¡El Vortex Core Plus es una joya para los amantes del minimalismo! ⌨️✨

Un teclado mecánico ultra compacto del 40% fabricado en aluminio CNC. Destaca por su conectividad trimodal (Bluetooth, 2.4GHz y USB-C), barra espaciadora dividida y soporte total para VIA.

No tiene fila de números ni flechas dedicadas, por lo que requiere curva de aprendizaje, ¡pero su portabilidad es imbatible! 🚀

#MechanicalKeyboards are a hobby that I picked up during 2020 and has accompanied me since. My very first mech was a very standard one from Amazon with red switches that made me think that they were completely overhyped and not worth the price, but it turned out it was just that red switches were a bit too soft for my fingers.

I also learned that I could build my own, and I jumped straight to the other end of mechanical keyboard customization, building an ortholinear JJ50 board from KPRepublic. I cheaped out in all parts (in case I fucked it up, being my very first and all) with cheap knockoff silent tactile switches, and a cheap DSA keycap set, but I splurged in a wooden artisanal top-row SA keycap with an Icelandic rune branded on it, as the escape key.

Cool concept, the $230 #OpenAI #Codex Micro. Couldn't resist giving #PolyKybd the same powers in under an hour. 😅
You can even read the agent status, no color guessing 😉
Cost: $0. No extra hardware, just firmware. #MechanicalKeyboards

Forget “standard layout.” UHK doesn’t really do standard.

You can run it split or not split, fine-tune ergonomics with risers, swap modules, and redesign your thumb clusters around how you actually work—typing, gaming, or living inside macros and shortcuts.

Layer systems on top of that, and the keyboard turns into a fully programmable control surface instead of a fixed input device.

👋🏼 now it's easier to see what's left: https://mintlodica.com/collections/whats-left-closing-shop

i'd say it's bittersweet, but that would be a lie. super ready to be done. lmao

help me clear it out. 🙏🏻 esp if you know folks who'd like the light blue magic girl set.

dear fedi, please help

I have my 2 keyboard halves of the beekeeb piantor (non pro) which are just wiring the mechanical switches to the gpios, no matrix

i'm migrating from pi pico to rp2350b-plus-w by waveshare (custom rust firmware which I'm developing)

the board is a breakout board essentially and has a voltage divider for vsense to gp42. that's it

NOW

the left half, is completely fine

the right half though has gone through the following:

- after many flashes, the MCU started looping like crazy on USB, even on boot mode. Enumerated, showed up and insta reboot. probably toast - maybe I did something stupid in the wiring/soldering, no biggie, I have 3 spares

- next spare, all goes good but 1 key starts sticking. it doesnt work when I press it and at some point it gets stuck. all gpios are internally pulled up. I measure it and it gets pulled to around 1.5v. probably toast gpio, no biggie, I have 2 spares

- before I replace the MCU, I grab a new one, flash it and measure all pins and ALL of them get pulled to 3v3, as expected. I put the board on the right half, some time passes, 1 gpio fails and a bit later, another one fails

what the heck is happening??

obligatory AIed and googled to death. I found out about the errata 9 of the 2350 but its not relevant, it has to do with pull downs, not pull ups

My one IRL #mechanicalkeyboards buddy went ahead and designed a truly custom keyboard. It's got gerber files and everything. Respect.

I can't go less than 6x4 keys per hand, but I do love the trackball under the thumb.

One of our favorite budget gaming keyboards drops back down to its lowest-ever price of $45 at Amazon — RK R65 packs lubed switches, metallic knob, and gasket mount for excellent sound and feel

I learned touch typing with the website monkeytype.¹

It's a nice website, but it's full of surveillance-capitalism crap, like Google's Firebase. Its developer is a twenty-something five years out of college. He started monkeytype in 2020 while still being in college, so I presume he doesn't know how to achieve his idea in a different way and maybe isn't even aware of the problems that using Google's technology entails.

Users can already be uniquely identified by their typing patterns.²

I am thus sceptic of storing extremely detailed information about my keystroke dynamics (like which letters I misspell the most, which of my fingers are strong and which are weak, how many milliseconds lie between certain bi-grams such as 'th', 'ng', 'he', 'lo', et cetera) in a database on Google's infrastructure.

Knowing Google, they might someday use that information to track me. So I don't want to give it to them in the first place.³ I don't think I'm overly paranoid here.

Has anyone already thought about this?

¹ https://monkeytype.com
² https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keystroke_dynamics
³ I use monkeytype only while being logged out and blocking all Firebase-related network traffic.
