TPMouse VS Kaleidoscope

And for Windows, my https://github.com/esporttoys/TPMouse was inspired by warpd itself but focuses more on the intuitive usability of direct cursor control via inertia/momentum.

You may be interested in how I did my Windows script for adding three-finger drag[0].

Basically, it is an independent subscriber to RawInput messages that only keeps track of whether or not to send three-finger drag, and posts emulated mouse messages using SendInput. I have a few other scripts that each run as independent userland processes that only monitors their own trigger and nothing else.

Tangentially, not sure if this might serve for some inspiration, but my TPMouse[1] script implemented inertia in a framerate-independent way so that it uses very little resource while having perfect simulation stability.

A previous discussion where I explained the analytic derivation for this low-resource exact-solution damped inertia can be seen in [10]

With the TPMouse script I implemented the activation shortcut as LShift+RShift+ which I felt had a nice balance between deliberateness and easy-to-reach (since you are using it with your hands on homerow).

Though because some keyboards have key rollover issues with using both Shifts, Capslock+ is also allowed as an alternative activation shortcut.

I personally use AutoIt a ton as a super fast way to quickly prototype GUIs. It's basically a really simple entrypoint for WinAPI.

Shameless plug: my script for emulating a trackball with your keyboard [0], and my tray app for quickly tweaking your cursor speed (usually for when I'm drawing something)[1]

The price for everything is 290 USD (or 265 EUR) + shipping cost. It is about 100 less than currently listed on keyboard.io (when buying with a stand kit and blank keycaps set) and the shipping cost will also be significantly lower (it is over 50 USD to Europe currently considering taxes and customs).

Cool! I think I can follow the code now. I'm working with the Kaleidoscope developers to try to make your work a plugin for their ecosystem (github issue) since it works so well (as long as that's OK with you?). I really like TPMouse, but I split my time 50/50 between Windows and Linux. For now I'm going to see if I can port the core of your code to C++. I frankly don't understand most of the supporting code, but I'm confident in my ability to do numerical computing lol.

It’s not really what most people think of as “affordable” but the Model 100 by keyboard.io is an amazing, comfortable, very flexible keyboard. And thanks to the Model 100 finally coming out you can find the previous version (the Model 01) for a lot less, although the switches on the Model 01 tend to fail fairly easily so I can only really recommend that if you’re good at soldering (the Model 100 uses much better switches which are also much easier to replace).

keyword.io works.

It's sitting on the shelf because I'm still extremely slow at typing on a new layout, but I do love the look and feel of my https://keyboard.io model 01

I love my keyboard.io. It’s ergonomic, beautiful, and programmable.

The Atreus is a 5x4 split with 4 extras in the middle. There a few examples out there, one of them is offered by keyboard.io here https://shop.keyboard.io/products/keyboardio-atreus
