Hey all, Wondering if its possible to keep keymap in keymap.json while using the tapdance and some other custom code for hold functions in keymap.c? Having the keymap.json makes it possible to use online configurator which makes changes very easy. I’ve used qmk c2json but it doesn work with all keys so just wondering if there...
This is mine (I have few changes tho) if you want some inspiration :) it’s 34 based on Canary layout.
I really love small format but I struggle with chords misfiring. But it’s a good mix of one shot (shift and symbol layer) with hold (navigation) layers. I think I couldn’t go lower without sacrificing typing speed.
I’m planning on soldering my next KB, do you guys have any tips on soldering irons, solder materials, etc, to make it go smoothly? I’ve only soldered bulky stuff so I have a soldering iron appropriate for a gorilla.
I wanted to experiment with a better pinky column, as for me using the bottom row with the pinky felt awkward and sometimes painful. Thus I created an alt version of my arkenswoop (swoop based), and named it the altenswoop because my brain thinks it is very original and funny. It will take some getting used to, and I’ll need...
Hello everyone, I recently bought a piantor keyboard and I am having trouble with qmk. I have configured two layer keys(num, nav) each of them switches to different layer and I want to be able to hold both of them to access fourth layer(CzechLayer), but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it. Here is my keymap.c file:...
I’m typing this with my new ergo keeb right now. Holy fuck it is hard. I cannot seem to be able to hack my brain, I’ve spent 2 WEEKS desperately trying to learn the first SIX MOST FUCKIN COMMON LETTERS and I’m still completely unable to use them even remotely quickly or reliably. I am completely unable to even break the...
Make an account on monkeytype and practice 1 hour a day. Look at the stats, you should improve in a week or two.
When I switched layout first time (qwerty -> Colemak dh) it took me 2-3 weeks to learn it. Recently I switched again (canary) and it took me around a week of practicing around 2h a day to go to 60wmp English 1k. Then I just started using it at work.
Now I’m switching to Piantor and it’s difficult even without switching layout.
I think you have to be patient and also keep track of your progress to motivate you.
I ordered a piantor few days ago. How was soldering? I really like the diodeless design, hopefully I will be able to build it (first time soldering). Also agree the column stagger looks nice. How does it feel?
Btw I’ve been working full time with Colemak dh for few years and it’s quite nice layout. But decided to switch recently and learned “canary” which is layout created in 2022. It’s slightly more optimized than Colemak. Maybe you can looker into it if you’re interested.
Actually it feels nice but probably not that much better than Colemak dh. So I think in your case I’ll stick with what you learn and maybe switch when you feel you want to learn something new. About the “.,/” , I just changed it, I don’t think it matters that much.
I teased Mantis v0.3 with two previous posts. I finally finished building it over the weekend and updated the QMK firmware including RGB Matrix support. I’ve been typing on it all day and it’s a joy to use. The layout and keymap are mostly the same as what I had on v0.2 before....

Looking for games with strong female leads for my daughter (even just to watch as I play). Came across this link, but they're a bit age-inappropriate. Any suggestions from the community? (gameranx.com)
Edit: Daughter is only 5 so she’s unlikely to play much but she watches me and as long as it’s not too violent, it should be fine
