You could always buy it “barebones” which I think just means not caps and switches (I may be wrong) and if you get a kit, you can still you your own caps and switches if they are compatible

so, I have a disability that hinders the use of my right hand somewhat and I was thinking about getting a split keyboard so I could have a little more flexibility and be able to accommodate the position my hand needs to be in to hit keys easier while gaming. I would welcome any suggestions! thank you in advance!

I do like some of the Logitech boards. If you're really wanting mechanical their MX keys mechanical feels great for the price. And they're really reliable. You're paying a small Prius for the name but you can't go wrong.
There are other comparable options but the choices can be dizzying.
The g915vis also me handicap but base price is way over priced. But I used mine for 2 years. And I use it for work
chrome raft
honestly it's way too pricy for what they're selling though. In terms of nice to have features, I get it, but a lot of what they are selling is just way too close to better options for the price they're aiming for
nuphy keyboards feel affordable compared to logitech keyboards honestly
north void
that's around what you should be looking at spending for a decent board nowadays
ahh nice
thank you
chrome raft
here's one I'm possibly looking at building
I'm not entirely sure if I'm actually gonna go through with it though, it seems funner to just design a pcb at the rate I'm going
chrome raft
it just gets expensive with all the options I want
plus those pcbs have been sold out for months now
plus they're not even selling the pink anodized case I wanted anymore
cunning anvil
i wanna build something with the xiao
chrome raft
the theme orrrrrr
north void
plus those pcbs have been sold out for months now

nuphy keyboards feel affordable compared to logitech keyboards honestly
Totally agree. But many just want a good board without fuss
Logitech is good for that but yes I'd agree that nuphy can probably be a better option for many
cunning anvil
I'm not entirely sure if I'm actually gonna go through with it though, it seems ...
designing a pcb is fun
cunning anvil
plus they're not even selling the pink anodized case I wanted anymore
i have that case :o rose gold
cunning anvil
i put the wireless one in there
chrome raft
but also not really, genuinely, how much do you want
cunning anvil
i really have no idea
chrome raft
fuck
cunning anvil
i like the way it pairs rn
chrome raft
ughhhh ok ok
cunning anvil
if i had any issues with connectivity idve considered it, but it works
chrome raft
it wouldn't even be the keyboard itself though, I just wanna make a pcb that fits in there
just that damn case
cunning anvil
ooh that could be fun
chrome raft
ye ye, honestly you just match up the standoff locations and go ham
chrome raft
I probably couldn't comfortably reach the side keys, but then that's why when designing the keys, you just make the side ones the size of the longer ones
fuck i'm forgetting the actual unit
gimme a sec
found it
you just make the edge keys a 1.5 u and it is now way more usable with the same size
especially cause you just don't have to worry about overstretching the pinky, so in the end you'd end up typing more confidently y'know?
chrome raft
oh dang, that looks interesting for sure
sand pagoda
But why the key order?
chrome raft

cunning anvil
colemak-dh mod
chrome raft
ye ye
mine would look slightly different, since dvorak
but also, I can just go with stealth look and have them be all blank at that point
sand pagoda
I mean like why the layout
chrome raft
it's based on comfort
I personally like the fact that I can hit all the vowels on the left hand homerow with dvorak
chrome raft
true, less chaotic
chrome raft
oh nice
I just want to make as much layers as possible honestly
programmer dvorak would be much nicer if I didn't have to move my hands from home row to hit the top row
cunning anvil
i find hitting the bottom row harder than the top
bottom legend row
i prefer to use the premade keymap miryoku, because both programming and designing all those layers each seems like a day unto itself and i like miryoku enough to just slightly modify it and call it good
chrome raft
oh god, I really wanted to try the chord typing just for the sake of having a higher wpm, but honestly it'd be too much work
but 10 key... that sounds doable
cunning anvil
that is the chord typing tho
chrome raft
is it????\
cunning anvil
unless you mean steno

Please don’t tell my friend that small keyboards that improve wpm exist because he already can do 120-ish with 100% accuracy
He will buy one for his Mac lmao

hot damn
just tell him to use a different layout to improve speed lmfao
it's a lie, but it's a lie he'll believe
cunning anvil
itll cancel out

How does the box silent brown compare to the pink?
Box silent brown are nice
Good tactility

A bit scratchy tho
unkempt dome
Box silent brown are not that scratchy
chrome raft
fair enough
oh also, @cunning anvil, I don't know if this'll interest you, but the choc robin switches make insanely good linears if you remove the clickbar. Probably the best low profile linears I've used
cunning anvil
clickbar?
chrome raft
yup, so basically, kailh doesn't do clicky switches the regular way of having the stem be two moving parts
it just has a part sticking out and that just hits a click bar
that's why kailh box jades switch while going down and coming back up
anyways, the choc robins have the same thing
I can open up one rn if you want so I can show ya
but yeah, you can just remove that little bar
and boom, you have a really solid linear with a pretty strong spring
they are excellent, especially when lubed
cunning anvil
playing games with half a 40% and an mmo mouse is surprisingly comfy
chrome raft
ahhhhh, yeah, that's why I gave a friend the nullbits snap, it's a good gamepad when you remove the right side

