I also hope the engraving lasts for a considerable amount of time š . Donāt think they offer filled engraving but that wouldāve been very interesting to experiment with!
CB34S is a 34 key column-staggered choc unibody keyboard that has wireless capabilities with the Nice!Nano and supports a Nice!View display. Itās my second attempt at a PCB design and I couldnāt have done it without the wonderful community....
Ha, fixed the URL - thank you for pointing it out š„°. Itās a unibody split meaning itās essentially a split keyboard in a unibody. Even though I like to type on a split keyboard while having them shoulders width apart the unibody format allows for easier transportation and typing on the lap while traveling.
As for the main features it ā¦:
supports hotswap sockets
is choc v1 spaced
has the MCU mounted face down
can be used wireless
has a subtle angle of the halves (which I prefer more)
has a bigger gap between the halves
The case is 3D printed with PLA and currently no open sourced. The keycaps used are custom MBKs with Chicago Steno Homing from Pseudoku. If you have any other questions just let me know š.
KLOR is 34 keys split columnar staggered keyboard made by GEIST. I built it with Nice!Nano and without an OLED screen. Been regularly taking it with me to the office.
The transition for me personally was fortunately pretty smooth due to having touch typed properly on a normal row staggered board. My first columnar staggered keyboard was the 3W6. It of course felt different and your muscle memories have to slightly adapt but it was worthwhile with the added comfort a columnar staggered board in a split layout provides. So if you are already touch typing properly I think you get used to it just fine. The harder part at the beginning will probably be finding the right keymap since having fewer keys using mod tap, combos and layers will be mandatory :D.
Oh, thats just one half of it. But using keymap layout such as Ardux or Taipo allows you to just use one side of the keyboard and still be able to type any characters you want. Iām hovering between 100-120 WPM in the split configuration and qwerty layout.
The encoder is indeed placed in a way that allows my finger to not move away from the home row and use my thumbs to navigate the knob.
I got the custom carrying sleeve from Mechfashion from a small private group buy we did. But not sure if the owner still offers customized keyboard sleeves. The domain and business was moved to deskpads. The sleeve provides enough cushion and protection to give me some peace of mind when throwing it in my bag.
Hehe, yeah you can map it to different things. I like to use it for ctrl+left and ctrl+right to quickly jump back and forth between words and also ctrl+pg up and ctrl+pg dn to quickly navigate between browser tabs.
