Tried an ergo board once, it’s all I want to use now, please help me.. I then bought a standing desk and I can’t stop telling people I use them!

[@ShoobsTube]

if you love the layout, you REALLY love the layout

[@armeli]

Shhh... don't worry. It's okay. People need to know how inferior their ergonomics are. I too use an ergo keyboard, a split one, and a trackball. The layout is a modified colemak for max ergorgasms, min bigram frequency and perfect hand alteration balance. Everyone is so fascinated and interested in my setup when I start to talk about it. :----D

What a coincidence, I just bought a Vulcan Maja today. Thanks for the great video.

[@ShoobsTube]

nice! hope you like it, the Maja is a great board.

[@nightrunnerks]

I have a Mistel split and I absolutely adore it. I use it split when gaming so I put my mic in between the two halves. It's very hard for me to go back to the regular layout. You don't feel the difference until you try an ergo board.

[@jimbo_mode]

I have yet to find a split alice that ticks all my boxes. I would honestly cough up a crazy amount for the the perfect GB whenever it comes around. I'd love to have a split alice that tents and has arrow keys while retaining modifiers that aren't 1u wide. But thats very specific and I doubt I'll find one soon haha

[@lasercrafter4408]

Shoobs on a roll and im all here for it

[@frxnzyexe]

shoobs sounds like he always speaks in lowercase, which makes these videos really nice to play in the background while working on whatever. i should learn to speak like that.

[@b_6]

another perfect video te amo shoobs

[@kekn9362]

When you dont even need the arrow keys, but you still get the "Arisu" coz ur weeb

[@furbybuddy]

If you have really broad shoulders, apparently this sort of layout can help immensely. Dad has been using a basic Microsoft one for years (only upgraded from an old one with a PS/2 cable to an usb one last year) cause otherwise his back gets thrown out

[@xDisengage]

if you don't mind the look, stacked acrylic arisu's go for pretty cheap. I picked up a hotswap one for $150. Though now that I love it, I have the pain of trying to find a higher end board with the same/similar layout

[@ShoobsTube]

this is a good way to try the layout!

[@cable5218]

[@xDisengage]

@@cable5218 I got mine from u/nicodelacruz on mechmarket, since they did a drop of like 40 boards. I think they're planning on doing another drop since it sold out so fast last time.

[@cable5218]

@@xDisengage thanks for the info!

[@muCephei_]

Your physical body size matters too. If you have wide shoulders and bigger built, I think the Arisu style will help tremendously and you're arms are not at 45 degree angle to the keyboard, causing major strain to your shoulders and wrist.

[@andydabin]

Does anyone know what the background music starting at 0:28 is?

[@jaberalsabah271]

Best custom keyboard KZbinr EVER.

[@PLILLY514]

Noti gang! Love your vids shoobs! 🦄🤩

[@ShoobsTube]

thank you!

[@rawrens]

As someone who speaks Japanese, here's some small FIY! - "Arisu" is pronounced almost like "Alice" except in 3 syllables and with a r sound in it (instead of 2 syllables and with l). Pronounced "ah-ri-su." Although the r in the word is more like a mix between r and l because Japanese have difficulty saying l's lol.

[@Sushu]

Yeah, it’s just Alice pronounced in Japanese. Had some of my American friends try to convince me otherwise... 😂

[@deezy9330]

Shoob, you make me happy :)

[@ShoobsTube]

:)

[@imranaziz8381]

I will add on that, I have a keychron V10 which is an Alice layout and I have some custom xda keycaps profile because I actually don't use qwerty layout but a Dvorak layout and personally I feel a whole lot of comfort using that layout with Dvorak.

Personally standard keyboards make me feel like I’m bending my wrists too much and lead to strain a bit. I type slower on Alice layouts but they strain my wrists less from just a bit of experience!

Hi nice video! I have a question tho. How do you play music games with customs? Because I play music game too but most of customs using qmk have lag between pressing down the key and the computer gets it so I get bad results.

Tbh this layout reminds me of those old Microsoft ergo keyboards that are all wavy.

If people actually wanted these things to be ergonomic, they'd be ortholinear with a columnar stagger.