He needs it because he rights papers fast, and he’s in clubs that right speeches and stuff
Speed I mean
chrome raft
then steno.
cunning anvil
ahhhhh, yeah, that's why I gave a friend the nullbits snap, it's a good gamepad ...
yeah but no number row on a 40%
chrome raft
you're using layers anyways, you'd be crazy to not have a different layout per game
cunning anvil
i do
and i still dont have numbers
idk where id put em
besides, i only have 1 gaming layer for fps's

I wanna try making a keyboard with a rp2040 next since I hear those are easier and more intuitive to program, but I don't know enough yet
need to look more into it
cunning anvil
do you wanna do integrated design or use the lil boards like rpi pico/arduino pro micro?
chrome raft
if I'mma be putting time into doing a pcb already, may as well do integrated design
especially since I wanna learn the esp32-c3
cunning anvil
yeah fair
i prefer to do them lil boards because i dont wanna solder tiny things or pay for soldering tiny things until im confident with my design

oh I know I'll mess up horribly
the plan is to beat myself up over it for 2 hours and then get to scratching some traces off so I can run some jumpers lmao

Question about keyboard firmwares that work with something like VIA. What determines how many layers a keyboard can do? Is it just the memory on the chip? Can that be changed?
My K2 pro has four layers but two are reserved for Mac and two for windows. Would it be possible to merge those so I have four layers for windows?
chrome raft
and it still has usb c to boot
chrome raft
Question about keyboard firmwares that work with something like VIA. What determ...
that's an interesting question
would you be ok with flashing qmk on that and making your own config files?
cause if you're still using via, it won't be possible
chrome raft
you can just flash qmk on a via board though, if I remember correctly
glass jolt
Is that because via expects a certain layout for a prefab board it supports?
cunning anvil
idk if its always that straightforward, i had trouble doing that with a keychron board
glass jolt
Yeah I was hoping I'd be able to get more than the two layers to be honest. I would love to have a layer dedicated to something like DaVinci resolve and maybe one for programming macros
I guess the alternative would be to change a layer based on the app you're using
chrome raft
mmmmmmmmm, honestly it has a lot to do with how keychron set it up in the beginning. I'm not too sure of how it works and tbh I've never had the pleasure of using via cause there's nothing that works on wayland, but through qmk it should be trivial I think?
chrome raft
I don't use chrome or chrome based apps
it's why I stopped using atom lmao
and discord
and gui steam
sand pagoda
Imagine being apart of one of the more expensive hardware hobbies, lmao
glass jolt
Maybe I'll skip that for my keychron and so that for the helix split board I'm soldering. I think it has 4 layers
chrome raft
Imagine being apart of one of the more expensive hardware hobbies, lmao
oh man, you definitely haven't heard of quadcopters lmao
cunning anvil

