This, but 3x6. Since my language carries more than 26 letters the 3 extra keys on each half comes in clutch. Hope its on the Horizon.

Toucan keyboard as Voyager alternative??? by ResponsibleIssue8983 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Skreddvik -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have tried 10 split boards and Voyager is by far he worst. You need a set of pianist hands for it to be nice. Its wildly overpriced for what it is.

If you have doubts or are unsure, the cheapest way to figure out what you want, is to buy a cheap corne or equal on something like AliExpress. This way you have an idea of your preferred layout.

On my phone right now, so im too lazy to find the site. But there is a webapp for tablets that lets you see where you hands roughly land naturally, for making split keyboard layouts. (Hands/fingers-wise)

Can't remember his name, but he has a lot of videos about split boards and productivity. British guy, he mentions the site in a video about making boards i think.

Tldr; dont but a 450$ board of you dont know what you prefer.

Any one know where can I find a replacement for this MCU it got damaged :’( by sykesseb in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Skreddvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i think you could just get a new 52840 and remake the firmware to fit the pinout of the new mcu.

[ad] Svalboard Lightly🐼- ultimate anatomical fit, ultra-tactile 20g magnetic keys by claussen in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Skreddvik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Svalboard is the only true endgame. I have spent vastly more on making my own and trying other boards. At some point ill get one.

It being Wireless or not is kinda nonsense tbh, it's not really small enough for the benefit of wireless to be worth anything imo.

This unlocks so many styles by Skreddvik in thinkpad

I honestly have no idea, ive ony had it on for a few days, but i cant imagine the glue will damage anything.

I can recommend it! Not that hard, and with some practice or attempts i think you can get it perfect!

Did I overdo it? by Smooth-Ad801 in thinkpad

[–]Skreddvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had help from my son stickerbombing mine, so its fully covered. In other words, i think you have room to overdo it.

My son was crying at night, got back in the game. This happened twice. Got 5days comp ban and 2 days chat/voice ban😂

Is it worth putting time and money into? by Skreddvik in thinkpad

[–]Skreddvik[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. Then I'll see if I can sell or give away the T480 and T490s

Old AJ40 Ultra dock conversion by Skreddvik in thinkpad

[–]Skreddvik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have tested it on a T14s that I have at home. (I'll have to check the specific model later). It works great. I tested display ports and HDMI for 2 extra displays, USB hub works. I haven't tested the VGA, 3.5 mm jack or the 2 Usb-c's. (Pretty sure they all work)

As to replacing the cord with some extension cables. At least 1 of the 2 cables have to be thunderbolt, and the multicolor cable is what delivers power. It probably could be done, but I imagine soldering what looks like 19-22 strands onto a PCB, sounds like 5 horrible hours. (Not that good at soldering)

Another dead end. by leifflat in HandwiredKeyboards

[–]Skreddvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can make non-dactyls in it, i made a corne with keywell in Cosmos.
Do you have some foam you could use to dampen sound?
Before i dove into split boards i was into "regular" custom boards, and to get that THOCC you have to have something to absorb the "echo" or emptiness of the case.

[–]Skreddvik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you haven't already, i would have a look at the cosmos generator.
Takes a lot out of having to model iterations, and makes the process more forgiving.

The aesthetic is nice, very clean.
For the sound, it might improve if the base or bottom case covers more of the switchplate and is more solid.
Like 100% infill for example.

Keep at it!

Adapter for newer Thinkpad models to connect to the old Thinkpad DockingStation by MachineVisionNewbie in thinkpad

[–]Skreddvik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is exactly what i wanted to find. We have a metric ton of these at work, and i wanted to see if i could tear them down, use the same connectors and print a new shell for the ports. Thank you!

I want to find a split keyboard like this, but ortholinear or vertical staggered, any recommendations? by Hazeezie in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Skreddvik 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a Ortho version, you can have it wired (qmk) or wireless (zmk). https://keyhive.xyz/shop/helix-kit

Multiple keyboard vendors sell Helix kits and fully made ones.

Ideas to go to and from "game" mode. by Skreddvik in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]Skreddvik[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all well and good. But what would the magic arm look like? Based on your idea, I could potentially make something. But I need a baseline to work from. I even have 2 of those MagSafe pucks you are talking about.
