X-Bows Keyboard first impression (day 2)

Mon, 11 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0900

I’ve got the X-Bows Mechanical Ergonomic Keyboard, and I’m still using and confusing about it now. Almost keys are good for me, but I’m struggle with some keys such as -, =, ), [], space, backslash, enter, backspace and B, Z, etc keys are really annoying for me right now.

I’m using Emacs and Ctrl+B key a lot, but I often push the Enter key… :(

Anyway, I need to practice to get used to it more.

Happy Hacking!

X-Bows Keyboard first impression

Fri, 08 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0900

I just got the X-Bows Mechanical Ergonomic Keyboard, yeah, the shape is a bit weird and it’s a bit annoying to get use to, actually..

However, it realized me that my hands position was really bad. And, I think/believe doing new things are really good for my brain.

And also, this keyboard is silent compare to normal mechanical keyboards. Touch feeling is also good to me, not so heavy, not so light. I feel this is really good for my health.

But not sure, someone might say “your key typing is very noisy” someday. If I get like that thing, I need to re-think my keyboard strategy.

Restore Gemini PDA Firmware

Problem

I had updated my Gemini PDA firmware which was showed in the setting. However, after the updating, my gemini never booted with the planets rotating screen.

How to solve it

First, I sent an email it to the support. They replied me very quickly and said “We are aware of the issue. We are investigating the issue with our firmware over the air (FOTA) ….”

However, I don’t want to wait for that :-p. And my friend who has also a gemini pda told me Gemini Firmware and Flashing Guide pages.

To do this, I had to install libaudio2 rpm package manually to use flash_tool.sh .
