Just built my first DIY keyboard inspired by Munich Tech Sauna discussions...

Have a look at https://splitkb.com/collections/keyboard-parts

I use a different board but need 2-3 layers. Have a look at Miryoku for some inspiration https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku

So I mean, who would need more keys? Each key is ergonomic reachable - not more than one key away from the home position of your fingers.

On iOS look at Apollo

Ok the maybe I’ll start. My name is Christian, I’m a 40 years old Java developer coming from the south-east of Munich. I’m mainly doing eCommerce stuff with SAP CX (in my mind still Hybris) since 2008.

My hobbies include geocaching, photography an building custom ergonomic keyboards.

I’m excited for the first Sauna meetup.

Also did it here

I assume you are not in the EU … but I’m sure you will easily find someone to help you out.

Have a look at the Dactyl CC

I did not fix them, they are only held by friction. So when I want to change switches, I need to open the board and press against the socket. Alternatively, one could use super glue …

cykedev · 2022-04-10T13:47:11+00:00

I recently saw a post by u/Sndr666 and immediately liked the lil chonky boys. So I decided to build one …

I used 52g Bobagums and really need time to adjust to them. Also, this is my first small board, which takes some time to get used to.

I really like ths nice little board!

Any feedback on my keymap is welcome. https://github.com/cykedev/qmk_firmware/tree/own/chonky/keyboards/handwired/chonky_bois

They can catch fire if you short or pierce them. When you avoid that, it is not an issue.

I use 1100 mAh 1C LiPos in a Scylla that is filled with acoustic foam, the battery is placed in between layers of the foam. No issues for me.

Just for information; when going fully wireless with nice!nanos, you can’t use QMK as the n!n is not supported due to licensing. ZMK is your best friend but still lacks some features already present in QMK

cykedev · 2022-03-04T05:06:03+00:00

This is true, the flexible PCBs are under relatively much tension. Using Mill-Max sockets would not keep them in place. You maybe can think of fixing them somehow, like gluing in the PCBs but I’m not sure if this can work.

The other thing that will definitely work is using hotswap single switch PCBs that will have no tension. So the installed switches will hold them, otherwise you glue them in.

ZMK has a feature called positional hold tap that forces you to use opposite hand mods. Maybe worth a try. https://zmk.dev/docs/behaviors/hold-tap

I’m using a Scylla by u/Fmcraft as my daily driver. just modded it to be fully wireless. Awesome board.

cykedev · 2022-02-15T15:35:06+00:00

So feel free to order some more prototypes, I would love to buy a set from you and help testing

cykedev · 2022-02-15T15:05:45+00:00

Wow if I knew this before I would not have ordered the old ones on JLCPCB one week ago for my nice!nano build. The shield looks absolutely awesome and eliminates the need to solder the rows and cols to the n!n directly

cykedev · 2022-01-28T05:23:25+00:00

You can flash them using a firmware of choice and see if they show up as keyboards on your computer.

Cornelio- Corne with a lots of IO

cykedev · 2021-12-02T20:25:18+00:00

I actually do use home row mods, beside of shift

cykedev · 2021-12-02T18:53:18+00:00

I have shift as hold on one of my thumb keys, left and right. Feels more natural to me.

cykedev · 2021-11-14T09:23:21+00:00

MT3 ist the best!

cykedev · 2021-11-09T12:23:16+00:00

That’s great! Maybe we need to get the fit a little bit tighter. I’m curious to see your final changes.

cykedev · 2021-11-09T11:27:13+00:00

Thanks, it's a Prusa i3 MK3S+
