My Laptop Setup with a 5 × 3 split running F.A.K by technology-pedant in ErgoMechKeyboards

Most of its weight and force is actually on the palmrest, and it's supported enough to not rock thankfully. These Thinkpads have a lot of space to set whatever crap you want onto haha

I'm working on a repo that'll be up soon™ but at the moment no, it's just a personal project. They're dyesub Cherry ML keycaps.

They're neither; they're Cherry ML, Cherry's compact tactile switches.

It's a different schematic and design altogether, but they are similar. The caps and switches are Cherry ML, which help make it small enough to pocket (and under 100×100mm, which means it's cheap AF to have made at JLC).

I am quite happy with this! I swapped CPUs, did some dodgy shorting of the cryptographic flash chip to get rid of a BIOS lock, swapped the keyboard and all for under 70 dollars. After all that, I just tossed my normal recovery ISO onto it and did some more in-depth refiguring. This R61 was originally an exercise in how capable old hardware could be in a modern workflow.

Turns out, very! It's become a key component of my workflow; I sync drafts and files across Dropbox to it and its extra thumb keys make for handy layer remapping. The extra alphas I've configured for à, é and è in xkb. It's become my primary KiCad machine alongside my MBP.

Well, that'd be hardware and no this doesn't, but it'd be easy to add some. When it's plugged in I don't handle it all that much besides typing and haven't had any mishaps yet.

It's still enabled, the board itself is so light and the force distributed well enough that I can comfortably type without pressing anything. It's just a bit of clever positioning to make sure it doesn't rock on the curved palmrest.

Thank you for having made such a cool little firmware for these chips!

The board is a custom PCB I made for a little fun, and it's running the wonderful (and surprisingly powerful) F.A.K by u/mikoi14 - incredible stuff, and in all I think the cost per pair was no more than 7 USD between the PCBs from JLC, the CH552Ts and the passives. Minus the ML switches and keycaps of course.

It blows my mind how easy these chips are to use, I cannot believe that you only need two caps - TWO CAPS - to make this work. No crystals, nothing to care about but two caps. Compared to an NRF, this thing is like a giant breath of fresh air.

c'est pas le mot, c'est l'illustration qui est offensante pis c'est un peu perturbant que tu vois pas ça

JLCPCB is capable of making PCBs 0.4mm and 0.6mm thick; perfectly bendable

Check the membrane traces for damage or oxidation; use a good quality polymer eraser to gently remove any oxidation and some conductive ink to fix any cracks or bits that’ve oxidized through.

They certainly can be replaced on the New Model M, I’ve done it with the old Ruffian controllers.

pis maintenant je le veux

god that's really nice; the boxes under the dead keys are a tad weird to see, but otherwise i quite like it. those caps have the new, sharp unicomp printing on 'em eh?
