My keyboard was made to be used this way! https://www.zsa.io/voyager/

I have a trackpad on my lap desk, though, and for that I used Velcro, because yep.

Having had a full numpad on one of my layers for the last few years, I hate having to stretch my fingers all weird to hit 6, for instance, when using my laptop's keyboards with a number row.

They're the NReal Air.

Yep, those ones!

Yep! And for mouse control I mostly use the keyboard itself, or a trackpad on a lap desk. https://www.lauralangdon.io/blog/

Just the Voyager by itself is 419g.

I opened this bracing for a condescending tech bro, and that couldn't be further from what the interview was actually like! As a Developer Advocate and documentarian, I especially appreciated this bit:

Finally, because I’m creating keyboards that are going to be built by multiple people with different backgrounds in DIY, I need to make sure the process goes smoothly. This means that during the design process, the 3d and electronic parts have to be made in a way where it’s expected there will be mistakes. It can and will happen that the screw inserts are not installed properly, the components are installed in reverse, there are shorts and cut traces and burnt plastic. People will make mistakes, and I need to work on making those mistakes less likely to happen, but also make sure that the keyboard is easy to fix.

This is so important, yet so infrequently prioritized. 👏

OMG, how embarrassing. Didn't read closely enough!

Edit: mea culpa, didn't read closely enough

I mean, even Neil Gaiman is far more active on Bluesky than he is on Mastodon, even though probably a greater proportion of his fans are on Mastodon, and he was on Mastodon well before Bluesky. So he's getting something from Bluesky that he isn't getting from Mastodon, and that's noteworthy.
