I certainly agree with your tone/sympathize with your frustration but I will say that on several occasions I have followed the webpack breadcrumbs to figure out what the hell is going on with a vendor's misbehaving script, knowing it's going to be faster than going through support. Some of these methods would make that much harder.
My recollection was that it was an item that took the pipboy 'slot', as another layer of 'the player should never be able to loot or equip this' protection.
I was also not blown away (and surprised to see it on the list). I thought the perspectives were good i.e. how a new intelligence would interpret the world, sensory overload, etc., but I don't think it brought anything really new to the table.
If you love Gibson's prose I'm not sure what to recommend. Maybe you'd enjoy James Joyce, or Kerouac or Burroughs maybe. If you love fiction generally there are all the great novels to read.
I love it. I added some tilt but it doesn't come with any, and it can be easily flashed with QMK. I just stuck some bumpers on it for the tilt so you could easily go negative. I don't even have mine in a case, so it is very low profile.
Since it does not have a standard function key row, the esc key is not where you would expect it to be (mine is on the extra left bit with the function keys) but otherwise the keys are more or less where you would expect them to be. If you want a dedicated function row there is also this: https://keeb.io/collections/sinc/products/sinc-split-stagger...
I love the split layout and especially the split spacebar, as I made the left spacebar the macro key for my first layer. The rotary encoders are fun too.
For anyone reading this and not keen on DIYing or the quefrency generally or looking for a "normal" layout: checkout Mistel keyboards. I've seen a few on amazon. It's pretty much a normal keyboard layout cut in two.
