Thank you so much for the review! For the problem with shortcuts, the way to go is layers, as you mention. For example, a layer where UI, JK and M, are () [] {} is really useful. You just "shift" to that layer temporarily. It's like pressing "shift" or "alt" but configurable 😅
Thanks for the tips!
I’m using Mistel Barocco for two years and I like it because it’s a split with a traditional layout - I don’t have energy to learn a completely different layout, and I still use other (more normal keyboards) from time to time, so it would mean switching between different layouts.
Switching back to the regular keyboard is not hard, but yeah, the new layout took a bit of time to learn.
very nice video . i wonder if this keyboard will be your mind driver daily or you are going to switch back to normal mechanical keyboards ?
Shortcuts and some key positions feels tricky for programming. So, I don't know for sure. That's a bit like a love / hate relationship when I'm programming.
@@AivarsMeijers got your point . thanks for the reply
The price of this keyboard is completely out of this world! I had the opportunity to try it out for a short time at my friend's place. He had it for about a month and stopped using it because of the horrible layout. Switching between programmed key layouts is also out. When programming, you need to focus on code and not thinking about on which layout you have some key or shortcut. If you learn to type well on this keyboard and then you're forced to start working in a different environment, you'll have a hard time learning to type again. I will rather use ergonomic mechanical keyboard with clasical layout for half price.
I see your point and you are not wrong, but part of the users choosing ergonomic keyboards to fix the pain they have typing on regular keyboards. Agree about unnecessary complication to access symbols and arrow keys
it kinda looks like the keyboard is giving you the middle finger
Oh, it's definitely doing when I'm trying to figure out how to hit shortcuts on it 😅 Sorts out I don't know them, my fingers know where they were on a regular keyboard.
damn I didnt know it has such angle, I need it to prevent RSI !
Hi Aivars I have a question for you, I started to earn $20 per month as an indie developer, it's a small step, do you advertise at first for this app to grow that I'm curious about? I don't want to throw the money away because I have a very limited budget, what can you recommend is it to make 1000$ MMR organically (without advertising) to grow the new app?
I doubt ads will help a lot, especially if the budget is small. I would try content marketing and ASO
Hi Aivars, are you a full-time ios freelancer? is it realistic to live/work in this format?
yes, there are plenty of freelancers/consultants in the world
shouldve tried the glove80
Yeh, that looks good as well
Nice work
"for disclaimer, and for my wife" hahahahahahahaha. awesome
Just in case she watching :D
@@AivarsMeijers hahahaha
Only indirect cursor keys seem like an odd concept.
Yeah, that's not handy at all. I'm using them a lot to jump to the end of the work or string, page up, etc. This and shortcuts making me to go back to the regular keyboard.
Stopped watching on a "price" )) My wife will tell me that I already have a kettlebelt
😂 your wife is right, you can stick with kettlebel Unlikelly I would buy this or any other split keyboards after my expierience with illy 58, but this one feels much better. Anyways, writing this on MB keyboard, which still is most used from my keyboards.
