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.
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.
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.
