Model: Planck Switches: Cherry MX Blue
This looks so inconvenient. Glad you like it, but this is 'awful taste, great execution" for me.
I’ll make it even worse for you… It’s setup for Dvorak.
Well that’s just sensible unlike the rest
Possibly the only good thing about this lol
Wow, when I first opened the image it was squished to 50% width, each key looked like a piano key. That was a real wtf moment.
Beautiful looking keyboard
I love it, exactly what I want to build
Serious question: How do you type on flat profile without having your hands hurt? I could never get use to flat keys and spherical work the best.
Not OP, but I also use flat keycaps, so I thought I’d chime in. I’m not really sure why your hands would hurt with flat keycaps, but one of the reasons I chose to use flats were to allow for easier chording with Plover.
I don’t know how to answer you exactly. My hands don’t hurt. Maybe it’s because of the combo of the ortholinear keyboard and the Dvorak layout causing me to move my fingers minimally.
Has a 3d printed feel from the photo. Did you make the whole thing, case, pcb, keycaps?
No, the keyboard is a kit you can get on Amazon, or Mass Drop. The keycaps were novelty caps from Pimp My Keyboard.
Looks nice! I daily drove something like this for a couple of years, then transitioned to a split ortholinear layout, so a bit different but pretty much the same thing.
I want to move on to a split ortholinear too
Like the look. I really want to give ortho a try one day. On some level, it is what keyboards should have been all along. The current shifted design was just due to technical limitations, where you needed to shift the keys to make sure old type writers could work. This day and age, it’s just a historical holdover.
Hot swappable? I’m wondering if the sockets are what make the keys sit slightly off square and even, couldn’t be the key caps could it?
