With the case and some rubber feet to keep it from sliding over the surface,
|
||||||
|
it becomes a very serviceable little travel keyboard,
|
||||||
|
one I can throw in my laptop bag and use in place of the built-in keyboard.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Caveats
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Of course, nothing is perfect. The microcontrollers are still exposed,
|
||||||
|
meaning they are vulnerable to static shock.
|
||||||
|
The headphone jack connecting the two halves is a design flaw,
|
||||||
|
as plugging it in or unplugging it while the keyboard is connected to usb has a chance of shorting out the microcontrollers,
|
||||||
|
due to the design of the TRRS plugs.
|
||||||
|
(unfortunately, they are one of the smaller form factor 4 wire connectors out there,
|
||||||
|
and have firmly entrenched themselves in the keyboard building community.)
|
||||||
|
Thankfully, both of these issues have a relatively minor chance of happening,
|
||||||
|
and if they do, I did socket the microcontrollers for easy replacement.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Conclusion
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It took me all of a week to fall in love with the sweeps form factor,
|
||||||
|
and, 1 month later, Im convinced I will never let myself work on a regular keyboard for a long period of time again,
|
||||||
|
thats how much Ive come to appreciate split keyboards.
|
||||||
|
The fact that the board has no pesky diodes or other surface mount parts means its very accessible

Ive been trying out a bunch of new shell utilites lately,
|
||||||
|
switching up my shell, terminal multiplexer, and even experimenting with my editor.
|
||||||
|
Today, Id like to focus on my experiments with my shell.

== My old setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Before this, I had been using a minimal zsh setup for a long time,
|
||||||
|
with only built in features and a handmade prompt.
