Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

Why does this look like a Chitauri weapon??

[–] tuckerm@supermeter.social 1 points 1 year ago

Very nice! Also, I don't think I've seen a build with 3D printed keycaps before. Looks great.

Looks like ancient space tech that still turns on. Feelin' a type of way with my prebuilt lol

All MJF?

I hit mine with a blow torch to melt the outside layer a bit and get it a bit glossy. Makes it a little darker but also a bit of a worn spaceship look. Love it!

Agree that ZMK is good, you using nice!nanos?

[–] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yup all MJF I love the look and feel. Yours looks great, I like how light this came out though. Yup ZMK with Nice Nano’s 3.5 has pointer support and a great community member just released a driver for the PMW3610

Does the trackball drain the battery fast?

[–] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.
