Why I wouldn’t recommend the pre-built version of the GMMK Pro keyboard

The keyboard to go crazy

This article was not written with the keyboard shown above, but it is still short.
You don't always have to be efficient. That only leads to overproduction and, in the case of keyboards, to annoying chattiness. I like to think back to the days when writing - by hand - was still so laborious that people were pleasantly brief. A positive side effect: the written word is better memorised when complex movements have to be performed.
The innovative keyboards that GBoard Japan has already developed in previous years have the same spirit. For example, the extremely versatile single-line keyboard or this strange ... thing.
The dial pad keyboard cannot be purchased, but can be printed out as a 3D model.
