RSI already, i think Kinesis bowl surface and rectangular grid layout is better. (but i know people who has RSI and can't get used to Kinesis) also, hand size is a factor. If you are, say, Asian Female, then, UHK is absolutely better.
hi Xah, I guess I read in your blog that you had an ergodox but got problems with your tumbs due to smaller hands, and this is recommended for medium-smaller hands. What is the length of your hand, I mean from the base of your palm to the tip of middle finger? Also, do you have any opinion between this one and the diverge (3 or 4)
i don't have ergodox actually. It's the story of another guy. Ergodox Keyboard Thumb Keys Pain xahlee.info/kbd/ergodox_keyboard_thumb_keys_pain.html my hand size, palm base to mid finger is 19cm. but note, hand size of various fingers different significantly between people. about Diverge 3, it has 8 more keys, which i like, and also better thumb keys. But i don't have it so can't really compare.
Does this keyboard have dual functions in the letters, for example, if I tap the letter A is an a, but if I hold it can act as a modifier, for example shift, ctrl, etc. Also, does the code can be modified in case it is needed?

omg, u watching my ancient sucky video. :)
It's hard to get, new orders are expected to ship in May 2022..
At 2:05, i meant my camera is lousy. The keyboard is truly great.
the video got mirror flipped. I realized there's a setting i need to flip. gah, this vid is so bad. ma gonna do another one. But the logitech c920 autofocus is still a problem. Sorry about that...
"never buy this camera"

Complex Analysis book detected, mathbro.
Would you say this is better than the Kinesis Advantage2? I've been thinking about getting an Advantage2 but this also looks very good

Hey,
How would you compare it to "DYGMA RAISE
"
and which one would you recommend in general and especially for Writing and Programming ?

is there a standardized abbreviations or do people just make them up as they see fit?

about Diverge 3, it has 8 more keys, which i like, and also better thumb keys. But i don't have it so can't really compare.
can you demonstrate how to create and run macros?
Does this keyboard have dual functions in the letters, for example, if I tap the letter A is an a, but if I hold it can act as a modifier, for example shift, ctrl, etc. Also, does the code can be modified in case it is needed?
yes. letter keys can also act as dual function keys. The firmware is open source. They have a github site.
@@XahLee thanks so much, BTW your blog is an excellent resource!
