  1. Had the kit for it since December now, but didn't quite get around to actually tackling that project. But last week I finally got around to writing the keymap and getting it to compile, and on Tuesday I managed to print the case and assemble everything.

    I even assembled it wrong at first, and only realized after I already had soldered all switches, meaning I had to unsolder everything once. Still, I managed to finish it.

  2. If you are tall or have broad shoulders, you may particularly benefit from the ergonomics of a truly split keyboard.

    There are options in all sizes and layouts.

  3. @wsa That’s a Boardsource Unicorne with MT3 keycaps and a custom cable between the halves.

    I created my own layout firmware for it: mark.stosberg.com/markstos-cor

    At this point I’m fairly fast and efficient with it.

  4. wanted to build a new version of vial, bcs i want CHORDAL_HOLD for my piantor but failed to install arm-none-eabi-gcc with c_nano on gentoo for some reason so just did the build in a ubuntu podman container :3

  5. ZSA is really good at #keyboards 😍, and really bad at capitalism* 😁. I broke a part on my #ZSAVoyager and emailed to buy a replacement PCB (1/3 the total cost of the board!). I didn't ask about using the warranty because I'd made some mods that voided the warranty ages ago, but they looked up my order, saw it was still under warranty, and said they'd apply it. I thanked them and said I'd voided the warranty so I'd just pay for the replacement, but they said the mods I'd made wouldn't have caused the problem so if it would be okay with me they'd like to cover it anyway.

    *I love them for this

  6. Well, now that my lily58 ergo mech board is down I'm falling back to my spare. It's an Epomaker TH 66 and its fine for a standard board.

    I got to say though going from column staggered back to row staggered is not a happy place for me.

  7. I'm crushed. The left half of my lily58 ergo mech keyboard started flaking out yesterday. Once plugged in it types 5tgb and then those keys go dead. I'm thinking a short.

    It's a boardsource.xyz buy, not quite a year old. I'm going to reach out but any troubleshooting would be appreciated.

  8. The patio tables at most cafes make the perfect surface to put my magnetic keyboard stands on. 😁

  9. I've taken the next step on my #AltKeyboardLayout #SplitKeyboard journey where I move from the #Gallium layout to the #Graphite layout. While there is not a huge difference between these two keyboard layouts, the Gallium layout has some punctuation tweaks that might make it easier to type the \( \LaTeX \) code in my lesson handouts.

    It was not without some challenges to implement #graphite on my #ZSA #Voyager keyboard though -- I captured some of my journey in this blog article:
