So this happened last night…

I was watching a random "Day in the life of" video from @lexfridman from 3 years ago and saw that he has the @kinesisergo Advantage2 Keyboard.
I actually wanted that a long time back but had forgotten about it.
Wondering if I should just pull the trigger… 🤔

I had been drooling over this so many years ago (like back in 2015) but just gave up because it was way over my budget for a keyboard in the first place, and the horrendous shipping and import fees would only make it even worse.

I eventually forgot about it, and fast forward 7 or 8 years, here I am, playing around on the computer while watching a Lex Fridman video from some time back, and this showed up! I went and checked it out on Amazon again, and guess what? It was available! (it still comes at a cost, as is the case with all the pretty things in life…. but at least it’s available!!)

I went back on YouTube in search of some reviews on the device but came across this other short video that pretty much sealed the deal for me.

For those of you too lazy to watch the YouTube clip, it’s from a discussion Lex had with none other than Guido van Rossum, where he explains how much he likes this keyboard.

So I did the only sensible thing one could do and went ahead and ordered it.

aaaand it's done!.. Now the most painful part 😐 pic.twitter.com/SiuHHULWPE

And now we wait, I’ll post a photo here when this arrives.

Until we meet again… keep calm and type on! =)
