Quick Questions XIII: Answers Return

I use Kinesis Advantage/Ergodox layout boards which make ctrl/cmd the same and under your thumb but I suspect this is not what you had in mind. Like I’m recommending Esperanto instead of a good Spanish dictionary.

Mathias makes Mac-style board layouts with PC modifier legends.

Just clicked spoiler text and I’m gonna recommend the Logitech K380.

Alternatively, go in to settings on your Mac and remap Cmd to Ctrl.

Sticks are ergonomically horrible and fighting games are among the least capital-A accessible even when they’re “accessible.”

The Xbox Adaptive Controller is a mass-produced Divekick pad.

weirdly I have no trouble with moving from ctrl to command in terms of muscle memory! but the inconsistent key size drives me crazy

thanks for the recommendations! but I really want something with a numpad and I specifically want the modifier buttons to not be equally sized

after some hunting it looks like this might be as close as I can get. it even has a switch to go between os’s, which is more than I need but will probably make it easier to do what I want.

Just in case the round chiclets and multi-device switching of the Logitech appeals, the K780 is the numpad version.

While I’m not sure the torching all the technical gatekeeping would actually widen the format’s appeal at this point and it’s probably a niche with a stable base of dorks that can tick over in the margins forever like prog metal, I’m still keen to see more studios make with the gasoline

I like square keys better actually but aside from that this looks pretty close

ahh but these have squashed arrow keys!

I’m hopeless :sob:

OK y’all but what if those arrow keys were in line with all of the other keys

Like on your index and ring finger, just below C and V and M and ,

I’m sorry, they don’t make a chiclet ergodox please chip in to my group buy—

you’re mad! those weird split ergonomic keyboards drive me crazy! I don’t want to retrain my muscle memory!

I currently use this for my home PC:

it’s pretty much the perfect keyboard! except! the alt key on the left is so tiny, which is a problem when that becomes command on a mac! if I could have this exact keyboard but the alt and ctrl keys are both equally wider than the win key I’d be in business!

it must exist!

okay it looks like this might be my best bet:

thanks for dealing with me being annoying and neurotic ok bye

It’s not anything crazy special, but it does what it wants to do pretty competently I think.

There was this ios “game” I played about 10 years ago where all you do is walk in one direction for like 30 seconds and each step you take visibly ages you until you die and that’s all it is. I think Kill Screen did a write-up on it once? I’ve been trying to remember the name

Hey guys, I was wondering if I should play Hollow Knight. What’s the general opinion about it? Most press reviews seem quite enthusiastic (although, if I am not mistaken, someone -perhaps rockpapershotgun? I would need to double check- didn’t love it much…). Is it really so good? And is it quite original?
