Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

i have a moonlander, it's pretty nice, i haven't taken it out of its nice included neoprene case in a while because I have been crunching a bit and I have it set up for Colemak, which is really fun to type and a lot more accurate but still involves a certain amount of mental headroom that I haven't had the space for at this stage of learning

i have a unicomp model m and a WASD v2 with clears, both perfectly fine but now I want another one. i think i have an illness. i kind of want a new one with maybe blue switches or something else with a nice heavy clicky-clacky keypress

Switching from the typewriter to the mechanical keyboard I have for the computer, I realize I'm really hammering down on the keys way more. Gotta be exact and powerful on the typewriter for it to look decent

I strongly recommend you play with the Oryx configurator (layers are a blessing) and that you start with the vertical staggering if you're not yet without any tenting, then add in the tenting once you're used to the new positions of the keys. I made the mistake of trying to do it all at once and it was a struggle until the steps were broken down. Took a good three weeks to adjust but there isn't a single day my wrists aren't thanking me.

going to make a keyboard that is comprised of 2 h gated manual gearbox shifters, each side will have hi/lo range selector also to get enough key combinations. push in clutch to make a key combo and release to type it. if u drop the clutch ur computer crashes

finished! screw modded and recycled the toggle switches to activate layers and / or reset the keyboard. the pico fit behind the toggle switches. need to figure out a neater way to hide the ribbon breakouts but so far it all works.


the three layers (using KMK) so far:



can toggle layers intermittently using the first column of keys or permanently using the toggle switches.

no diodes in the original membranes so there’s some minor ghosting and glitching with some key combos, but for a holiday break project I’m happy with how it came out.

ok i made a mouse jiggler for keyboards running qmk. i can't install software on my work pc, and i don't want a purchased mouse jiggler showing up as "USB Mouse Jiggler" or whatever whnn i plug it in, so i use my keyboard

pressing a key toggles JIGGLE MODE between on and off.

shamelessly stole the mouse jiggling bhevaiour itself from this guy: https://github.com/DIYCharles/MouseJiggler

i've done almost no work all week and no-one has said anything lmao. i've cleaned the house, done some gardening, read a couple books.

code:

// Add the "JIGGLE" keycode to the list of custom keycodes
enum custom_keycodes {
  QWERTY = SAFE_RANGE,
  NUMPAD,
  LOWER,
  RAISE,
  ADJUST,
  JIGGLE
};

// Put the "JIGGLE" keycode somewhere on your layout, you choose where. 
// In my case I put it on the ADJUST layer

// We'll use this variable to track whether the jiggle is on or off
bool mouse_jiggle_mode = false;

// This is the desired jiggling behaviour, the mouse and scroll wheel move 
void matrix_scan_user(void) {
  if (mouse_jiggle_mode) {
    tap_code(KC_MS_UP);
    tap_code(KC_MS_DOWN);
    tap_code(KC_MS_LEFT);
    tap_code(KC_MS_RIGHT);
    tap_code(KC_MS_WH_UP);
    tap_code(KC_MS_WH_DOWN);
  } else {
 }
}

/* at the end of your keymap file you'll find a switch statement that handles different layers. add this case block to the switch statement. it toggles the mouse jiggle mode on and off */
    case JIGGLE:
      if (record->event.pressed) {
        if (mouse_jiggle_mode == false) {
	  mouse_jiggle_mode = true;
	  return false;
	}
	if (mouse_jiggle_mode == true) {
	  mouse_jiggle_mode = false;
	  return false;
	}
      } 
      return false;
      break;
