Long shot I guess but anyone here use an ergodox while also being Nordic/using a layout similar to nordic? There's one in the qmk repo but it's for an 80 button variant and mine is 76, so using something else as a starting point would be easier.

I built my GF a basic board with this + Gateron Browns and a knockoff matcha-themed key cap set, it turned out great

I don't know if this belongs in the keyboard thread but despite learning to touch type in 1993 I just realised the position of my right pinky on the home row is such a darn waste. I don't often use : or ;.

Yeah, CIY/Zuoya boards are pretty hard to beat in terms of value, and they seem to stay on the cutting edge of features like foam or silicone padding. About the only thing they don't offer are aluminum cases or QMK/VIA support, aside from the LMK67. Protip: they're more like $45 if you're willing to wait for the slow boat from China.

Is there a keyboard equivalent to "X-Mouse Button Control" for keyboard? i.e. if i'm in WhateverApp, i want key X to do Y, but if i'm in WhateverApp2, i want key X to do Z, and it should do this seamlessly. Basically, i have 4 extra macro keys on my Q3 Pro SE and i was hoping to map them to f13/14/15/16 and then use this theoretical app to make them do different things depending on what game i'm in. Edit: it looks like HotkeyP might do what i want, but it's very clunky. Deviant fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Oct 5, 2023 |

Before people can make recommendations, are you ok with DIY solder kits or do you want prebuilt? That factors heavily into the price.

If you don't mind soldering, then maybe a lily58 or a solfie58, depending how many keys you need on the thumb cluster. Other than that I think the Iris could also be a good rec - if you can't be hosed to solder, there is a pre-build builder that will let you pick option but will still run you half the price of the Ergodox. Maybe other people would have better / more suggestions than I do, most split keyboards I can think of are ortholinear, personally...

Saukkis posted:For clarification, is orthogonal acceptable, you draw the line at ortholinear? I like the style and customization the orthodox setup looks to provide, but I've been using a staggered keyboard setup for over 40 years now. Stubborn probably, but I don't want to re-learn to type on an ortholinear layout plus adjust to a full split, possibly with thumb clusters on top of that.

Sounds like a basic split then, maybe? I think the Kinesis freestyle is that for about a hundred bucks: https://kinesis-ergo.com/keyboards/freestyle2-keyboard/ Haven't used it myself.

Why do you want a split keyboard BTW? Part of the appeal of a split is that you can tent the halves and reduce wrist pronation. It's going to be more hassle to tent a full size, staggered layout

People posted good options above but yeah if staggered is your pick of choice then that does severely limit your options of split keyboards. I gave mostly recs that were orthogonal because they simply weren't orthoLINEAR (because my mind equates split orthogonal as staggered please do not ask me how that works) I will say that you lose a big chunk of the customization aspect if using a basic split staggered though, such as tenting, or having a more custom key layout that you make yourself (which I mean you can but you're using a staggered 60+ key split keyboard, what key customization would one even need from that?)

Appreciate the replies. I'll give those some serious looks, and even see if switching to an ortholinear is something that I could adjust to (yes, I could) in spite of my stubbornness.

It's understandable to stick to the familiar, but also are you planning to end it here or take further steps later. The question is whether it would be better to take small steps or do a one big adjustment. I've been using Ergodox EZ for a year and a half. I started with QWERTY but in less than a week a switched to a heavily customized layout with no resemblance to QWERTY. And then I continued modifying it, swapping letters and doing other changes, whatever felt more convenient. I am at over 20th revision at this point and I wish I could have jumped here immediately without having to do the constant readjustment. But the one conclusion I have reached is that the standard layout is loving stupid. This was highlighted when I recently tried Keychron V8 with Alice layout that tries to be a compromise between standard keyboard and split. For me it somehow felt worse than standard. Also my laptop keyboard feels especially hateful and there's not much better solution than minimize typing on it.
