Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
I have an XP-Pen as well. Works great in Linux. I'm still amazed at how high quality these non-Wacom tablets are today. I had one of those cheap 6" Wacom Graphites back in the early 2000s and that was the best you could get. My XP-Pen blows that thing away. Still haven't found a great place to put it though. I'm just stashing it off to the side but it's awkward moving it around all the time.
If you're on Linux, Gromit-MPX is a great companion app to annotate anything on your desktop. https://github.com/bk138/gromit-mpx

Image viewer with annotations (etc add rectangle)
I use Gromit-MPX. With it you can toggle "painting mode" with a hotkey (e.g. F9), making your screen essentially a big whiteboard on which you can draw in various colors and thiccnessess.

Ferris Sweep with promicro rp2040 slave not working
Hi guys, still did unable to connect any of the slaves. Tried kmk but no luck as well. In the meanwhile i checked again continuity, which is working for all of the pins (in the TRRS) and also found the schematics for my board if that helps: https://github.com/davidphilipbarr/Sweep/blob/main/schematic.pdf

Why hjkl is still default settings for moving around?
Personally I use ferris sweep and I just hold left thumb button to have arrows on right hand and I use them for neovim and helix. Nevertheless you should prioritize minimalising Same Finger Usage (SFI) and comfort, they are most important for speed and to minimize mistakes. Bare minimum, I would remap j to up and k do down, but you can also remap helix function of unei to places of hjkl and think for yourself how would you like to have them placed.

Ask HN: What lesser-known accessories do you use with your computer?
I use ergonomic low-profile split keyboard Sweep[1]. My endgame (I hope so) keyboard after a long journey through the ergomechboard rabbit hole. If you're interesting in improving keyboard ergonomics with really custom solutions, r/ErgoMechBoards's Wiki [2] is a good place to start.
