Hacker News: Prototype ergonomic mechanical keyboards

“Front-page Hacker News discussion of Jesse Vincent's prototype ergonomic keyboards (227 points, 142 comments) — with Jesse himself fielding questions on PCB sourcing, columnar splay, thumb-key placement, and the manufacturability tradeoffs that pushed the design from split toward unified hardware. ”

Front-page HN discussion of Jesse Vincent's "better and better keyboards" blog post (227 points, 142 comments). Jesse (obrajesse) commented extensively, walking through prototype iterations from ErgoDox forward, Seeed PCB economics, columnar splay matching finger anatomy, and his reasoning for moving from a split design toward a unified board for manufacturability — the public design conversation that became the Keyboardio Model 01.
