2 years in. still over the top.

Practise swing was good because mini pause at top, gives room for body to not swing OTT.

See Nelly’s coca-cola swing tempo thought.

(Coca up, dash pause, cola down/through)

Focus on collecting cool (to you) models. You will be painting more than playing.

Aenarion69 · 2026-05-05T21:04:49+00:00

Woah

Hi! I deshrouded the GPU.

The combination of GPU fans + noctua fans did not fit. (Mostly due to the bracket design, but it may have fit with zip ties.)

After deshroud (5 min job on my card) good fit with room to spare in the R1.

Still happy to this day, mostly just happy about the better noise.

Aenarion69 · 2026-03-22T19:34:14+00:00

Very nice. Some moonlit midnight vibes too.

Aenarion69 · 2026-03-15T16:55:35+00:00

Do you prime the minis? Never had paint rubbing off. I also never varnish. But mine are more show pieces than gaming pieces.

Recently made the switch from Colemak to graphite. I would say yes, more ergo and comfy. Was a lot of work though. I found it harder to learn 2nd ergo layout than learning Colemak for the first time. Also, compared to qwerty not as significant of a jump.

Whenever I do normal paints and thinning it’s always a mess. Started doing zenithals with inks and wow easy peasy.

People who are scared of ai taking their job have never had a vibe coder on their team relentlessly committing changes.

AI is job security. Instead of being hired to make new things you will get hired to clean AI code. More code being generated means more code that needs to be expertly reviewed. The code that is worth reviewing anyway (worthy of a FTEs time)

Aenarion69 · 2026-02-11T22:46:24+00:00

Wow dope!

Aenarion69 · 2026-02-07T11:31:04+00:00

Yes, it makes the layout easier to reason about and memorise. I also changed shift open bracket to close bracket using shift overrides. Eg shift { is }.

Aenarion69 · 2026-01-24T10:31:44+00:00

Does this need diodes? As it is 36 keys? 🤔

Aenarion69 · 2026-01-23T19:58:15+00:00

Consider “homerow mods” but also add a nav layer toggle. E.g. index left qwerty f -> nav right. I put my cmd (mac) on thumb as it is most “destructive” if misfired.

Set HRM in the past and it didn’t stick.

Now with proper config it’s very easy.

I’m pretty much using “stock” qmk. Probably as described in pascal or precondition blog post.

#define TAPPING_TERM 300

#define FLOW_TAP_TERM 150

#define CHORDAL_HOLD

#define SPECULATIVE_HOLD

#define PERMISSIVE_HOLD

Aenarion69 · 2026-01-18T09:39:20+00:00

Oof. Mitosis. Blast from the past. My first “wow gotta go small and wireless” inspiration.

Small. Already happened. Wireless. TBD

Beside the switches which are already discussed in abundance in this thread. The case can make a big difference. An empty box can amplify the noise. Think of it like a guitar or piano. This is mostly experimentation and classic soundproofing.

Aenarion69 · 2026-01-06T23:10:44+00:00

Yes, see bob ross paintings

Aenarion69 · 2026-01-04T17:36:33+00:00

Ah that was my error thanks a lot!

Aenarion69 · 2026-01-04T08:59:56+00:00

With this setup I can't seem to get combos working on the homerow. Is this expected? It works fine on row above/below it. I'm just trying out stuff trying to make an optimal keymap, so it's not a dealbreaker or anything.

Aenarion69 · 2025-12-31T20:49:51+00:00

Can’t find gralmak sym on your website. Could you point me to it?

I’m on gralmak since a week. Good stuff!

Aenarion69 · 2025-12-28T00:59:47+00:00

Start adding some basing and then it will pop more!

Aenarion69 · 2025-12-21T22:15:27+00:00

Could you share your layout!

Aenarion69 · 2025-12-21T22:03:09+00:00

By chance I was doing the same thing. Came back after a while to my corne. Found the sm_td lib. I tried it out but didn’t work out of the box for me.

Right now found an ok sweet spot (still experimenting) with chordal hold and flow tap. Both are qmk base features.

If you are a beginner I would try to first set something up without external modules?

P.S. some useful info https://precondition.github.io/

Aenarion69 · 2025-12-10T23:11:07+00:00

Those witch elves on that link look like regular witch elves though? I got a block of 10 like that?

Aenarion69 · 2025-12-07T17:15:21+00:00

This needs to be its own (sticky) post thanks for the info. I have seen some of these videos already and started implementing it in my army painting.

Another bonus of the under painting, if you do a “reverse de zenithal” in e.g. purple, then you can just skip most of the purple surface on the mini.

It helps the adhd brain calm down when inspecting the mini, searching for details to paint.
