I've been working away at this little guy after reading jwz's rant on the UHK over at [1](Copy and paste that link, referrer shenanigans). The main takeaway being that for the name UHK, it sure didn't go down in Vim. So I've tried to make a comfortable keyboard that minimizes strain on the fingers that come from banging on a keyboard all day :)
The I2C bus routed to every switch is the fun part in my opinion. If you can find a device, with a bit of code you can bodge it into your keyboard!
Wow.. that review was terrible. It’s clear that that guy wanted the uhk to be something it isnt. The way he worded some parts just sounded childish.
I use vim and vim bindings everywhere and I already love the uhk so much it might be the last keyboard I ever buy. But I took more than 30 seconds to look at it closely and decide if it was for me. Came from the Kinesis split keyboard too. I thought it was too big. Had a ton of keys I didn’t use too (all the keys he misses)
Your keyboard looks pretty neat too. I’ll put it on my list of options to try if I do end up wanting something new. Although my top alternative for now is a dactyl manuform variant.
