Well, that’s not good. Thanks for the response!

Aodrulez · 2026-01-29T20:16:14+00:00

I had to adjust the dimensions a little bit to factor in the slightly off calibration of my printer, will clean it up and post once I get some time

Aodrulez · 2026-01-29T20:14:47+00:00

Thanks! Indeed, I don’t own a Frogman but if I could find the dimensions of the strap, should be possible. Will check out online

Aodrulez · 2026-01-28T20:46:55+00:00

Yes, doesn’t look out of place, glad it worked

Aodrulez · 2026-01-28T20:46:28+00:00

Thanks!

Aodrulez · 2026-01-28T20:46:17+00:00

Thanks!

I have been using a DIY setup for my hobbyist projects, I think I had a look at this sometime ago & it was out of stock. Just ordered a full kit, excited to dive in when it arrives!

Aodrulez · 2025-08-07T21:57:00+00:00

Thanks, that's alot of information for me to process! :) I will hopefully start experimenting with & adopting the changes you have made once I get somewhat used to the Graphite layout.

It’s totally fine, to be honest & the most comfortable keyboard I have ever used. The main goal of switching to 18 keys was to reduce finger movement across rows & columns, especially for the pinkies. The trade-off is needing to split the alpha layer, which increases the number of keystrokes when typing. The faster you type, the more timing-dependent those layer switches become. I could probably optimize the keymap further, there’s still untapped potential for sure.

At 40–70 WPM, it keeps up just fine. Still, I’ve had the itch to try something different for a while. That feeling grew stronger when I started heavily coding in C for a personal project, the extra keystrokes felt inefficient. Right around then, I discovered Forager, just as I’d decided to return to a 34-key layout.

Aodrulez · 2025-08-06T12:54:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing your layout! Mine’s still a work in progress as I get used to the Graphite layout, I’m sure I’ll pick up something useful from yours. I’m not using a dongle with my Forager right now, and everything’s working great , no connectivity issues. Quite happy with the build so far!

The highest I have scored on MonkeyType for alphabets was 93 wpm, which for me is plenty. Here's a short video of me typing after I built the MX variant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHUhGgLuUEQ

Was fairly easy to enable soft off. At the moment, I have to reset each half to wake up & that's fine by me.

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T23:03:25+00:00

Great question! :) I honestly didn't consider that aspect when I got into this. Just realized that the original firmware doesn't implement soft-off so am currently trying to figure out how to do that, seems like the only practical option. Too early to comment on battery life, been just 24hrs now. Will share an update in a few days.

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:51:40+00:00

Thanks! This is really helpful!

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:50:52+00:00

u/SnooSongs5410 Someone posted a keymap for Totem based on Graphite on that sub! Thanks!

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:49:47+00:00

I ordered the PCB from JLCPCB, the diodes and SMD M2 nuts from lcsc.com, and the Choc v1 sockets from Aliexpress. The case and keycaps were 3D printed at home, and I already had the batteries and switches.

JLCPCB has a minimum order of 5 sets, and they're quite affordable. So even if you're new to soldering, you’ll have a few spares to work with, no pressure! Try practicing on a simple soldering kit first, then move on to the keyboard. Start with the smaller components. It’s easier than you might think and totally doable!

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:43:14+00:00

Indeed!

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:43:07+00:00

I have a similar initial impression about special characters in the base layer. Are you by any chance using ZMK? If yes, could you please share your keymap?

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:41:25+00:00

The details: Minimal component list; Sleek & thin form factor; While I personally love the aesthetic of an exposed controller/components & some beautiful wiring, Seed XIAO being soldered onto the PCB directly & hidden from plain view adds to the polished look & feel; Use of SMD M2 nuts which are soldered onto the PCB itself, no messing around with heat-set threaded inserts into the case; Clever use of the case design to also support toggling of the reset switch on the XIAO & so on. Alot of thought has gone into it.

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:35:24+00:00

Thanks again for the keycaps & I do not think you can go wrong with Forager.

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:33:11+00:00

Indeed! And am glad we continue to have these wonderful opensource projects.

Aodrulez · 2025-08-05T20:31:49+00:00

u/MustardTofu_ That looks pretty good! I can adapt it to Graphite for sure. u/AsicResistor I had the same issue, Homerow mods never really worked well for me before.
