huh, wouldn’t have thought another lily/sofle-like makes sense to offer, but ig i’m too far removed from commercially available layouts to really have a reasonable intuition 😅
Oh they work perfectly for me :) Very keycap dependent, though! I personally use and recommend DES on MX and CS on choc (both by Pseudoku, stls for 3dp available).
Not sure what layout OP is going for, but the Miryoku layout features lots of the usual ways people go to fit a full keymap (and more) into such small keebs :)
For getting that feeling folks often recommend printing out the layout and testing how comfortable it feels on paper (of course not gping to be 100% accurate but i’ve heard it helps a lot)

Hello everyone! I recently open sourced the Kaly42, a cheap split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard and, to celebrate the occasion, have decided to tell the story of how I went from a standard mechanical keyboard to the CSTC40 and eventually to designing and building a new keyboard! The files are available here and the video here!...
I don’t think i prefer one over the other (yet), Taipo is much more cumbersome for me still. But I really enjoy the different approach and what it gives us in terms of keymap optimization: Effectively removes considerations of rolls, SFBs, and alternation almost completetly!
I teased Mantis v0.3 with two previous posts. I finally finished building it over the weekend and updated the QMK firmware including RGB Matrix support. I’ve been typing on it all day and it’s a joy to use. The layout and keymap are mostly the same as what I had on v0.2 before....
I see. So you have two sets of sockets: soldered ones (those on your controller) and hot-swappable ones (those on your board), and you’ve stacked them. It will probably work fine, but the usual approach is using only one of these.
To be quite honest, I’m not 100% sure how ergonomic this tiny thing is :D It sure is fun to type on it tho and I haven’t felt anything similar to the strain from using pain rectangles while / after using it for a few days.
In this build i have milky yellows, but i’m not super happy with them. My current favourites are the trash switch (linear) and kailh midnight pro yellows (semi-silent tactile).
This is the fanciest version of the Zilpzalp keyboard, with actual plates! Also very nice to be able to use DES caps due to the MX / KS33 hybrid footprint....
It’s minimal choc spacing (while not cutting off stuff from the switches). To be honest I didn’t expect to be able to work so well with it but here we are :D
Yup, I currently have v, z, and q on combos. You can also check my current keymap in the repo I linked above (in the example_keymaps directory).
I’ve been using this layout exclusively for a few months now, the initial learning curve was actually not that steep, since I had been on the Aptmak layout for a while before reducing it a bit to this state.
