34 Is close enough, right? Here's me hoping I'm not a day off. 😁

  • Don't you need numbers though

    Cool kb though 😎

    Edit: alright just read more about it, how intrusive is the layering in practice? Thinking about excel I use a ton of function keys for kb shortcuts and the numpad as well but I am sure you can get a standalone split numpad setup too.

    Does this setup make you faster?

    • It takes getting used to, of course, but at least for me, it quickly became second nature. So no, I don't miss having more keys, in fact, having a num pad right under my right hand (rather than having to move my hand and arm to the right) is quicker as I don't have to find the right spot twice.

      As for quicker... I type about as fast on this as I used to on a regular board, but this is more about ergonomics and comfort than about raw speed.

      For what it's worth: I'm a developer-gone-sysadmin, so I spend a decent amount thinking and/or cursing computers, typing is only part of the job. Plenty of IP addresses, though, so I get my numbers in. There's some documentation and blogging as well, so long form text.

  • Why this Rust mascot logo? 🤔

    • Because the Sweep is based on the Ferris, which was designed by someone who is a bit of a Rust but, apparently. For the Sweep, it was given a broom, of course.
