Anyone else have one? I’ve been loving it so far! Feels great!
Is there a mechanical keyboard sub that posts more normal keyboards? Is there really such a large group here that doesn’t use mice?
This is the biggest keyboard community in the Fediverse right now (but still very small). You can influence it a lot by just posting what you want to see. Boards you have, questions you have, GBs or whatever.
Sure, but I’m a lurker. That’s why I asked if there was a community that has “regular keyboard” posts that have decent discussion instead? Not here to change the sub, it just seems the most appropriate place to find a relevant community.
The idea of what content is “normal” at this point is the wrong way to look at it. The content feed is so slow across all but the most active communities on the most active instances, that treating them as though they’ve already carved out their niches is just incorrect.
This can be that, there’s no reason it can’t - it’s just the tiny number of posts you’re seeing don’t have the same representation you might be used to seeing on e.g. /r/mechanicalkeyboards.
If you’re just going to lurk and have no interest in posting you might as well just go to instagram and search for keyboard related tags. The content you post doesn’t even need to be your own boards, it could just be stuff you like.
I have one of these split keyboards and still use a mouse. I’d like to use it less, but haven’t found any great alternatives to fully remove it. 
It seems like it would be really awkward to use one-handed. I know for gaming you wouldn’t exactly need the right-hand side, but still.
I don’t get it, you keep your hand on the mouse to reach the right side of the keyboard with your left hand(assuming you’re right handed)? THAT would be awkward imo
What are you doing with your keyboard one-handed? I can’t think of any real use for one hand on a keyboard aside from gaming and shortcuts like copy+paste. And this keyboard runs QMK so it’s very easy to just remap any shortcuts that the split might make difficult.
It seems not, and I’ve been thinking that if this doesn’t change soon I’ll have to start that community myself. The problem is that during the “building it and waiting for them to come” stage I’d need to contribute to the community to encourage others to do the same, and my only contributions would be stuff like “I really wanted to try the MKC75 and I kept putting it in my cart and I did buy the keycaps that I thought would look really nice with the e-pink but then the board itself sold out and I feel like an idiot”. Would you guys be into that or…?
Instead of creating a new community why not posting “normal” keyboard here?
People are posting those keyboard because they are using it, maybe it means that there’s not much people here that don’t, if you can’t find any post, and I doubt that you would find people by splitting the community
That’s a good point. I was thinking the prevailing content here shows that my interests aren’t aligned with those of most members, and it would be inappropriate to post other stuff. Which was a really stupid way to think now that you point it out. Communities are splintered enough in the fediverse. No need to carve out more niches.
