Speaking of events: ClackyCon is imminent (September 30th 2023) at "De Broodfabriek" in Rijswijk (Den Haag, Netherlands).

If you are a keyboard enthusiast, this might be the thing for you. Especially if you like #mechanicalkeyboard or #splitkeyboard (at least that was the case at the previous edition of the event)

I just spent two or three hours making this very basic magnet holder in FreeCAD. It's not finished yet, but it will be used to hold the two halves of my next #splitkeyboard together with magnets.
A few things are missing:
- screw holes
- a hole in the middle so that it doesn't use too much filament
Wish me luck.

I’ve lately constantly been scoring above 50wpm on my corne using colemak-dh. It’s also now my daily driver. #ErgonomicKeyboard #crkbd #SplitKeyboard #MonkeyType

So… for those that use a split and/or columnar #keyboard, how long did it take you to get good at it?
[ #MechanicalKeyboard #SplitKeyboard #Columnar ]

Cons:
- Build quality is acceptable but underwhelming for the price point.
- Bulky, relatively awkward shape of each module makes it much less portable than conventional models designed for portability.
- Keyboard has two halves which can make it awkward to use from a seated position without a desk.
- No dedicated media keys on the primary layer.

I’ve been tinkering with my keyboard firmware. I started with #miryoku and added a few layers to be able use it to play video games. I also enabled the oled screens and the leds #SplitKeyboard #corne #crkbd #qmk #ErgonomicKeyboard https://github.com/benoitlouy/qmk_firmware/blob/miryoku-merge-master-20230607/users/manna-harbour_miryoku/custom_config.h

Salvaged some Triumph Adler caps from an old Gabriele 9009 typewriter. Thanks to the uniform profile of the alphas, they actually have Aptmak compat! 🥳

I'm stilling here using a really old #Microsoft Natural Keyboard Elite right now.

I've had my eyes on a #Perixx 535 mechanical ergonomic keyboard for awhile now though. It has three different switch options though, and I don't know enough about mechanical keyboards to know which I'd want.

Had lots of fun building this new keyboard kit! Its the Totem from GEIST, available at keeb.supply with Kailh Choc Switches and MBK Keycaps. The build was really impressive for me, since i never tried much with low profile and also these xiao micro controllers were something new for me. I will sure take a while to come up with a keymap to use it properly, but it feels nice so far. Finally a shark-friendly board!

Moonlander with 3+1 Layers it is 😁 though i have functionally only 1,5 Layers for coding.

I started doing some daily colemak typing practice using https://www.keybr.com/ It’s going to take me some time before I can fully switch #colemak #splitkeyboard #crkbd

So now comes the time of getting some keycaps. I might just go for blank ones just to make think even more difficult #crkbd #splitkeyboard #ergomechkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboards

Made the jump and bought a corne. Can’t way to have to learn to type again. #mechanicalkeyboards #crkbd #splitkeyboard #ergomechkeyboards

There are many advantages to a split keyboard, but having space for a tea tray isn't spoken of often enough.

Ich nutze gern mein #split #keyboard Mistel MD770RGB im ANSI-Layout, aber konfiguriert als ISO-DE.
Einziger Nachteil: Die fehlende "<>|"-Taste neben dem LSHIFT.
Lösung: COMPOSE-Key auf die (wirklich überflüssige) RCTRL-Taste mit #vim -like keycodes:

- RCTRL + vl = "vertical line"
- RCTRL + gt = "greater than"
- RCTRL + lt = "less than"

Switches my custom 36-key splitkeyboard arrived today. Choosing the Khail Choc Sunset. If you look for low profile tactile (non-clicky) switches, ignore the Browns and go for the Sunsets.

Light, yet very pronounced tactile click. Comparable to Khail Copper. #mechkeyboard #splitkeyboard

The up and coming Framework 16 Laptop with its keyboard modules looks pretty exciting. And while I will stick to macOS for now, I really like that it opens a door to a laptop with built-in ortholinear or column-stagger keyboard.

Wonder how long it will take, until somebody builds a corne-keyboard module for it.

I went down the ortholinear split keyboard rabbit hole quite fast. As a side project, I am currently building a custom split keyboard, that fits the shape of my fingers well. Almost finished the PCB design.

Since I am typing quiet a lot, reducing strain is probably a good idea. #keyboard #splitkeyboard #ortholinear
