Sunsets are the only choc tactiles. Looking forward to the silent linears coming from lowprokb!
So, you’re saying I should be temp banning you as well?
Is making a post asking if there are moderators “on topic”?
The submissions they made were on topic, just maybe a topic you didn’t want to discuss. I absolutely think this person misunderstood the intentions of the community and got defensive, but the community also dogpiled on this person. If maintaining a healthy community is the goal, we should accept responsibility for being a part of the problem.
I’m not against locking all the posts related to this issue, but I’m not gonna ban the person. I’m not gonna fight any of the other mods if they have different opinions.
I wasn’t trying to correct you at all, just acknowledging that the counter isn’t representative of everything.
Things didn’t get this far from the actions of a single person, so if punishment is expected to be passed out then I don’t think it’s fair to punish only one person. Should the people submitting things to make fun of this person also have their posts locked and given a temp ban?
An active counter doesn’t mean things aren’t being seen. I’ve been here and seen everything unfold.
This person isn’t acting alone. They’ve submitted stuff that is on topic and everyone else engaged. I’m not sure what action is expected of the mods.
The Eternal Keypad has a left handed configuration.
Since you’re going hotswap, you’ve already got about 3mm of space on the back of the PCB. if you make your case just a tad taller, your battery could fit under the PCB.
unfortunately, using a Xiao makes this approach less than ideal. The Xiao’s battery connector is a pad on the back, reducing the amount of space a battery can fit.
GrabCAD is where I usually start my hunt.
One unfortunate thing about ergonomics is that each persons needs are different. No one can tell you what’s best for you, but luckily we have a lot of good options that help you find what does work for you.
If you’re fine with some soldering, there are a lot of open source splits that you could get fabricated for pretty cheap and end up with two full builds. Cantor, Piantor, Corne, Lily, Sofle, etc etc etc. The low cost of having them fabricated and built yourself can mean trying out a few different keyboards to see what works best for you.
When it comes to gaming, maybe using one keyboard for programming and a different keyboard for gaming. It could be just half of a 4 row split, a gaming focus keypad (like the Eternal) or just your current rowstagger board. I personally use a QAZ-alike I designed as a gamepad.
Tenting can be accomplished multiple ways. Some boards have Tenting Puck support. Some can have large bolts added to adjust the angle. For boards without some native tenting support, many 3d printable cases exist that provide tenting and lately I’ve seen a lot people use the magsafe sticker thingies to attach their keyboards to small tripods.
One reason there are so many options is because it’s pretty easy (and fun} to design your own keyboard. It’s not uncommon to try a few different designs/layouts to see what works best for you from each and then design a keyboard to fit your requirements. Designing your own keyboard comes with it’s own set of information overload, but there are a lot of us around to help us.
If you’re down with DIY and Stateside, hit me up. I’ve got a bunch of PCBs in a box that I can part with for stupid cheap. I’ll need to take an inventory of what I have but if you’re interested I’ll gather up the info. I know I’ve got at least an MX Corne.

Looks like some custom MBK to me.
