Since this picture was taken, I’ve changed out the switches and key caps a couple of times, but at the time I was using kailh choc red pro switches, and the key caps were NuPhy (mainly because I really wanted legends, and that wasn’t common at the time).
Nice build, like the caps
Looks really nice! What are those arm (?) rests?
Allsop wrist rests - they work alright, but are a little fiddly.
Nuphy makes Choc keycaps? Or is it MX?
Yes, they sell choc keycaps. They are delicate in my opinion: I broke several of them. I wouldn’t say that I was super careful, but I haven’t broken any MBKs.
I was sitting here trying to think which version of the N52 had the mode lights on the side there and I realize it’s the Tartarus you have and not an N52.
I did have an N52 and the Logitech offering in the past!
I have two N52te’s that I’ve had for years and I’m just sitting here biding my time until they die since Razer seemingly doesn’t want to make the Tartarus cheaper.
Is it possible to be too ergonomic? Does this sacrifice flexibility?
I can’t think of anything that I’m sacrificing that I wouldn’t consider worth it. Did you have something in mind?
Unless I’m losing something extreme, to me, ergonomics is king. My job is basically 90% emails and meeting notes, and I have one set of joints/tendons to last me the rest of my days, so its important to me that I take care of them.
