Ask HN: Ergo wireless keyboard with mouse for coding?

5 pointsby MarcelOlsz5 เดือนที่ผ่านมา6 comments

I'm at 160wpm with my apple keyboard [0]. It's easily my favourite keyboard of all time but I'd love an ergo keyboard with chiclet keys and a built in mouse. I was looking at the cybord imprint [1] and the kinese advantage 360 [2] but the kinesis despite its infinite good reviews doesn't have a mouse and is too expensive for me although it is wireless, same with the imprint. My goal is to ziptie it to my herman miller aeron armrests so I don't have to ever move my arms, and I can swing around to look at my other monitors without craning my neck. Any out of the box solutions I can order that don't need soldering and assembly? There seem to be few.

Maybe the new Glove Go60 can be considered here: https://www.moergo.com/collections/go60-keyboards/products/g...

I have a Glove 80 and I'm really happy with it.

Glove 80 looks great which I may as well get since it's $100 more. Although the glove60 has the mouse. Ah I wish there was a hybrid of the two!

I prefer a more extreme ergo layout, but this was recently added to my collection. It may tick your boxes: https://pandakb.com/shop/keyboard-kit/gboffsetkey-70-mx-spli...

Wow I really like that one along with the price too. That definitely ticks my boxes lol. I don't love the 4 keys in the bottom left (I'm on mac) and the large keys though but the layout is great,

i have the previous version of the kinesis keyboard and have a Magic Mouse trackpad secured with Velcro in the middle area of the keyboard. It fits perfectly and lets me keep my hands on the keyboard.

I like that idea a lot, I have a trackpad laying around somewhere.
