#mechanicalkeyboards — Public Fediverse posts

Where is the mechanical keyboard community at on @Mastodon? Was opening up a few boxes and found a bunch of keyboards I have put together in the past and several that are still WIP. Would love to find community support to get back into the hobby.

So, looking at #MechanicalKeyboards, there's two from #EPOMaker the #Galaxy100 and #TH108v2Pro that look like the right place for me to start. #KeyChron also appears to have some (more pricy)options

Unfortunately the #Pi500+ is lacking some features of a fully contained system keyboard like usb-c display out and a full numpad.
Custom keyboards are a wide topic, so if anyone wants to share some advice getting my first(second?) Mechanical #keyboard, its appreciated!

Edit: oh, my only other experience has been with a #motospeed #GK89 that showed up at work unclaimed. I like it, I like the clickyness, the back like, numpad, size. I just feel there's something more suited for me then this random acquisition.

Grab Keychron's compact K8 wireless mechanical keyboard for an all-time low of $34 — 87-keys, Gateron Red switches, and white backlight keeb is 56% off

I've got a keyboard, the NocFree &: the firmware is shit. I'm pretty sure they don't have a firmware dev and just thought they could get AI to do it.

My question: I have .uf2 files for a ZMK build of the keyboard and dongle. Can I just put the parts into DFU mode and copy the .uf2 files over? Shouldn't that get me the ZMK firmware for the board?

Commitment issues? We get it. 😉

With hot-swappable switches, you don't have to marry one typing feel forever. Clicky on Monday, tactile on Wednesday, silent on Friday—zero soldering required.

Pop ’em out. Plug ’em in. Keep hacking. 🛠️⚡

#MechanicalKeyboards aficionados out there, I need your #help !
I
My daily driver is an #ErgoDash, that my kid wants next month or so, when mid school will start and I'll probably need to buy a PC for that...
So, I'm planning to buy a new #Piantor Pro BT (yes, #Bluetooth ) from #Keebart online store, for me.
Opinions on that keyboard?
I could actually buy another identical ErgoDash but I was thinking to try something lighter and smaller.
Any feedback?

Haven't had a paper printer in forever so nabbed one of them color laser ones (cartridges are a scam and ecotanks ain't much cheaper), which coupled with sublimation paper allows one to do... among other stuff, dyesub keycaps for my custom keyboard!

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

9 Best Keyboards (2025), Tested and Reviewed

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.
