Building customizable ergonomic keyboards (Interview)

No, I just prefer it over a mouse. I just like to write my, I've never had any wrist pain anymore. So I just keep this thing in my hand, like I'm writing and I mouse with my pen and it's just natural the way it fits into my hand. I don't have to like, you know, people get into this mode. I'm making a claw.

Right. The claw is what really gets people. And so I can always like, you said keep motion earlier in the show. You said keep moving around. This method allows me to move around. My trackpad is independent. My keyboard is independent. And the Intuos Pro is like my mouse and it's independent. Yeah. So I can move around a lot.

Yeah, I can't go back. So my trackpad's on the left, so my left hand is what I scroll and move and things like that with. And obviously I'm clicking and moving windows and stuff like that with my right hand with the Wacom. and then the keyboard's in the middle. So when I'm dedicated to typing or doing whatever, it's just right there in the middle.

So as an example, I'm just scrolling this website called ZSA.io slash Voyager. I'm scrolling it and mousing around so I can touch things and click things and buttons. So my left hand is scrolling up and down the page to scan and zoom and look and whatnot.

And I can easily click on try Oryx or whatever else you've got going on because my hand on the right side is this mouse and it's just able to move along while scrolling with my left hand.

And honestly, Wacom has no competition as a mouse. So I use this as a mouse, and I have been for 15 years. I mean, just so long, I've just never... I think I've had to buy, and to your credit, maybe on the sustainability side, I've had to buy several over the years. And I think it's mainly been because they eventually wear out. The pen wears out. I can't get replacement parts for it.

Some of them switch out, but like I might lose it. I don't know. Just things happen. I think I may have bought three potentially over my whole entire usability career of doing it like this. I think that's a lot because it's about $300 each, roughly, $200. So that's quite an investment, but it's nice.

I would encourage you to consider my way and maybe make a Wacom Killer because you can make it better that's more sustainable. To their credit, they do a great job with the surfaces being able to be replaced. So over time, the surface, because I'm always rubbing my hand, my full hand on the surface.

Yeah, like my hand gets grease, you see a pattern there, all this stuff. You can peel that off and replace it. And I've done that several times too.
