Finally calling this done! Say hello to the HellSplit a hand-wired, asymmetric 40% split #ortholinear keyboard with vertical column stagger and two rotary encoders. Powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico's #RP2040 and #KMK firmware

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!

Switches installed… Now I just have to wire it all up. #mechanicalkeyboard #mechkb #keyboard #olkb #ortholinear #cyberdeck #3dprinting #maker #diy

Wanted to play some games recently. Apparently, changing key bindings is not a solved problem in '25. Both No Man's Sky ('16-'25) and Cyberpunk 2077 ('20-'24) have the option to rebind the keys, but ultimately both fail and use the default keys for some of the most common actions. The former is at least still very much playable, the latter not so much.

This is probably the biggest downside of my #ortholinear #4x12 #keyboard layout. Having Enter, Control, etc. in the center makes WASD not viable

Perhaps you've taken a look into working with an Ortholinear Keyboard, but have been put off that many of them come as kits requiring you to learn how to solder. I haven't taken the time to solder (on the bucket list for now). Instead I purchased a prefabricated one, the 40% Plank from DROP. Now I work with the Voyager from ZSA! I'm not sponsored by them, I just love ortho keyboards. Get an ortho, work faster, save your hands.

Regardless of your profession, your hands are one of your most valuable assets. This is especially apparent for those of us working with computers all day. That's why it's important to invest in good tools that ensure your workflow is not only efficient, but ergonomic. Ortholinear keyboards have been the game changer that not only made me more productive, but also saved my hands. Have you looked into Ortholinear Keyboards?

A little over two years ago I discovered the magic that is Ortholinear Keyboards, and my workflow changed forever. While strange looking to the unitiated, these little keyboards are far more ergonomic to use, and once you start to understand the concept of layers, you'll wonder how you ever worked without one. I wrote a short article on the subject over at my blog covering the basics. Check it out!

One of the most valuable investments I've ever made into my Developer tools has been the Ortholinear Keyboard. These keyboards do not "stagger" their keys like the original typewriters, but rather keep the keys straight in line, which ergonomically is superior, as your hands aren't awkwardly reaching out "splayed" fashion when typing. Have you used an ortho?

Trying my first planck-like/40% ortholinear build, it's a cstc40 from kprepublic running qmk. Currently with gateron black that came by mistake, soon with either brown or purple.
