  • I’m not sure if its common, but definitely sensible.

    Shoes by the bed for broken glass Helmet to protect from falling furniture Loud emergency whistle in your day bag and at another home. Respirator so you don’t breathe in volcanic glass if there’s an eruption.

    I’ve seen some people recommend a prybar like this and a battery-powered cutting tool in case you need to free yourself from inside the building. Door and window frames could shift and might get stuck, even if the building is still standing.















  • I’m most excited for the split spacebar and the customizable key layout.

    However they’ve made it really annoying to swap out the keycaps, due to the wonky sizes. MNT calls them “1u” in documentation but the cake is a lie.

    Custom MBK Glows keycaps by FKcaps

    • Circle key - 1.5U
    • Backspace - 1.5U
    • Tab - 1.5U
    • Right CTRL - 1.75u
    • Enter - 1.75u
    • Shift x2 - 1.25u
    • Hyper/Function - 1.25u
    • Super - 1.5u
    • Right ALT - 1.5u
    • Left Space - 1.5u
    • Middle Space - 2u
    • Right Space - 1.5u
    • Right Arrow - 1.5u

    I really wish they stuck to just 2-3 sizes, 1u, 1.5u, and 2u instead of all these inbetween sizes 1.25u, 1.75u. It really makes changing out the keycaps challenging, you pretty much have to get keys custom printed if you want the led backlight to shine through, or just use blank keys or lasered keys if you don’t mind the lack of backlight.

    The good news is it is all open-firmware and hardware, so you could just make your own custom keyboard and stick it in the case.
