That's a pretty good point (with layout I meant both colemak and ortholinearity (is that a word?)). I do think it's additional work to learn colemak on a standard keyboard, but I guess you could go for it if you think it would pay off. I just prefer having the same keyboard for all my computers.
From my experience:
Yes, the main thing is you don't have to pay for nice!nanos which are $25 each as I remember. XIAOs are only $10 each. The price I put on tarneo.fr is only as I remember it, might be a bit more depending on location and the shipping options you choose. But yeah I guess even with that it's cheap.
Because it's a decent competitor to the GitHub monopoly. It also has a few unique features when compared to it. Just guessing why OP uses it though (many people do)
Thanks! Looks like I've reached my goal ;-)
Not really, you get used to the small number of keys if that's the question. It's really just muscle memory after some time (I've been using this layout for around a year, iterating occasionally)
Thanks! Some people find the monospace font hurts their eyes though, but I guess it's a tradeoff of the 90s theme
This board:
- Is tiny, less than 10x10 cm for each half, making it easy to carry in a point-and-shoot camera carrying bag.
- Can be made wired or wireless. The wireless version (the one I built) only supports two thumb keys instead of three on each side to leave space for the battery.
- Is cheap (as far as split keyboards go): the whole build cost me less than 90 euros with shipping. The reversible PCB greatly helps with this.
- Can be modified to fit your hands: the four stagger values (pinky to ring, ring to middle, middle to index, index to inner) are defined at the top of the ergogen YAML file and should be changeable without having to worry too much about the rest.
- Supports Kailh Choc hotswap sockets for the switches.
Just ordered the PCBs for my second, custom layout split keyboard, the triboard. I'm also working on a service status watcher + page called swec. It will eventually be able to notify you through gotify whenever your services are down, and maybe even redirect clients to the status page. Some other features include custom downtime messages.
I'd like to keep the board as flat as possible, mimicking the TOTEM's case which doesn't add any height. This means I'll have 0.2 mm between the main PCB and the bottom plate, and AFAIK there is no battery that would have the correct size for this.
Basically title.
Because I live in Paris, it would be nice to buy batteries in store. The most promising model I found is a 180mAh 32x17x4mm lipo.
I could also theoretically use one of these li-ion cylindrical batteries, but they are longer than the keyboard's size (which is 77mm).
Here's what I already tried:
Please ignore the mounting holes and TRRS jacks, I am still unsure about whether or not I want to just ditch bluetooth and make this board wired (which works with kmk)
The ergogen config is available on the github repo.

I just thought this tutorial could genuinely be useful to some fellow ricers.
It explains not only the git status part of making a pure zsh prompt that looks like this:
I use Iceraven with ublock, privacy badger, decentraleyes and canvasblocker.
