I've befriended a murder of crows who hang out in the park in front of my flat.

They play with my dog, I can feed some of them from my hand and they follow me around in the neighborhood.

Was really easy, I just kept throwing them shelled peanuts and slowly they got used to me. Cool birds.

Yes, I find it strange that people have this preference.

If you are deep enough into the rabbit hole of ordering a mechanical ergonomically keyboard you are doing yourself a disservice by not ordering an actual ergonomic one. Especially given that the price is virtually the same and r/ErgoMechKeyboards/geekhack(which you will inevitably know exist if you are at this stage) is full of Glove80/Advantage vs Moonlander threads which all say the same thing.

I find it strange that people who start caring about ergonomics settle for Ergodox, Moonlander and other halfway there solutions when Kinesis, Glove80, Maltron who have put in real ergonomic research exist..
Ive done quite extensive testing with Dirac(with a MiniDSP Flex), rePhase, normal PEQs, BruteFIR, CamillaDSP etc. etc.

Dirac is the most user friendly of the bunch, but honestly once you limit the correction to below Schroeder frequency I cannot tell them apart. So for my systems I just stick to a few PEQs targeting the main peaks under 300hz.

Kind of tedious trying to have a discussion with someone who clearly generates their part.
Please stop.