chrome raft
fucking loved making my quadcopter, but damn was that a sinkhole

I did RC off-road racing for a while. You think keyboards are expensive?
sand pagoda
Audio is an arguably more expensive hobby
glass jolt
Oh yea
cunning anvil
are cars hardware
glass jolt
Audio can also be waaay technical
chrome raft
my only knowledge on rc stuff is fpv drones
that was definitely the biggest money sink at that time of my life
glass jolt
I ran 1/8 scale monster trucks and buggies. Fun shit launching off a 20' dirt ramp
cunning anvil
i wanna buy vr gear but egh i have enough hardware problems
glass jolt
Cheap drones are terrible
chrome raft
cheap drones aren't stable to begin with, so flying em sucks
sand pagoda
Yeah
glass jolt
What's hard is flying RC helicopters. That shit is bonkers. But then again so is the stunt flying for those things. Absolutely bonkers what people can do with those in the air
sand pagoda
The helicopters imo were more stable
sand pagoda
But I also don’t think it was exactly a cheap one
glass jolt
More expensive helicopters have good stabilization. But quad can be way more stable
chrome raft
and if you're getting into cinematography drones, octocopters are a thing as well
sand pagoda
The drone would go way to high (you had to keep upward pressure with this one or it would just stop) and it moved way to out of range way to fast, it crashed and fell on the roof
sand pagoda
Yeah, it sucked
chrome raft
well not exactly
but like, with proper flying controls, you're supposed to adjust the stick as if it were a throttle
you don't just go up and let go when you get to the height you wanna get to
seems like you're talking about the difference between a drone with just an accelerometer and one with sensors for height and gps
cause those are two different flying experiences
glass jolt
If it's slowly went up on its own it's possibly the controls weren't calibrated well
sand pagoda
It would be nice, on a small joystick that moves with like all the sensitivity it kinda sucks, it was like all power or none
glass jolt
Yeah those kinds of cheaper drones aren't that great. It's been a handful of years since I did it and ones with altitude adjustment or available in fairly cheap models
chrome raft
you'll see that he never drops the throttle to zero, otherwise the drone would literally drop out of the sky
glass jolt
Yeah a lot of pros do that because the auto balancing stuff helps people that are newer. But when you do racing or pro level flying you don't always want those safeguards because they limit what you can do. Which is why you probably had to keep some pressure to stay vertical
cunning anvil
uhh keyboard design thing: whats something i can i do with like 2 pins?
cunning anvil
i mean i have 2 left over
i have 11 pins, 9 for matrix, figuring out what to do with 2
chrome raft
lemme think
cunning anvil
might even bump the matrix up to 10 pins, so possibly 1 pin?
chrome raft
if I remember correctly, the nullbits snap had 4 pins to power and get data from the other half of the keyboard via pogo pins...
assuming one is ground and one is power
two would be data
so maybe adding an entirely separate keyboard would be doable, no?
cunning anvil
i assume they use an io expander
chrome raft
yeah they definitely do
patent spruce
Is the keychron c1 good? It seems really cheap and has good reviews
cunning anvil
i mean its supposed to be a macropad so having another keyboard attach to it seems like losing sight of the goal
chrome raft
but an io expander might be the only way to add something interesting, unless you wanna have something simple like a rotary encoder
chrome raft
Is the keychron c1 good? It seems really cheap and has good reviews
it's solidly built and has good options. I'd say it's pretty good, but the all metal case makes it too high pitched for my ears even when using linears
but that's just an opinion
cunning anvil
but an io expander might be the only way to add something interesting, unless yo...
hmm, encoder and 20 keys or 25 keys and maybe an LED or something?
cunning anvil
yeah but 20 keys isnt enough for most games without an mmo mouse
unless layers i mean
chrome raft
ah you're making it for a gaming macro pad
chrome raft
that's a bit harder, but honestly...
what games do you play
cause if you play any rhythm games, I would say to not use anything that uses qmk
cunning anvil
nah no rhytm
chrome raft
and it seems like you're gonna hand wire it
ah ok ok ok
yeah cause rhythm games are sometimes only playable with something that has 1k hz polling rate, and anything using qmk is stuck at like 125 if I remember correctly
cunning anvil
im down for pcb design
chrome raft
then io expander all the way
chrome raft
not from what I've read, but I may have outdated knowledge
that's why I'm interested in the rp2040
it's default 1k hz
cunning anvil
fair
chrome raft
considering there's an entire article talking about how to enable it, I'm pretty sure qmk is default 125
cunning anvil
yeah i only see it mentioned in some weird places, nothing official in docs
cunning anvil
unless is a rp2040?
chrome raft
rp2040 doesn't use qmk
cunning anvil
it can?
chrome raft
it can... doesn't mean you get the best performance from it
chrome raft
not entirely sure, but I've even seen people using straight up circuitpython because it was easier to flash than using qmk
since you know, you just drag and drop
chrome raft
deadass?
chrome raft
oh yeah that's not what I'm talking about
chrome raft
like, the one I saw was that even while the keyboard was running, you just drag and drop

also, bluetooth dongles don't exactly work well with kvm switches if I remember correctly, since they just add the bluetooth capabilities to the computer, from there you just connect to the keyboard like as if the computer already had bluetooth. unless you're talking about a 2.4ghz receiver

the 2.4ghz receiver would definitely work with what you want

what are some good split keyboards with wireless? either bluetooth or 2.4ghz
sleek bronze
Wireless 2.4Ghz is super rare and you kind of need to make it yourself
Do you want an off the shelf keyboard or do you want to go the diy route? @glass jolt
How many keys, concave or not ?
glass jolt
prefer kit, but either is fine.
yea, just bluetooth is fine.
just being hopeful to be able to use a dongle lol
sleek bronze
Off the shelf I would recommend kinesis advantage or glove80
Diy there are just dozens of options, dépends on what you seek, the most known would be kyria, corne and sweep I guess
glass jolt
im considering the sofle rgb, but it doesn't have wireless it looks like. though I have seen others make it wireless, im just not sure how.
sleek bronze
Also depends on if you want small and portable, ultra low profile
Or concave full ergo etc
glass jolt
i prefer low profile over portable. planning on using low profile kailh chocs
sleek bronze
im considering the sofle rgb, but it doesn't have wireless it looks like. though...
To make a keeb wireless you swap the controller for a nice!nano (or seeduinoo Xiao ble but that's for try harders)
Then you plut a battery, and a power switch
Most known keebs have their PCB compatible with all that

that kenesis ... looks ... like its from a scifi movie. not sure i would ever go with that.
sleek bronze
Haha

