Most likely y'all already know this absolute fantastic compendium of custom #DIY Keyboards. I just found it today and I wonder when I ever gonna get out of this rabbit hole ever again...
Perhaps it's new for others, too?https://yal-tools.github.io/ergo-keyboards/?sort=keys

Man. I have been wanting one of these #Nuphy Air75’s (actually have wanted a Field75 more) for ages now, ever once they started spamming my FB feed with their damned pretty keebs. Now might be the time. Don’t have any in my collection yet, and hey, Epipennic Anaphylacticity told me I should get more, so.. #mechanicalkeyboards #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkeys https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CMYYKJFN

Split vs non-split keyboards: once you notice the difference, you can’t un-notice it.
Split feels like your hands finally stopped crowding each other. Non-split feels like muscle memory never got interrupted.Both have their charm — and their stubborn fans.
We basically thought: why choose? Switch between layouts depending on how serious your typing day is. 💡

Still doing these tasks manually?
Here are 3 things your keyboard could be doing for you:
⚡ Typing the same phrases over and over
⚡ Opening the apps you use every day
⚡ Managing media controls and shortcutsA good macro turns repetitive actions into a single keypress.
What's one task you'd love to automate?

My current temporary desktop setup: #HappyHackingKeyboard Professional 2 (electrostatic capacitive #Topre switches) with #Domikey #Orange #Dolch #doubleshot #keycaps
Edit: Just noticed on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Hacking_Keyboard that the #HHKB Pro 2 is now 20 years old — released in March 2006 — and the HHKB in general nearly 30 years, released in December 1996.

CORSAIR VANGUARD AIR 99 WIRELESS keyboard tries to be everything at once and might actually pull it off

Comfort over long hours starts with the right setup. ⏳
Using the UHK Riser, high degree tenting allows your hands and forearms to rest in a more natural, neutral position. By reducing forearm rotation and minimizing wrist deviation, it helps ease physical stress, supports healthier posture, and lowers fatigue during extended typing sessions.
Stay comfortable, stay focused, and keep going longer. 🎯

Keychron K3 HE and K3 Ultra 8K show low-profile keyboards are no longer a compromise

Weil ich sie grade in der Hand hatte: Eine Alpha #G4M3R #Tastatur von #WorldSpawnsKeebs: https://www.etsy.com/de/listing/697280759/alpha-und-varianten-platine-oder-bausatz?variation0=1506147459&variation1=1488468018
Trotz, dass die Tastatur in der Sonne fast orange leuchtet, ist das Gehäuse eigentlich neon-pinkes, lichtsammelndes #Acryl. Tastenkappen sind (die mittlerweile Klassiker seienden) #GMK Laser.
Leider ist das Loch für das USB-Kabel für die meisten Micro-USB-Stecker auch nach Senden von Ersatz-Acryl-Layern immer noch unbenutzbar, weil zu klein.

Just sent off the #JLCPCB order for my second DIY #MechanicalKeyboard, again a 36-key #ErgonomicKeyboard and self-designed diode-free PCB using #GraphTheory, but this time with Bluetooth (using #ZMK firmware)! https://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2025/10/hesse-diode-free-bluetooth-keyboard.html

My split keyboard I built died for the second time due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), needing a new micro controller once again.
It has taken me some time to get accustomed to using a split keyboard, but for the last month or so I have been able to use it full time without too much issues. So I am quite sad now when it is rendered useless, just when I really made it work out well for me...
Anyone know any preventive measures that could be taken when building the keyboard to reduce the risk of an ESD? I know there are some keyboards being built with ESD protection, like splitkb's Halcyon series and some beekeeb keyboards, but they are all prebuilt, it seems. Do we just have to accept that our keyboards will die at random if we build them ourselves?

