Just what no one was asking for: a Clippy key. So by the looks of that keyboard, I can just Fn-lock that useless key back to the context menu, right?
Either it will be become an important key (“Windows/Super”) or it won’t (Context menu). Microsoft is being eye-rollingly cringey with the specific keyboard requirement, but I assume there are probably about a million more concerning things about “AI PCs” than the keyboard button.
Also, mech keyboards for the win. Nobody is forcing keyboard nerds to do shit with their keycaps. 😂
Been thinking about getting an ergonomic split board, I’d prefer wireless. Any recommendations?
My thing is more “unwieldy hand-wires that don’t really need to exist.” For you though, the simple answer is a wireless “Alice” from Keychron. They have a few variations going from about $100-$200, a little less if you can live with a wire. Beyond that, you can look for Ergodox or go smaller to Corne. You end up with a lot of DIY or even commissions in that space, though, as it’s sort of by definition going to attract people looking for something personalized.
You could be in luck, though: while none are much of a hub, the most active keeb community on Lemmy is probably the !ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world one.
Ah I was hoping for a split board. Thanks for the suggestions though I was looking at the corner and the chocify before.
another key I can map to something useful in linux!
My menu key 😭
Me, the one person who will actually miss it.
I use it mostly at work, so I won’t have a choice.
I’m not surprised. Vendors do this for branded products all of the time.
Yeah, this is stupid.
But it’s an AI branded product. Having an AI button makes sense for people that are buying a product for that trash.

No one is or will be doing that though
Or else what?
