The new displays for my Corne-ish Zen have arrived. I've had it for over three years, and everything is still working great, except for these two sunlight-phobic vampires ⌨️ :neofox_bongo:

Is it just me, or once you start using row modifiers, is hard to go back to a classic layout?

My split keyboard journey
--
In January 2025 I got my first split keyboard. After seeing so many Vim/Neovim video content creators use them, I also wanted to try. Now more than a year later, I'm happy to share my experience with it. -
Since mid October 2023, noticing I was starting to have more and more #wristPain, which were lasting days instead of hours... I opted to give those fancy #ergonomic #splitKeyboards a chance, and after several research hours, I opted for the #ZSA #Moonlander, there were alternatives, but too far from what I was used to, was unsure and this was my final choice. (also found a good local used deal)
Since I was changing keyboard, why not use also a more ergonomic layout? So, I opted for a #shockTherapy and went with #Dvorak and used this combination ever since! My first days were quite.... a going back to when I was 7 years old, sub 10 wpm XD but after a couple of weeks, typing was not as humiliating as before and my speeds increased :)
From time to time, I recorded my progress on #Monkeytype and these at the bottom are 4 months of data, from a classical full size #qwerty at 110ish wpm to currently 60ish, with a constant increase week after week. I am not in a hurry, as my wrist pain vanished, and that was the final goal.. So I'm okay with half the speed and -95%ish pains :)
Hope this might prove useful to someone that is also considering this #journey or have this kind of #pain ^^

Nice, the PCBs arrived. Now it's time to source all other needed parts. Except Pro Micros, I still have enough of them lying around.
And yes, I picked green on purpose. Hobbyist PCBs are rarely green anymore, especially when they are visible and I really like the oldschool vibe of it.
