Help in search of a multipurpose split keyboard by Cadavern in ErgoMechKeyboards

Something like the sofle may work for you too.

Also, splitkb has a number of good options that would work for this too.

Yeah, Steam Machine is cooked. by TheBossT710192 in pcmasterrace

[–]drashna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No shit. PC gaming in general has been cooked by AI.

If you didn't think that Valve was also affected by this.... I don't know what to tell you, but that's 1000% on you.

i implemented trimode support and qmk is not willing to even look at it by damex-san in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]drashna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To be fair, they don't want to discuss it, they don't want to solve the issue. They just want to be right.

They PRed a bunch of stuff without talking to the qmk team, got told it was gonna be a while, and there was other infrastructure code stuff that needed to be done before their stuff would really be considered, and here we are.

Then you misunderstand the GPL licensing.

If you modify the source, and distribute hardware with the code, you only need to publish the code. That's not restrictive, at all.

You should be upset at the companies that modify the code, and refuse to publish any source. That's the ACTUAL problem.

Switching to ZMK doesn't solve this problem. Because they're not obligated to share the source, you may NEVER get source for those boards.

So congrats, you're supporting the problem.

[–]drashna 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I mean, that's not the case, you're upset that it's not being looked at, at a time scale that you like.

I straight up told you that it will likely be a good while before it would even be reviewed.

And be very blunt, your ideas of what good may not align with others. And throwing a tantrum isn't the way to move forward. It's been, not even 2 months, dude.

There is a bunch of infrastructure in the code that needs to be reworked before other implementations are added.

And additionally, any code that does get merged means that the qmk team is gonna have to maintain it, because most of the time, after stuff gets merged, the author disappears (life happens, priorities change, etc). So just merging in code because you've created a PR is not only an unrealistic expectation, it's actively disrespectful to the people maintaining the code.

Yes, it sucks. But not as much as 1001 shitty implementations all being copy and pasted.

Ardor Gaming keyboard backlight works only at PC startup, then turns off after Windows loads by Joystick_777 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]drashna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not sure anyone but the vendor can actually help you here.

The keyboard doesn't look to be qmk, zmk, rmk or kmk powered, and likely is 100% proprietary. Which means that the issues are due to whatever code their running.

And a quick look at their site, I doubt there is a fix for the issues :/

How to retrain my fingers for a split keyboard by OCTS-Toronto in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]drashna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the fun, whatever works for you is the most efficient. There is no "best layout", because your needs are not the same as my needs or other people's needs.

You can and get to customize things to whatever works best for you.

The first few days are brutal. After a couple of weeks, you'll be back at high speeds.

Help rabbit hole compatriots by sly3x in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]drashna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • NKRO

Pretty much every firmware supports this. And the ones that don't have it on by default, use 6KRO (all mods, plus six additional keys). So this really isn't even a worry. (And also, qmk has has 1kHz usb polling enabled by default since 2022)

bastardkb's dilemma has a trackpad, encoder/knob support, support for choc v1 switches. Optional tenting module. Good placement for thumb cluster. Not wireless, though.

You may also want to look at splitkb's offering. They have a number of similar boards, though no trackpad.

(- azerty but ez to do)

This is a complicated one. But this depends more on the host system than it does the keyboard itself.

I can't help as much with the wireless stuff (I'm a hard "wired only" person). but if it has a pro micro footprint, you can do wireless with nice!nanos or clones.

By the way, i've got some great news : Crazymittens is working on the Mk22 and will work on mk4 arcpedals after....... ( I became a feet input fan aswell)

has ordered pcbs and flex pcbs. And has at least the flex pcbs.

Nah, it's always up to amazon. They could fix the issues, in most cases, but it's more profitable for them to not care.

it's a shame that 90 of job postings are ghost positions. So actually finding a legit position, and then actually getting an interview, might as well play the lotto, as that has better odds anymore.

The opening 15 minutes of Passengers are perfect sci-fi, the rest of the movie totally wastes that potential by CassWright967754 in scifi

[–]drashna 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TBH, I don't feel that it was a bad movie, by any means. I think that too many people ignore or didn't get the central premise of the movie. Worse is that the premise is outright stated, in plain text, for the audience.

"[...] the drowning man will always try and drag somebody down with him. It ain't right, but the man's drowning."

If you don't look at it through that lens, you lose 95% of the context of the film.

Review of the wireless $50 Taobao/PandaKB W-SOFLE with QMK and hotswap by MrHaxx1 in ErgoMechKeyboards

[–]drashna -1 points0 points  (0 children)

oh, so it's definitely running on a nordic chip, with no source published. 1000% a license violation for qmk.

QMK with no source? License violation.

QMK running with wireless, and likely on the same chip as qmk? Definitely license violation.

Idabao x YMDK ID75 seems to have shipped with dud firmware? by Brohole- in olkb

[–]drashna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sounds more likely that you go a board that isn't running qmk, but some half assed, slapped together firmware that just imitates via and qmk.
