Useful tools

Here is a collection of some of the tools that I use (IDEs, keyboards, etc.)

This page is mostly for my own reference, but if you’re here maybe you’ll find something interesting as well.

Hardware

• Kinesis Advantage 2 LF, an ergonomic keyboard.
• Elecom Deft Pro Trackball Mouse.
  • After receiving the fancy ergonomic keyboard, I figured I would go all-in on the ergonomics and get a trackball mouse as well. No carpal tunnel yet!
• This laptop stand to complete the ergonomic setup.

Software
