I installed the Linear A keycaps on my Keyboardio Preonic en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_A

#Preonic

A black ortholinear keyboard in a 12x5 grid, with two buttons and a knob at the top right and a butterfly logo on the top left. The key caps are the undeciphered "Linear A" character set, a writing system used by the Minoans of Crete between 1800 BC and 1450 BC. Some characters bear a resemblance to modern Latin characters like C or R. Others look like animals or more abstract shapes

Out of all my #keyboard that I have put together, the #preonic is the one I have been using the most. With a few adjustments and #Keyboardshortcuts, I think I have set up the best keyboard for me and my normal uses. Below is a picture of my two layers (I tried to keep it simple for me) and here are my keyboard shortcuts:

General shortcuts
Super A = Show Apps
Super W = Wallpaper app
Super T = Sakura Terminal
Super F = Floorp (web browser)
Super S = search

Media Controls
Alt arrow left = previous
Alt arrow right= next
Alt arrow up = volume up
Alt arrow left = volume down
Alt M = mute
Alt P = play/pause
Alt E = Eject

I may add more in the future as needed, but I think this is a good start. Now I no longer need a dock on my #Gnome setup 🥳

Keyboard layers for a preonic keyboard

New keyboard day! This is Keyboard.io's version of OLKB's Preonic that was launched as a Kickstarter a while back, with a few adjustments and refinements. Most notably there's bluetooth support! #keyboard #preonic

Picture of my Keyboard.io Preonic keyboard in its walnut wrist rest enclosure. The keycaps are all blank, and black except for two orange ones at the bottom for the raise and lower layer functions.

Why, yes, I _did_ get a new keyboard in the mail yesterday which means that yes I _am_ gearing up to rebuild a bunch of keyboard firmwares so things have a kinda-consistent layout. Is this nerd nirvana? …maybe. #keyboardio #preonic

I’m made some tweaks to the colour layout on the #preonic #mechanicalkeyboard. I think this looks better. The purple letterboxing, it was just too much. But I didn’t stop tweaking colour layouts with just this board…. 🤔

I have spent way too much time recapping and re-switching a few of my #MechanicalKeyboards.

Overall, I think they turned out nice.

For those following the #Preonic saga, I converted it over to a more traditional keyboard layout.

I've been refreshing the firmware of my keyboard recently. If you're into tap dances, caps words, and making annoying beeps with a keyboard, you can read about it here:

Here is the current layout of the #preonic from last night. During my downtime today I tooled around with QMK configurator and will more likely be changing this layout tonight.

Maybe it’s the adhd, I had to make some changes to the #preonic keycaps. The green was just one colour too many. Now I toned it down with more orange and a bit more balance.

Here is the before and after #mechanicalkeyboard

While I was upgrading the main keyboard, I upgraded my gaming keyboard as well. The changes here *MUCH* are more noticeable.

I changed out the numkeys and function keys to have the same SP Keys DSA profile for the whole board (with some added color). I also changed out the media keys to be more noticeable (green).

I think it turned out well. This has been my go to keyboard for @Minetest :minetest: and Minecraft

building my last #olkb #preonic #mechanicalKeyboard kit that has been kicking around. One of the nice things about building these yourself is the customization. I put four different spring weights (#zealpc #zilent v2 switches where darker blue is stronger, 78g, lightest blue is 62g) depending on where my fingers have the most leverage, plus my ESC and Enter keys are slightly harder to push and all modifiers are the same force. I call the resulting pattern of switches “twin peaks”

four clear plastic quart size ziplock bags of clear and four shades of blue plastic key switches, each partially filled except the last one which is half full, above a 12 across by 5 row ortholinear keyboard with a red aluminum case on a cherry wood table top. The board is partially assembled without keycaps so you can see the pattern of dark to light blue keycaps which form roughly a twin peaks shape

While I was changing up the split keyboard, I made a few alterations to the #preonic as well.

“Under the hood” I replaced the green tactile switching under the WASD and arrows with silent linears. I also swapped out the silent linear switches under the function keys with tactile browns.

Hopefully the silent switches will help with finger fatigue 😬

I got some new #keycaps coming in the mail today. I will be overhauling the theme to my split keyboard and making some changes to my gaming #preonic.

Pictures to follow once I get the goods 😘

Alrighty, I think I got my #preonic set up as a glorified left handed macro pad for pc gaming.

Switches used:
Purple- TKC Blackberry Clickies
Green- TKC Kiwi tactiles
Light green w/ pink- TKC Magical Girl tactiles
White- Waque Silent linears

I was messing around with my gamerZ #preonic keyboard when I realized a fatal flaw- no space keys 🪦

So I made some changes and spruced up the look while I was at it 😎