Ortho is horrendously bad, what you want is columnar staggered
glass jolt
hah im on their site now. looking at their lily58 build.
sleek bronze
But all of what we talked about is columnar staggered
glass jolt
ah, yea. thats what i mean. more columnar. similar to say how the lily58 is
yea, good deal.
sleek bronze
It doesn't have a lot of stagger
Do you have small or big hands ?
From my experience if you have really small hands you need way more stagger
With big hands that's way less of a problem because your pinky reaches everything anyway
glass jolt
probably normal sized hands i feel
ooh, yea kyria. i do think i want one more row than that. so being able to also have numbers/function row. im a developer so i odn't want to limit the keys too much. i like somewhere between 65-75%
sleek bronze
I'm a dev too i use a 34keys keyboard
glass jolt
seems so odd lol. i almost feel like it's too different to normal keyboards heh. they look cool though
sleek bronze
if you go the split route you have to adapt more than just splitting your keyboard in two imo
glass jolt
oh for sure. i meant beyond the familiarization of that. which is why im keeping my normal keyboard for now.
sleek bronze
you have to start using layers and such
Especially for random keys such as fn keys
Layers are incredibly easy to access with the thumb cluster, that's the whole point
glass jolt
yea, true
sleek bronze
And honestly i'm way happier to have a numpad-like fn layers under the hand without having to move, it's faster
glass jolt
yea, i was planning on doing that anyways.
how long did it take to get used to a 3 row keyboard?
for development
sleek bronze
I also went full on colemak mode
And vim
And archlinux
And tiling wm
Sooooooo
Yeah it took some time to say the least
glass jolt
ah. i don't use vim but i use vim bindings everywhere i can
i love arch. though i usually use manjaro for desktop
i used i3 for about a year?
glass jolt
yea ive heard good things about that too. but i got tired of the constant tweaking it.
sleek bronze
But 4 raw is enough imo
glass jolt
yea id be ok with 4 rows
im a software dev and getting into some video editing (davinci resolve)
sleek bronze
You don't use fn keys enough for them to warrant a dedicated row, also a fifth row would be super far away to reach so...
It would be more comfy to just have them in a layer, under the thumb in a numpad way
glass jolt
yea i agree. i would use the fn row for a lot of macros to be honest
sleek bronze
But yeah, a split kb kit is a good starter, no need to think about the pcb, the components compatibilities etc
glass jolt
yea, im more looking for layout. i like the knobs on the lily58 and Corne
sleek bronze
But do note that their choc kit does not have choc spacing
Knobs are super gimmicky haha
sleek bronze
I only use two thumbs keys on my corne ^^
glass jolt
i would find it useful in video editing though.
sleek bronze
it's not analogic
anyway, thumbs are short and not super dexterous, too many thumbs key isn't that great
glass jolt
fair
sleek bronze
Could be great for maccros I guess, but for general use ... not really imo
glass jolt
i guess it also depends on how many layers you have
they keychron i tried only had 2 layers.
which was a letdown
sleek bronze
You can program as many layers as you want to
also there is more than just "layers"
hold layers, one shot layers, tap-hold keys, home row mods, combos...
glass jolt
how would I add more layers? the keychrons have 4 layers but 2 dedicated each to mac and pc
based on the switch position
sleek bronze
Those keyboards are QMK based (zmk for wireless)
sleek bronze
You can configure it through code (it's easy, even for non dev people)
it's like a list of matrices representing your keyboard
glass jolt
yea, makes sense
sleek bronze
And you have keys that say "go to matrix number x" and each matrix is a layer
And the way the key works can be different
glass jolt
sounds like a stream deck on steroids hah
sleek bronze
For example my backspace key does backspace when tapped and symbol layer when held
glass jolt
nice.
sleek bronze
My "n" and "t" (index finger home row on colemak) do n and t when tapped and shift when held
glass jolt
do you have any articles or something showing how to do that manually? going to look it up too
interesting.
sleek bronze
Hum I never tried zmk yet (the wireless one) but I have general things in mind yeah
glass jolt
sounds like it took a long time to get that all down
glass jolt
awesome.
glass jolt
great thanks
sleek bronze
(remember qmk is wired, zmk wireless, but the ideas are the same)
Also for each keyboard you have a list of default keymaps that work okay with already some layers etc
That are in the official qmk repo (again wired, sorry never tried zmk yet)
Example for corne
glass jolt

i think i would like the kyria a little more since it has just a few more keys
