Which steno keyboard should you buy? | Plover Hardware Guide

Описание: If you're not sure what keyboard to buy, this video should is for you!

All the hobbyist steno keyboards available for purchase use one of three switches: Matias Quiets, Kailh Chocs, and Gateron Clears. I've used steno keyboards with all of these switches and I can conclusively say that they're all perfectly adequate for steno.

You can also find MBK keycaps fairly easily just by searching them.

You can also just search for "phone tripod mount" if you are looking for one like I have.

Julia's spreadsheet comparing hobbyist steno machines: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...

The spreadsheet predates the Multisteno, but it shares many design features as the Ecosteno. The Multisteno is basically just the Ecosteno but with more keys.
