Here lies a page on Keyboards!
In my time tinkering I have had a number of keyboards.
This pages serves as an index for the boards that I have had, and includes information about their model numbers, switches, and shallow notes.
Actually scratch that, org-mode is powerful enough for me to make each board a level 1 heading as below and have it be indexed in my org-roam.

How PDF highlights actually flow to the xochitl-baked copy: KOReader’s sdr is not ironed directly onto the PDF. The round-trip is:
- Highlight in KOReader on device → .sdr/metadata.pdf.lua.
- make remarkable-pull (or remarkable-sync/merge) reads the sdr, text-searches each highlight against the PDF via pymupdf, writes to sioyek
shared.db.
- make remarkable reads sioyek state and embed_pdf_annotations bakes the highlights into the PDF copy in xochitl.
Sioyek is a passthrough in the middle — not a second annotation surface you have to think about. The “iron-on” step at make remarkable time depends on sioyek holding the truth.
I’m just spit-balling here, but I think my library now covers all of Undergraduate level math.
Unfortunately, I am feeling the need to purchase the Remarkable Paper Pro as I don’t want to be forking out an additional $500 for 2-3 textbooks (on average) for each of my ~14 or so Graduate Math courses.
The way I see it, at the Undergraduate level you probably need textbooks on the following (in no particular order):
