This looks so inconvenient. Glad you like it, but this is 'awful taste, great execution" for me.
I’ll make it even worse for you… It’s setup for Dvorak.
Well that’s just sensible unlike the rest
Possibly the only good thing about this lol
Kinda shit you’d see an alien using in a sci-fi movie lol
Absolutely. Now you only need the keycaps to be half transparent and light up individual keys randomly and you’ve got that “visual techno-babble” perfected.
Would totally make sense in a movie since they just hammer random keys and say random things lol
I love it, exactly what I want to build
Wow, when I first opened the image it was squished to 50% width, each key looked like a piano key. That was a real wtf moment.
Beautiful looking keyboard
Has a 3d printed feel from the photo. Did you make the whole thing, case, pcb, keycaps?
No, the keyboard is a kit you can get on Amazon, or Mass Drop. The keycaps were novelty caps from Pimp My Keyboard.
Hot swappable? I’m wondering if the sockets are what make the keys sit slightly off square and even, couldn’t be the key caps could it?
Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.
Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I’d chime in. I’m not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.
Well, I keep my keyboard laid pretty flat and typing on flat keys makes my fingers slip slightly which in turn causes me to hold my hands unnaturally.
I don’t know how to answer you exactly. My hands don’t hurt. Maybe it’s because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.
Looks nice! I daily drove something like this for a couple of years, then transitioned to a split ortholinear layout, so a bit different but pretty much the same thing.
I want to move on to a split ortholinear too
Yeah, having the split is super nice, personally I use a BFO-9000 PCB with 3D printed keycaps and case.
