Show me your keyboard, and I will tell you who you are (3)
Fifteen years ago, Charles-Henri, an SMC developer, decided to drop Azerty and switch to the Dvorak layout. And for good reason, too. “I decided to switch to this keyboard for several reasons: after many years working with a TypeMatrix, I wanted to stick with an orthogonal keyboard. The thing to understand is that staggering the keys is just a holdover from typewriters, which doesn’t make sense in the era of computer keyboards. But today, being able to reach multiple keys directly with the thumbs saves a lot of time. It’s a shame to limit yourself to the space bar, as with most keyboards...” As for custom options, “I can change the keyboard’s internal software so that it corresponds exactly to my needs.” Charles-Henri has never regretted his decision, but he still has to convince his colleagues, “who are lost whenever they have to use my computer!”

Julien’s BEPO keyboard, a QA SNS, is more optimised for the French language than traditional keyboards. And for a developer, certain commonly used characters and symbols, such as parentheses and curly brackets, are more easily and logically accessible than on the typical Azerty or Qwerty layouts.

Amiga vs. Atari

Gabriel, SMC Technical Leader, has a real love affair with his Vortex keyboard. Portable and easy to use, it goes wherever he does, whether in the office or at home. And the keyboard has a geeky side, which lets him personalize some of the details, including:- changing the key layout from Qwerty to Dvorak, which was designed for speed and comfort
- moving a few accent keys higher to make them easier to find with his fingers
- adding dielectric grease underneath the stabilisers of the longer keys (space, shift, etc.) for more stability
- and saving shortcuts in the keyboard’s memory, making them usable on any computer.

Locked down... but hired!
This period of uncertainty is a hard time to be joining a new company and learning the ropes while there’s no-one in the office. Hard... but not impossible! Maxime, Quentin and Manuel – three new recruits who joined Stormshield in the middle of the lockdown – talk to us about their experiences.

Solidarity above all
For the past few weeks, Stormshield employees with a 3D printer have been showing their solidarity with those closest to the virus and in need of masks. How do they do it? By manufacturing 3D protective visors. More than 500 visors have been manufactured thanks to the initiative of three employees: Dominique Allietta (Project Manager), Daniel Alexandre (Pre-Sales Engineer) and Frédéric Princelle (IT Manager). For its part, Stormshield will also supply kits containing a reel and 200 transparent sheets to these supportive employees, to enable them to continue their actions.500
