This comment is quite the rabbit hole for a solar storm

At least it’s usable. My last pcb I screwed up the gaetreon holes completely. Why do they make key switches so obnoxious.

The CIA has an internship program for college grads

Every 5th grader I know has a phone (I’m a parent not a creeper). So it’s not just the rich and stupid. Cell network companies give these things away under 2 year plans that most can afford. And it’s not just two year plans, my kids have $50 phones from Motorola that are +6". I think most people like a big phone and it’s only us few that want to see sub 5" phones.

Good ole central eastern southern time

I think I’m going to try 3d printing an ergogen case with the keys extruded to check the layout before committing on my next keyboard

This was a fatal flaw that I didn’t realize until I had ordered the PCB. You’re right, the pinky has two columns, which isn’t as bad as you’d expect.

I still home row on asrt, which I’m really starting to enjoy. I need homing nubs on the keys and I tend to miss click on the top pinky

I think the hardest was the firmware. Everything else was integration

Well, I had intended to have my pinkies rest on the outside of the board for a traditional keyboard feel, but I screwed up and my indexes are now on the inner columns.

You also don’t have a real feel for spread or stagger until you put it all together.

I tried regular key caps but they’re too big, and if you’re looking for a modified key layout most key cap sets are saddled and curved.

So, that being said, low profile switches and key caps is the way to go. It also helps to know the difference between mx, kahli, and gateron keys

This is wild, nice job!

Never heard it before, don’t want too

I feel like the Reddit migration is really putting the protocol to the test. There’s no load balancing so if your instance goes down you’re kinda screwed