Lilbits: Turning a “disposable” vape into a web server, giving the Framework Laptop a mechanical keyboard, and more
Over the past few years I’ve seen plenty of DIY projects where people have used the batteries in discarded vapes to create rechargeable power banks. But BogdonTheGeek found a use for some of the other components found in a disposable vape.
It turns out some recent vapes have a PUY PY32 microcontroller featuring a 24 MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, 24 KiB of flash storage, and 3KiB of static […]

Looks like I might have to retire my wasd keyboard v2 (cherry mx clears) which has been my main input device for the last 12-13 years. Been trying to hold on as I prefer a full keyboard with numpad/media keys/etc and the current 60%/65% mechanical fad I just don't understand how anyone is programming missing the other 40%?! Need as many keys as I can get. Found this thread https://discourse.codinghorror.com/t/what-happened-to-wasd-keyboards/10143/18 which lead to https://cliffle.com/widget/recode but sadly not compatible and unfortunately I have two. Probably could try hacking something together and getting QMK on it but there are a couple of other creature comforts I'd like, wireless, bluetooth, hotswap, single key combos, haptic feedback, tap dancing, etc. Is my only choice to build my own?
FWIW: Please don't tell me about modifying layouts via x11/wayland. I know, it doesn't work uniformly and never has and never will; i'd like to do any layout modding via firmware, so at least QMK.

Woof! That was a hell of a session! Just need to trim off a little bit of rod in the middle columns and then I can start soldering up the microcontroller. Unfortunately it’s a little too late to turn on the Dremel! Absolutely in love with using copper rods instead of wire though, it’s sooo pretty!

My sadness. The long awaited Model F keyboard adapter is the wrong DIN-5 pin spacing 😩. It was marketed as Model F compatible 😭.
It seems there were multiple spacings and this one needs a 240-degree DIN-5, which I've now ordered. And now, back to waiting..

So, maybe next year I might get a new mechanical keyboard by KeyCron, I actually do want to try that out. I'm thinking of hooking up my cheap wired keyboard to my Xbox and just using that.

With a retrofit chip and cable (so it connects over USB), my IBM #ModelM keyboard is apparently immortal.

3d-printed Topre dome (keyboard switch) working! And it has a very satisfying tactile feel.
Printing on 60A TPU - a little bit tricky but doable.
Next step: plastic casing.

First attempt of 3d printing my own #topre dome (keyboard switch) - and it works! Too stiff, but works!
(From the left: original Topre switch dome, my 3d printed version, 3rd party tactile dome for Topre).

I really like using clicky mechanical keyboards like this one that is on my desk in the office. Jen gave it to me. I like it a lot, but I really miss the number pad. I find myself reaching for a number pad multiple times a day when I work at this desk. I’m thinking about looking for a new clicky mechanical keyboard that has a number pad. I don’t know. I don’t want to spend money on it though.
Mostly this is just because the work day is ending soon and I wanted to post a picture of something and I am in the office so really my keyboard is the only subject available to me. You know how it is.

@ComputerBase: Da hat aber jemand auch nicht wirklich recherchiert: "Kappen aus dem Zubehör sind damit keine Option." Was ein Quatsch!
Natürlich gibt es auch Tastenkappen für #Topre-#Keyboards im Zubehör. Sogar inbesondere fürs #HHKB. Siehe z.B.:
https://kprepublic.com/collections/domikey-hhkb-keycaps (Aus der Serie sind auch die Tastenkappen auf dem Foto mit meinem ca. 5 Jahre alten HHKB Pro 2.)

Happy #40sDay to all you #MechanicalKeyboard users!
We've got:
1) Blank Slate wireless ortho, with KAT Mizu keycaps, lubed Akko CS Lavender switches, in the Drop high profile Planck case
2) Technikable low profile wireless ortho, with choc whites switches and MBK legend keycaps in the Ultem color polycarbonate Technik case
3) Le Capybara #Topre split column stagger, with 45g KLC domes, no silencer rings, and MT3 Operator keycaps, in a 3dp Sporkus case.
All naturally running @zmk

Sofle Unsplit has its own name: Stáňa and its own logo. The first iteration of the design is done.
