Ultimate Hacking Keyboard Reviews and Details

Is Ultimate Hacking Keyboard good?

Social recommendations and mentions

• What is this keypad/mini keyboard peripheral?

  If you want the best bang for your buck I'd skip the dygma and the ergodox ez and go straight for the UHK (https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/). Source: over 2 years ago

• Guide the newbie - what you wish you'd done differently

  I could've tried a non-ortholinear split keyboard like Ultimate Hacking Keyboard instead of Moonlander (from the same manufacturer as Ergodox EZ which was already mentioned here). I suppose it would be better in some aspects (for working with multiple languages which have more characters than English with frequent switching between them). But then I definitely wouldn't have experimented with this keyboard as much... Source: over 2 years ago

• Possibly unpopular opinion: all laptops should have this

  If you're okay with a split layout, check out the UHK 60 v2 with the trackpoint module. It's the best thought out programmable keyboard I've ever used. I have it with the white box switches, the keypad module on the left, and the trackpoint module on the right; I also have the roller ball module, but strongly prefer the trackpoint one.

• GitHub – GEIGEIGEIST/KLOR: a 36-42 key column-staggered split keyboard

  What keyboard / layout do you use to get the arrow keys? I have a Ultimate Hacking Keyboard (https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/) and while the arrow keys are easily accessible, they require pressing a modifier. This is fine and dandy for simple usage, but I happen to do do a bunch of more complicated stuff: ctrl + arrow to go to start/end of line, ctrl + alt for words, all of this + shift for selection.... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• GitHub – GEIGEIGEIST/KLOR: a 36-42 key column-staggered split keyboard

  I use the UHK. [1] It offers programmable key layers, including a mouse key layer. That combined with apps like Shortcat [2] and I haven’t needed an actual mouse or trackpad in months. That said, UHK offers thumb track pad and track ball modules if you just can’t give it up.

• Was given this MS Natural Keyboard Pro on Day 1 at my job. 23 years later, I was told that new equipment will be at the new offices. Still going strong.

  That thing is crazy looking. I bought an Ultimate Hacking Keyboard (UHK) that I've had for 10ish months, and it's freaking amazing. Split keyboards are the way and having multiple layers for macros and whatnot are a game changer. Source: over 2 years ago

• The Topton L4 is finally another laptop with a trackpoint

  The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard looks like a slightly less usable keyboard vs. The Dygma, but it does have a trackpoint module (but only a two button version). I haven't tried it though. Source: over 2 years ago

• Vim-like “jump” cursor for Mac OS Window Management

  I use the UHK keyboard which has butter smooth home row keys mouse movement so I never need a mouse anyway. https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Flux Keyboard

  Https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ I don’t use it and know little about the project, I just remembered that it’s a split keyboard with an optional trackpoint attachment. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Row Stagger Split with Thumb Clusters?

  So far the only two I have found are the Dygma Raise and the Ultimate Hacking keyboard. The former has subpar placement of the thumb cluster (IMO) in order to enable connecting the two halves, and the latter only offers a thumb cluster as a module for the left-hand side of the keyboard.

• Fulcrum Keyboard is an ergo-mechanical split keyboard with 5-way thumb switches

  Depending on what you put under "ergonomic", you could take a look at the Ultimate Hacking keyboard: https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/ (split, ISO layout & mechanical switches, not wireless however). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Is Vim still worth learning?

  40+. Have been viming since 1999-2000. SublimeText + vim mode has been my weapon of choice since like 2012-2013. It works out of the box and is the most compatible with my muscle memory (tried VSCode's vim emulation, RealVim, PyCharm's vim mode — hell, it's 120 chars per line by default). Onivim2 seemed promising but it's still not there. What I really like in Vim is not Vim itself, but modal editing, mouse-free... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Finally got my UHK

  It's a plastic outer case. It's really light Wright. The mouse pad and the three extra keys are detachable and you can connect the board to make it a normal one. You can find it here https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com for more info. Source: almost 3 years ago
