hisbaan,

Mechmarket might be a good place to check

hisbaan,

I find it much more convenient to press a button that’s already under my thumb and then press a button that’s already under my middle finger (for example) to get a symbol I want than move my hands from their typing position to get a symbol. It takes some time to adjust but I’m at about the same speed I was on a standard keyboard while using a corne (like the lily58 but with no numrow and one fewer thumb buttons per side)

Also space is right under your thumb as well, and shift can be in its normal place

hisbaan,

It’s technically a unibody split (notice that t and y are 2u apart) so that qualifies it as ergonomic according to the sidebar if I’m interpreting it correctly

hisbaan, (edited )

I haven’t fact checked this at all but apparently lowprokb.ca is working with Kailh on some choc v1 compatible silent switches which could potentially be used in those boards. Not sure when they’ll be available though

Left handed gamers, Whats out there? (lemmy.world)

I’m currently running an og ergodox right side only for gaming and am looking for something a bit more updated. Is there anything thats a split design that can run right side only, hot swappable switches, and USB-C? Better stabalizer support than the ergodox and backlit would also be a huge plus.

hisbaan,

Take a look at stuff from keeb.io, most of their split offerings can run with either side as the ‘host’ as far as I know

hisbaan,

I think you might like the design of the typeractive.xyz corne where the put the battery under the MCU and have headers to give space for it

hisbaan,

typeractive.xyz is great. It’s run by the maker of the nice!nano microcontroller which is one of the defacto standards for wireless splits. They can be built without any soldering if you get the no solder hot swap headers (for the MCU)

hisbaan,

The main controller you’re looking for is the Hasu controller. It seems to be out of stock though so sourcing it might be hard. That replaces the mini usb with usb c and gives you QMK support. I think you do have to file the housing a bit since usb C is wider than mini usb

As for wireless, I’m not too sure of a ready made solution but you could look into using a nice!nano if you’re up for some tricky testing/wiring; that supports wireless over BLE

hisbaan,

It doesn’t look like there’s a separate controller but there is this project that seems to add qmk support

hisbaan,

Yes, it’s pretty much that simple but you will also need to change your stabs since there are now two keys to stabilize. That means you might have to take pretty much the whole board apart depending on what kind of stabs you have. It will likely be 2 × 2u stabs

hisbaan,

I put my arrows on a layer under hjkl but I’ve also heard ijkl and wasd are popular for that

Help me pick a keyboard

Some context: I write code and play videogames, primarily on Windows and currently on a Logitech K860, which I’ve been thinking of replacing with something that is less wide and/or two-piece. In looking into this I have discovered that there’s quite a number of keyboards that fit my criteria, so I could use some help...

hisbaan,

Check out the quefrency 65 rev 5 by keeb.io. It seems to match your criteria pretty well. For palm/wrist rests I use two purple squishies

hisbaan,

When they say dying battery, I don’t think they mean discharging. They mean the battery has reached or is reaching the end of its life in terms of charge cycles and capacity
