My second #ErgoMechKeyboard was also featured on this Keyboard news blog https://kbd.news/Gamma-Omega-Hesse-2762.html - as was my first https://kbd.news/Gamma-Omega-TC36k-2690.html and the prior #GraphTheory diode-less #MechanicalKeyboard designs like https://kbd.news/JESK56-2322.html and https://kbd.news/reJESK-2485.html

I am slowly getting better at soldering, 4 out of 7 successful #MechanicalKeyboard PCBs now - all three of my diode-free #GraphTheory wired keyboard PCB designs have worked (eventually) ⌨️🎊

1️⃣ #RaspberryPiPico #RP2040 ‘Gamma Omega TC36K’ (USB only) http://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2025/08/my-first-self-built-computer-keyboard.html

2️⃣ #ProMicro #nRF52840 BLE ‘Gamma Omega Hesse’ https://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2025/10/hesse-diode-free-bluetooth-keyboard.html

3️⃣ #SeeedStudio #Xiao #SplitKeyboard BLE split Forager ‘Acid’ http://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2025/10/partial-heawood-forager-keyboard.html

Underside of the left hand’s half of the ‘Forager Acid’ split keyboard, with a transparent bottom case letting you see the blue PCB, LiPo battery (bottom middle), hot swap switch sockets, and Seeed Xiao controller (top right).

UWOP, so here it is with default RGB as it arrived after I assembled it, from above along with a daylight photo of the caps and one showing the thickness compared to an Apple Magic Keyboard.

After much flailing and gnashing of teeth, I now almost have my second Sofle 2.0 set up the way I like it. I bought one from Ergomech Store, https://ergomech.store/shop/sofle-hybrid-sandwich-style-423, so I didn't have to carry one to/from work daily. But I (accidentally) selected MX style rather than Choc switch sockets (that I wanted). So, I'm waiting on a Corne to arrive that will use the Choc sunsets and caps that I had for this board.

And then there were two: This post was typed on my phone using my first self built Bluetooth #ErgoMechKeyboard, running on battery power with #ZMK firmware: the Gamma Omega Hesse. Like my other #MechanicalKeyboard designs this has a diode-free PCB using #GraphTheory. https://github.com/unspecworks/gamma-omega/tree/main/hesse

Small 36-key mechanical keyboard in a black resin 3D printed case with Chosfox CFX square keycaps in black (home row and thumb keys), orange (top and bottom on left), and robin blue (top and bottom on right). The middle thumbs have a 1.25u keycap, as do the S&L keys (could do this at D&K instead), which fit because these are slightly smaller than the Kailh Choc keycaps this case was designed for. The index and pinky home keys have a homing bumb.

Two small black keyboards, on the left with a USB cable the wired only Gamma Omega TC36K (with purple MKB keycaps), and on the right showing a reset button and USB port on the top edge, the wireless Gamma Omega Hesse (with blue, black, and orange CFX keycaps).

I have just completed my new #ergomechkeyboard , a Tern-ble. The snap-on case is a little tight, and was bowing the sides upwards, but screwing everything down to a board solved that issue.
Now I get to learn a new layout. I am giving myself the goal of learning the Hands Down vibranium variant.

I'm in that awkward stage where I still can't quite type on my #ErgomechKeyboard but when I try to use the laptop keyboard or one of my Keychrons I can't type on them easily any longer either. 😅

I've got to say, Boardsource.xyz has done right by me.

I have my beloved lily58 back up and running thanks to a replacement pcb/micro-controller. Many thanks to all who gave me troubleshooting pointers. I think it was a defective micro-controller all along.

My digits are confused but happy to be back to column staggered!

Ergonomic split keyboard with beige, blue and gray keycaps. Model type is called a lily58.

now typing on the most recent iteration of my keyboard, “cinereus mem”

All I have is this tiny bedside table that already has a monitor on it, and mice are hard to use on the bed. Sooo, I switched to a @ploopy@mastodon.social Adept #trackball and a FalbaTech Atreus62 FT (Colemak-DHm layout) keyboard.

#opensource #mechanicalkeyboard #ergomechkeyboard

A tiny bedside table holding a monitor, a colorful 3d printed trackball, and a CNCed bamboo keyboard. It looks like a really tight fit, everything is really crammed on there. A normal mouse or keyboard, let alone both, would clearly not work in this space.

Well, now that my lily58 ergo mech board is down I'm falling back to my spare. It's an Epomaker TH 66 and its fine for a standard board.

I got to say though going from column staggered back to row staggered is not a happy place for me.

#ergomechkeyboards #ergomechkeyboard #mechanicalkeyboard #mechanicalkeyboards

66 key mechanical keyboard in gray case with beige and light gray keys, yellow special keys and a red rotary knob.

I'm crushed. The left half of my lily58 ergo mech keyboard started flaking out yesterday. Once plugged in it types 5tgb and then those keys go dead. I'm thinking a short.

It's a boardsource.xyz buy, not quite a year old. I'm going to reach out but any troubleshooting would be appreciated.

Two halves of a grey split ergonomic mechanical keyboard. Left half is bare, a naked plate. Right halve has keys in beige, gray and blue.

i'm learning to use qmk home row mods and holy shit it's soooo comfortable. except for the minor issue of locking my PC all the time because apparently i "roll" the A+L combination in words like "actually"

Enkay made a fantastic case for the Teenspirit! Here's their linktree: https://linktr.ee/enkays

Carrying case in a very muted light lavender fabric with white trim. Embroidered in the same lavender color: "I'D RATHER KISS A WOOKIEE!"

A hand lifts a corner of the case, revealing a grey-ish pattern inside fabric and a few keys of a small keyboard also held in white and lavender.

The case fully opened, showing off the additional cable compartment and straps holding down the 18-key keyboard.

i have no idea where to put backspace and enter. they're both useful enough to not want on a layer but not useful enough to get one of my very limited thumb keys. and there's no room on the alphas. i could do mod tap i suppose
i don't know how to do numbers. i wanna do a numpad style layout but that would need a thumb key for zero, but that would need a free thumb key, but that would mean i would need to have it on either my nav layer or my symbol layer. which isn't ideal because i want those for y'know, nav and symbols. maybe a layer toggle is better here, for a sort of "equation mode". side note: i think that's the first time i've typed a Q

#corne #crkbd #ergomechkeyboards #ergomechkeyboard

corne keyboard layout first impressions:

my hands rest much more comfortably on the center thumb keys than the default inner ones so i remapped it
trying to avoid using the outer (further under the hand) thumb keys because that's where i've had pain before. but it's so tempting because it's so useful
i have tiny, weak pinkies so i'm not using the sixth (outer) column
coming up with good key mappings is a fuck
i don't touch type so a lot of keys feel like they're very weird positions to me:
- i keep reaching way too far for B
- i strongly expect C to be under the index finger, whereas other keys were an easier adjustment
- M and N are very confusing
- basically all my problems are with the index fingers
- it really fucks with me that the index finger gets two columns unlike every other finger. feels like i'm fucking up by using the wrong finger but no
