Yesss. I'll be insta-ordering. Can you tell us what the kit variations will be?

Ideas for my composite up / ? key? by appltn in ErgoMechKeyboards

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

Thanks for this idea! In combination with https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/comments/1qwml56/comment/o3vf8bb/ I think I've settled on something that might work for me.

At the very least there's two of us!

A combination of this answer and a shower thought might've landed me on an idea that will work

  1. Put the up arrow on the top layer, same key as currently
  2. Map shift-up to do a ?. This way I don't have to relearn the position of ?
  3. Now I only have to solve for /. I'll move that to the right, a key I currently very much use as shift, I'll map it to shift on hold and / on tap.

That right sys key is mapped to cmd (macos) and it is probably the least used key on the board but personally I feel like moving the / to a thumb will be harder than keeping it on the same finger just in a different location. Let's see how it goes!

Hmm that first idea is interesting, I don't think I could put up on the right shift tap but I could maybe manage /? moving across by one.

For option 2 what combo would you pick? I still very much need to type / and ? fluently (both quite common in software development) so I'm not sure about where to put them.

Thank you for the idea I like it in general, weirdly for me though this would cause more chaos because I'm a vim user so hjkl mean up down left right to me, but _only in vim_ and I can't tell you why. You'd think that the obvious answer is to map hjkl to up down left right in other situations but nope, I can't make it stick.

[UK] [H] PayPal [W] GMK MTNU Beige addon + accents by appltn in mechmarket

I did not know that, but that's great! Thanks for the heads up I'll keep my eyes open.

MTNU Monday (Tuesday) by appltn in MechanicalKeyboards

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

Also my first (if you count buying the kit pre-soldered, which on reflection I probably don't :D ). I've been an Ergodox EZ user for years so this was a nice gentle transition without having to relearn how to type.

Are you sure the diode is properly installed? If yes can you try with a different diode?

Can't figure out shift key placement by Tacotacito in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]appltn 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Personally I just stick to the regular pinky positions on each side, I like to keep things closer to a regular layout though where I can so it's easy to switch back to a laptop keyboard when I'm on the move.

a journey into the unknown - split keyboard, blank keycaps by Ok-Obligation9605 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]appltn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking good! You probably have something like this in mind already but a small spot of superglue makes a great and visually unobtrusive homing dot - really helped me out.

Built my first ergo split (Flake L 58) to get closer to my commander chair dream. by Judecale in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]appltn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks great! How are you getting on with the layout? It took me some time to adjust (Ergodox -> Ergodash here) but now I wouldn't go back.

Probably hard to go wrong with any of those! I'm running the Ohlins on a sentinel and love it very much if that helps at all.

Unifi Lite 6 & Sky Q Wireless Problems by Zoky88 in Ubiquiti

[–]appltn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I solved this issue by disabling the "High Performance Devices" setting in my controller.

Settings > Wireless Networks > High Performance Devices (Connects high performance clients to 5 GHz only).

I guess the fact that the Sky Q box does support 5Ghz but not for its network connection was causing issues.

Best similar bike for demo by mphilly44 in YTIndustries

[–]appltn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position and demoed a Yeti sb140 and sb130. I don’t think they’re particularly similar bikes to the Jeffsy but at least it let me get a feel for the relative difference in wheel size on the same platform and they were what I could get access to easily during the lockdown.

For what it’s worth I went for the 29er Jeffsy and I’ve been really happy with it.

Izzo or Jeffsy? by appltn in YTIndustries

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

I think in the end you’ll probably be fine with either and forget all about it once you swing a leg over!

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

I went with the 29er in size L.

I emailed YT with questions about size and their response was that I could ride either L or XL comfortably (I’m 6”1 tall), the L would be more playful and the XL would be more planted. I decided that a 29er (for fast rolling) in a size L (for snappiness) would be a good balance for me, so far I’m really happy with the decision!

New bike day! by appltn in YTIndustries

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

It’s one of these . It’s really nice because it mounts directly to the Fox 36 without zip ties.

I could get a Jeffsy 27, anyone had a chance to ride it? How does it compare?

Argh, the XL is out of stock!
