ironymaidenthat's where the tea mug goes. between the left and right halves.
tomorrow the tenting kit arrives in a second box. this is the first time in years i've typed on a flat keyboard without wrist rests. those need to get here pronto.
i was afraid that my typing was going to be too idiosyncratic and i would discover that i've been doing something with the "wrong" hand for decades. nah.
the 9 inch cable is just long enough. if i had more chest i would definitely have wanted to go wider. as it is i already feel taller.
even without the tenkey, it takes up at least as much desk real-estate from outer edge to outer edge, except that i have a mug and could probably have a small notebook in the open middle space. i dig it.
it has a bunch of macro keys that i've never bothered with on other keyboards (mostly because they didn't want to work on Mac or were too far a reach or inconsistent on Windows). beginning and end of line keys will be my friends. we'll see if i having cut/copy/paste/undo keys is worthwhile when the muscle memory is so strong.
