  • According to a blog post my Keeb.io:

    Floating is probably the one to retire. Forearm support is your wrist’s best friend. Wrist support is your shoulder’s best friend.

    The post is citing a small study of only 13 participants, but I think it’s way more of value than any personal opinion from some random dude on the Internet (which includes me as well).

    With that said. I’m a wrist rest person my self. I’ve been spending a lot of time at the computer, probably too much time at times. And I have used wrist rest exclusively for more than a decade with various mechanical keyboards.

    I’m the person who uses a highly keyboard driven environment that mostly consist of text-based software. I don’t use the mouse a lot, so I always rest my hands on the keyboard with the fingers on the home row (asdfjkl;).

    This works for me, but you should listen to your body and what it’s telling you. According to the article it doesn’t seem to exist some one good thing that works for everyone. Which is probably true for most things.

    However. Stay away from those tilted keyboards. They’re rather popular because aesthetics. Which is stupid. Your keyboard should preferable have a negative tilt, or at least have no tilt at all.






  • While they’re technically the same type of software, it’s still sort of like comparing apples to oranges.

    VLC is your kitchen skink media players that comes bundled with basically everything possible.

    mpv is more of a minimalist media player that let’s the user add the features themselves using add-ons.

    Me personally prefer mpv since it’s minimal in every regard. I have turned of the OSC, and I use the keyboard for everything. I don’t use a lot of extras, but the ones I have, is add-ons I couldn’t probably live without, like yt-dlp and SponsorBlock (for YouTube).

    I even use mpv as my music player with playlist that I manage using Neovim and the tool echo (to add new tracks to my playlists).
