Some #MechanicalKeyboard fans are celebrating the 40th day of year with #40sDay and photos of their keyboards that are 40% or less the size of a full size keeb.
Here’s my Unicorne by Boardsource and a custom cable by MechCables. Each half of the keyboard includes a joystick.
Finally finished the soldering and everything seems to work! Just couldn't test the stereo piezo buzzers yet, will need to write the QMK firmware first... In the meantime, here are the source and production files: https://github.com/kilipan/teenspirit
Keyboard arrived. Very impressed with the build on first inspection and glad I decided to stray from trusty black. The wood palm rests are super comfortable. There is going to be a bit of a learning curve and muscle memory shift from my HHKB Pro and I can see I will probably need to do some remapping for #emacs use. Thanks @ttscoff and @curtismchale for information on this before I ordered. #keyboard#ergomechkeyboards
It took a bit but I settled on my bindings; with a focus on being as close to a laptop keyboard as possible.
Which meant that the rightmost bottom row key on the left panel doubles as SPC (on tap) and CMD (on hold). That was the missing piece in my progress. Left of that key was ALT/OPTION and left of that was CTRL.
@takeonrules I still don’t have mine dialed in. I’m misted acclimated to it so I’ll start making adjustments soon. Only thing I’ve done is swap keys to have ctrl on home row.
@fabrik42 the idea is basically this, moving V and ' to additional combos (maybe index+ring).
blue background indicates a combonof the two adjacent keys.
bottom text indicates the hold-function of the key (and top the normal tap-function).
The chair’s cover has a zipper underneath, and it just occurred to me I could stick magnets in the arms, under the fabric, so my keyboard can attach to the chair. 🎉
@ctietze The round things are stickers! I put them on to help me know which row I’m touching. I haven’t made any modifications to the Voyager yet, but for the Moonlander I added foam to the case and the PCB to improve the sound profile. The Voyager has unmodded Choc reds for now, and the Moonlander has 63.5g Helios, lubed and filmed.
Got myself some of Pseudoku's Liminal Chimera caps (printed in gray MJF by JLCPCB) and now I can finally use my KS-33 zilpzalp without the caps interfering with either the switches or the plate...
@mangoiv nope, they are ks-33 switches, lower profile with a kinda MX-compatible stem.
The caps are Pseudoku's Liminal Chimera, which is basically DES without the skirts.
