steno VS fusion

What I've experimented in the past (none of these lasted very long for me, but hopefully inspirations for you): - stenophone: back front - fistion: back front - clawor - musk (it feels okay pseudo typing on it in a jacket's pocket)

The one feature I’m looking forward to is having the dictionary built in. The Black Pill used here supports adding memory chip; I just need to buy one and figure out how to flash crides/steno firmware on it.

I haven't actually posted to Reddit for a while (other than comments that is), and I thought I should. I've been daily driving these 2 boards for a bit, the Fissure v3.2 and the Fusion. Both boards are fully BLE, and of course following my tradition on using the embedded steno engine.

Simple (and buggy) steno engine on my keyboard

You can actually run the code needed for steno completely in firmware. Check out https://github.com/crides/steno.

Fwiw, that’s a thing, though it’s still in progress. (This says QMK, but there’s def also ZMK work somewhere in there as well.)

I'm also very skeptical, especially about the thickness. 22 mm for both halves, that's 11 mm per half. Know what else is 11 mm? Kailh choc v1 switches, top of the stem to bottom of the contacts. Not including keycaps and a bottom case. So either they're not using chocs, or they're clipping them. Either way, what is the hot swappability for? Not like you can get a variety of choc minis or the scissor switches, or expect end users to cut up their switches. The smallest keyboard I know is this: https://github.com/crides/fusion using choc minis for a 23 mm thickness when collapsed.

Yes they do... https://github.com/crides/fusion/

Horizontal spacing reduction is not worth, as long as it corresponds to your resting position it's fine (vertical for thumb); vertical spacing reduction is worth if you have skinny fingers like me, and especially helps to reduce the overall keyboard size. Been using a 13.5mm vertically spaced board for half a year, the stretch to reach keys is definitely nicer (especially for pinky), with little difference in speed

The best travel design I've seen lately is this one but it isn't truly split. Although being split might be a slight disadvantage for a travel board since you can't comfortably use it in your lap.

Depending on how small and custom you wanna go, but I put this in my pocket basically everyday
