Got this split keyboard a few weeks ago. Haven’t been able to use it well enough to reach a good enough WPM. But I am typing this post on it to keep the spirit well connected. This is a completely new and different way to access letters, and that slows one down a fair bit. (As intended.)

It is a Sofle V2 that M from the IMKB Discord built. There are blue Gaterons under the Orthilinear keycaps from Meckeys. The TRRS cable is the weakest link in this daisychain. Looking forward to getting a custom one soon. The rotary encoders work as brightness and volume knobs at the moment. 

Last week R had a muscle spasm and it was really bad. She couldn’t move at all for three days. We took an (ill-decided) ambulance to the diagnostics center and that ride was all kinds of horrible. She’s back to walking—with some pain sometimes, but walking—thanks to physio and pain meds. The whole ordeal made us appreciate the good parts of life and realise again how bad most of life is for most people. More on all this later.
