that would make sense. i have had some issues too, only had to send one unit back though, which was why I think this may be better. i mostly use mine for some games and a macropad basically. i like the idea but am wondering about the long term reliability.
I would be interested to see how this compares to using a characorder, which is similar in concept but the switches are different. I feel like this would be a little easier to press.
fwiw, if any one is wondering, this or a cc would by far be the best single key entry typing experience you can get as far as comfort goes. the lack of wrist movement is incredible, your hands basically don't move all day. its much easier to stay in the zone when you don't have to worry about where your hands are, not having to reach for shortcuts, not having worry so much about keybinds or key placement because you can reach everything you need with ease.
most of these keyboards and layouts all just minimize wrist/finger movement for the most part, which this cuts down to nothing with any keyboard layout
this is a steno keyboard from nolltronics. there is a qwerty layer, but I only use it for games really.
most people do not have the interest in learning a lot of steno theory, but what I want to make/gauge normie perception on is one half of a steno keyboard and use this dictionary:
https://github.com/Abkwreu/plover-left-hand-modifiers/blob/main/README.md
this dictionary allows every shortcut (and almost every key) to be typed in two strokes and using only the left hand with a 10-key keyboard.
there is actually very little memorization needed. just some additional letters that are not shown mostly.
numbers are in binary, so you need to know how that works, but once you do, you can enter f-keys/numpad/numbar. you have arrow keys too.
for example (each pic/cluster is one press, you have a good bit of time to press): https://i.imgur.com/7UICbye.png
i don't really care about keyboard shortcuts anymore because they are all almost the same difficulty to input.
