    • @jimmynguyen973
      @jimmynguyen973  Před 2 lety +2

      and some people told me this aint much! i for sure think its a lot. looking back now, there's really no need to buy so many keyboards so fast. i've gotten so use to having so many keyboards that getting a new one isn't that exciting to me anymore.
      selling old keyboards for a new one would be a better way to go about it. im taking this learning experience into mechanical watches. im going to stick with my first watch for now and not buy another one until i feel the need to celebrate some kind of milestone, and stick with a 3 watch collection.

      @@strictnonconformist7369 I used to use vim not anymore. It depends on the keyboard (I am a fan of 40s) on the Kyria I use thumb clusters on something like the ut47.2 I used mo tap on the tab button. Basically while holding tab it acts like a modifier and quick click as a tab. Quite common functionality on 40s keyboard like the shfent (shift/end)
