    you keep saying “vote” as if it means the same thing in a ranked-choice voting system and a first-past-the-post voting system.

    newsflash: you’re not making the difference you claim you’re making. if anything, you’re making it worse. congratulations! good job! you did it! you get a good star!






  • Chords and layers, my guy. Much in the same way you type a capital letter with a combination of two keys (shift + letter), people using smaller keyboards do the same thing for any key you deem “missing”, just with more keys being pressed. There’s even functionality where each key behaves differently depending on whether you tap or hold it.

    Technically, you can have only 10 keys (one for each digit on your hands) and still get 2^10 = 1024 unique actions! Forget letters; you can have have whole words encoded in those keys, and voila ~ that’s basically stenography!

    If you don’t like it, that’s okay! I’d never be able to use one myself either, but the people who can use it do like it; and besides, it’s all good fun to see what people can do with these layouts.


  • The QAZ keys on the right is a joke. This keyboard layout is called a QAZ/35% layout, where the Q, A, and Z keys are gone. The Esc, Tab, and Shift keys on the left side default to typing Q, A, and Z respectively, with further keys hidden behind chords and layers.

    I believe OP is making this keyboard as a response to someone’s reaction to the QAZ board, right here on Lemmy.

    To answer your question, many people prefer smaller keyboards mainly because 1. they’re gamers and want more space for their mouse, and 2. smaller keyboards minimize hand movements and therefore are more ergonomic.
