Am I still welcome here? Ever since my finger joints started giving out during my translation work I have started to improve my workplace. I have a self built mouseboard to do all clicking with my toes, and plan to improve that thing soon. Future plans include building more plushy button boards as I feel the hard surfaces aren’t really helping. Would I find people with similar interests in this community?

    First ever pics inserted into Lemmy, hope that works. Behold, the redneck mouseboard. Has a height adapter to work from sofa or desk, because the only ergo that really works well for me is changing my position often. The keys on my board are made to be super light, because the only version I found at the time had really heavy keys and it was awful. I slaughtered a cheap mouse and 3D-printed the thingies that hold the mouse-buttons and scroll wheel in place. Scroll wheel has stopped working unfortunately (tiny plastic wheel shaft broke). But the keys work great. I have assigned the middle one to do certain things in my translation workflow, but would like more keys. Which in my current very limited understanding means “add more mice”. But there might be more elegant ways, maybe you good people could help.
