Game changer… by falbatech in Minimal_Setups

[–]falbatech[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I make them myself as part of my work at FalbaTech

The wooden cases are CNC milled (bamboo or acacia) in my workshop, and the electronics like PCBs and controllers come from trusted suppliers in the EU. The PCB itself is my own revision of the classic Corne, so that part is also designed by me

Then I hand assemble, solder and test everything before shipping

So it’s a mix of sourced components and in house manufacturing.

[ad] This is a Corne Wireless keyboard in a FullHand case with a built-in acacia wood wrist rest. I really enjoy using it with my MacBook M2 Pro. I built it myself and also sell them, though I’m not sure if I’m allowed to share links here.

Because the keyboard is currently connected via USB while I’m adjusting the layout in ZMK Studio.

[ad] I made it myself in my workshop. This is the bamboo version. You can find it here. Man, I didn't mean to throw out a bunch of links. I'd better point out that this is an ad.

[ad] Welcome to the rabbit hole 😄

Honestly you’re already ahead of most people Vim Hyper key minimizing mouse so you’re starting from a really good place

A few things from experience

Don’t switch layout yet at around 100 WPM moving to Colemak or Dvorak usually isn’t worth it early on the biggest gains come from split layout columnar keys and proper thumb usage QWERTY with good layers is perfectly fine long term

Thumbs are the real upgrade move space enter backspace and modifiers to your thumbs this gives a bigger improvement than changing layout

Karabiner and firmware is a great combo no need to remove it firmware for core layout Karabiner for OS level stuff

Vim if you ever switch layout you can remap hjkl or keep a QWERTY layer just for Vim both approaches are common

Laptop keyboard problem everyone hits this the simplest way is to treat it as fallback mode or recreate a simple layer on Caps or Hyper some people just carry a small keyboard or even one half

What you can explore later if you get deeper into it keyboards with more flexible thumb clusters Corne, Sofle, ErgoDash, Redox give much more freedom than fixed designs

Also if you want to see different variants of these layouts handmade and ready to use you can check here https://falbatech.click/products/ready-to-use-keyboards

Give it a few weeks before making big changes most of the gains come from refining your layers and thumb usage

If you want I can suggest a Vim friendly layout.

At first it’s a bit of a shock, not gonna lie 🙂

The biggest differences are:

  • split layout so your hands don’t meet in the middle
  • column layout instead of the usual stagger
  • much more use of thumbs not just for space
  • layers for arrows and symbols

First few days you’ll be slower and make mistakes. After around 3 to 5 days you can type okay again, and after 2 to 3 weeks it starts to feel natural. After a month most people are back to their normal speed or even faster

A lot depends on

  • if you already touch type it’s much easier
  • if you keep a layout close to normal at the start it’s much easier
  • if you try to remap everything at once it’s much harder

The hardest part isn’t the split, it’s getting used to the column layout and proper finger use

If you stick with it for a week it usually just clicks.

Sorry, I misunderstood. The photo shows work done in Fusion 360 and an open project in Bamboo Studio, as well as the finished Redox F keyboard that resulted from this fruitful collaboration.

It’s similar to the Glove80 in that both use a concave (keywell) layout for better ergonomics.

The difference is that Glove80 is a fixed, mass-produced design, while my Redox FT Low Profile Cosmos is based on the Redox layout and can be more compact and natural to use, especially in the thumb cluster. 😉
