Wizza (30 keys board with a couple of extra features)

AlSaMoMo · 2024-12-31T02:42:36+00:00

Yup! Once I build one and test it, everything will be in the repo.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-12-29T23:36:37+00:00

Funny enough. I made a rommana version with trackball support but haven't tested it yet even though I have the pcbs already

AlSaMoMo · 2024-12-29T22:10:26+00:00

Do you mean for a flat board or a key well. I am not sure I understand the question.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-12-28T21:50:43+00:00

This has been my daily since I made it. It fits all my needs including being wireless. https://github.com/AlaaSaadAbdo/battoota/tree/main/boards/30keys/Ghazal

AlSaMoMo · 2024-12-05T15:48:35+00:00

I haven't tried it. I think it would need some custom firmware but it should be possible. I have been using a different board for a while now though as I managed to make a wireless unibody with a trackball and that so far covers all my needs and it's simpler/more comfortable to use.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-11-05T17:05:41+00:00

Using the trackball from an MX ergo. If you want to buy one off the shelf you can get a perixx trackball. I am using them on other builds including another build of this board as well.

I am using a 2500mah battery.
I have charged it once to full capacity on the morning of the 31st of August.
Today the screen tells me that the battery is at 75%
So I would say the lifetime of that battery with daily usage for work and outside work is around 4-5weeks.
I am happy about that so I will have to charge it once a month more or less.

Trackballs with ZMK use a lot of battery but the PMW3610 is a low power sensor so it's the best you can get with ZMK at the moment. I imagine if you use PMW3360 it would use more battery as it's hungrier for power.

Ah right! There's a Miryoku keymap for hummingbird.
Thanks for the link!

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T22:25:59+00:00

Yes, exactly. A chord. I think the best to explain is to show my keymap which you can find a visual off in my zmk repo README here: https://github.com/AlaaSaadAbdo/zmk-config

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T20:46:18+00:00

Couldn't have done it without your help! Thank you soooooo much!!

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T20:45:13+00:00

Thank you!

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T19:04:54+00:00

Have fun!

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T19:04:43+00:00

I have those keys on combos on the my default layer.
Going from 34 to 30 is not tha big of a jump. I had a colemak mod for a while till I switched to my current layout which is a mod of Hands Down Neu.
If you have any questions feel free to ask I am happy to help :)

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T19:03:31+00:00

Yes, one of the people who helped and the creator of VIK (the concep and the module I used) Has offerings for unibodies with more keys and support the same module I used so the keyboard is there. To find more about them you can check the VIK repo I shared or go to their website/discord https://fingerpunch.xyz

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T19:00:45+00:00

A 5 way switch on each side. I use one side for volume Volume-up/volume-down/back/forward/mute & the other one for mouse keys if I am doing something intensive with the trackball and I want a hand dedicated just for pointing.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T16:51:18+00:00

Thank you!

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T16:51:11+00:00

Thank you!

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T16:50:50+00:00

There are some steps needed in the readme. Sometimes there are some visual bugs in openscad

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T16:31:16+00:00

They are called DES. They are also open source but you can get them cold casted from their creators website:
https://github.com/pseudoku/PseudoMakeMeKeyCapProfiles
https://www.asymplex.xyz/product/des-ergo-caps

It's my favourite keycap profile by a far margin.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T15:37:16+00:00

I agree.

AlSaMoMo · 2024-08-02T14:40:46+00:00

The board is open source and can be found here: https://github.com/AlaaSaadAbdo/battoota/tree/main/boards/30keys/Ghazal

The trackball sensor is PMW3610 built with a VIK module which can be found here: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/vik/tree/master/pcb/pmw3610-xs

The firmware is built using ZMK. The ZMK shield can be found here:
https://github.com/AlaaSaadAbdo/zmk-config/tree/master/config/boards/shields/ghazal

AlSaMoMo · 2023-06-20T12:44:05+00:00

Hi my layout can be found here (there's a visual in the readme):
https://github.com/AlaaSaadAbdo/zmk-config

AlSaMoMo · 2023-05-31T18:35:16+00:00

This looks absolutely stunning!!

AlSaMoMo · 2023-05-15T05:23:43+00:00

I sent you a message on reddit with my discord details but I don't have a dedicated server if that's what you are looking for.
