First exp with a split ANSI keyboard (lemmy.world)

Working as a developer, I spend quite some time in front of my keyboard. So after years of lurking and checking out keebs, I am finally typing these sentences on my first mechanical keyboard - a Mistel Barocco MD770 RGB BT Glaze Blue ANSI. I want to use this post to share some of my thoughts and experienc, to maybe help others...

Luftruessel,

Tyvm! It’s some oak with danish oil. Also I had my first attempt at filling some cracks with black hot glue, which I am really happy with

Luftruessel,

Vertical mouse was a gamerchanger for me

Luftruessel,

It is! Went on super nice, and with a sharp chisel I got a nice surface. Beats messing around with resin easily. I doubt it will hold up as good as resin, but that’s fine for now.

Luftruessel,

My biggest issue was the F1-12 keys on macOS. But then realized I can just turn of the macOS mode and use them like normal. Which keys did you use for macros? Do you switch layers? Have never really used them but always wanted to look into it

Luftruessel,

That does look really nice and it might just be exactly what I want. I’ll throw a few questions in here that came to my mind. (Would be my first build, so I do not know too much):

  • could I get away with one display to see the battery life of both? Or is it just displayed on the connected device? Don’t really know what else I would use it for
  • is there a print sample to figure out if the size is right?
  • it is really only for these kailh choc switches, right? I can’t use others? I mostly find v2 of those.
Luftruessel,

Tyvm for the kind response! I might have to keep my eyes open for the mx version

Luftruessel,

I am curious about the rotary enc. Sofle got it too. How useful is it for development and some gaming purposes?
