Hi,

I didn't know where else to ask this. I saw the post on reddit (https://old.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/s6zwpk/chunky_v2_now_with_trackpad_less_janky_and_more/) that impressed me. Aside from where the mouse buttons are placed, I think that this may be the perfect keyboard for me. Do you think that there is ever a point at which you would ever feel comfortable enough to sell working versions of your keyboards? I know I would be interested, and I doubt that I am alone.

Also, I don't know if it helps with your development. I just want to share another project with you (https://github.com/saoto28/pineapple60). I found it here https://old.reddit.com/r/TrackPoint_Builders/. I hope it helps.

That is really awesome to hear. Thank you for letting me know. I am definitely interested in buying an ergonomic keyboard with some sort of pointing device (track point/ball/pad). If you have a store, I would be very interested in seeing all of the keyboards that you have to offer. You are the first/only keyboard builder to reply to me. I don't know if you are open to ideas. Please don't consider me rude for suggesting this without solicitation. I also know nothing about building keyboards. So, also please don't think that I am crazy.

While I definitely like what I see from the Chunky V2, I don't know if my hands cover enough real estate to use the pointing devices without a lot of stretching (this could purely be just a 'me' thing). Essentially, I fear that I may be straining my hands a lot using the trackpoint and the mouse buttons with the design that I have seen (https://old.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/s6zwpk/chunky_v2_now_with_trackpad_less_janky_and_more/). I don't know if this interests you, but I found another project (https://github.com/herpiko/unk) that makes the trackpoint and buttons an entirely separate module that can be be swapped to either of the split keyboards.

I guess the big question that I am taking a long time to ask is do you think that it would be possible to configure the keyboard in a way that has the trackpoint work with the index finger (instead of the thumb like I often see), keep the trackpoint relatively close to the GHB buttons, and have the mouse buttons work with the thumb? I hope you understand that I am not trying to be annoying here. But, if you are open to commissions, I could benefit from an ergonomic keyboard.
