    @mechanicalkeyboards I’ve had this setup for ~6 years now. I don’t think they make the white trackball mouse anymore. The ball also lights up – I don’t think the new models do that anymore, either.

    The keyboard has Cherry MX browns in it. This is the original Ergodox EZ model, so they’re soldered in there.

    The 1990s called to tell you that your setup is glorious.

    Also, they said to say “whaaaaaat’s up”, I guess. I’m not sure what that was about.

    Joking aside - that’s a very nice setup in any decade.

    It looks great, I especially like the backlit CST. I could never acclimate to my Ergdox, so it now lives with a friend who is making good use of it. Mine was the original layered clear full hand build with MX Clears.

      @zod000 @mechanicalkeyboards Thanks! It definitely took a while to get used to. Weirdly, it almost seems like the split keyboard aspect was harder than the ortholinear aspect for me.

        It was definitely harder doing the split that the ortholinear part of it since I have used smaller ortho keyboards and been ok-ish from the start.

      Nice! How do you like the quiet cherry switches? I have some quiet Zeal switches (“Zilent”) and I really like them, but I’m curious about others, too.

        I like them a lot! I also have one with regular cherry switches at home, the silent are for work and I’ve never had complaints for noise. They’re still satisfyingly clicky
