Look what I received from mail today.
Skywatch keyboard, designed by @ozkan
Runs great with QMK firmware, with Vial support, and has a rp2040 microcontroller inside! It also has a trackball!

After many months of using the Preonic, I switched back to the Planck. Turns out I just don't use Function keys, even when they're sitting there as a top row. I did migrate over the keycaps, though. I'm still a fan of blank keycaps, but really like the look of the Mito SA.
I'm also still using a COLEMAK layout, with some adjustments. The gory details can be found here: https://git.skj.dev/sean/qmk_firmware/src/commit/4e86e77f52fb810e0347c59c23894c98b73db58c/keyboards/planck/keymaps/ttys0/keymap.c

AMD & Ortholinear Keyboard incoming for the Framework laptop!
Drop has a great deal on a Planck-like keyboard. 2 days left and 16 more buyers needed. 👀 #QMKkeyboard #qmkfirmware #qmk_firmware #qmk #planck #olkb #ortholinear #ortholinearkeyboard https://drop.com/buy/cstc40-40-mechanical-keyboard-kit?defaultSelectionIds=974236

I have been using my 42-key staggered split keyboard for a few months now, only switching to a traditional keyboard for some games. I'm pretty happy with it, happy with the 15° tilt, and mostly with the layout.
One problem I am finding is that the two halves of the keyboard tend to wander a bit on the desk. I may put them at an angle I like, and then find them to drift over time (mostly rotating). Any ideas on a good way to keep them more solid? #mechanicalkeyboard #olkb
Let me share my latest #wireless #mechanicalkeyboard #ortholinear #olkb #diy #project here. I never uploaded to my very instance😊
The PCB was untested, the case was untested, the module was untested, but now all working nicely!
It's not #Planck, but Plonck, a case compatible wireless prototype I found on #GitHub
#Firmware was buggy, but it was a nice starting point, so I also fixed it.
It's powered by a compatible cheap lipo phone battery. Apparently a single charge can hold for 1.2 years😆

I've noticed a strange effect while migrating to increasingly small and ergonomic keyboards (Full-size -> 12×5 -> 12x4 -> 12x3 + 6); the more time spent in the home row region, the more I feel disrupted by annoying stretches/moves. I used to hate ctrl and backspace, then avoided stretching for numbers, now shift is gone and I'm looking suspiciously at the letter P... There must have been a lot of floating before even while "touch typing".
#MechanicalKeyboard #olkb aficionados, I'm looking for a 34/36 key #MonoBlock / #UniBody angled keyboard for comfortable typing when not sitting at a desk.
Really like my #crkbd 36 key, but feeling that two split halves make it hard when working from a couch every now and then.
The Tipper-TF looks interesting with its e-ink screen https://github.com/weteor/Tipper-TF
also the Reviung 34 https://reviung.com/build-guide/724/
or the chocV if the battery can be hidden somewhere https://github.com/brickbots/chocV

I've been tinkering with building a tool to generate (dare I say beautiful) keymaps as SVGs for people like me who might have gone down the #MechanicalKeyboard / #olkb with #qmk rabbit hole a bit too much and would like to have a way to visualise their layouts.
Needless to say, what I have so far isn't beautiful _just_ yet.
It can already generate a starting point from QMK's keyboard `info.json` and just needs keymap layers to be added.
Trying to gauge if there's interest, boosts appreciated.

So... looks like I need to build another Dactyl Manuform for work, don't want to use a "normal" keyboard anymore.
Whom to follow to learn more about #mechanicalkeyboards #qmk #olkb #zsa.io and which hashtags are the best? I am rocking a Moonlander and Planck from ZSA.io their webinterface on top of QMK is the best thing, will not buy any custom/fancy keyboard except from them.
