Before opening up or resoldering any switches, I’d short the two pins with something (tweasers or similar) to confirm or rule out the switch itself as the cause.
They don’t, officially, as far as I know it’s always been an “at your own risk, might get your account banned” endeavor.
No, problem not solved, problem half-heartedly worked around. People dislike Discord for several reasons, bridging it to whatever different platform will at best be a bandaid.
That looks great! How do you like the melodics?
Just looking at it makes me wonder why you’d consider the thumb placement that strange (although all hands are different and all that). What was off about it for you?
I’m actually still on my first ergo, a Lily58 (my first mechanical was a “regular” 75%). I was a bit on the fence between this and the Corne, and I think I would’ve been fine going with the Corne; I barely used the numrow and currently it’s not even mapped, and I’m experimenting with putting the things I had left on the outer columns on layers or combos.
But regret… no, of course not. It’s been a great learning experience so far!
I’ll certainly build more boards at some point, at least a Corne because, well, gotta build a Corne, but maybe some other things as well. Maybe a Charybdis or a Cygnus or something like that.
Muscle memory needs some time, especially for symbol stuff. Don’t hesitate to tweak your mappings, I’ve made some changes at some point which made things a whole lot more workable. I started with Miryoku which was completely unsuitable for the PHP work I was doing back then, to mention something, and moving the number cluster to the right hand rather than left did miracles for my day to day work as well.
I code with it, yeah. Just have those symbols wherever you want them (I never used those inner upper keys either, except for things that I don’t mind lifting my hand for). Layers layers layers. Also home row mods.
For my next board, I’m probably going with a 6×3+3, I don’t use the number row either. Keypad on a layer under the right hand is so much nicer…
Eh, the split part is easy, it’s the lack of row stagger that’s going to trip you up for at least a couple of days.
You do get used to it, though, and after that a “normal” keyboard will feel as weird as it actually is, when you think about it.
ascetics
I think you mean “aesthetics”, an ascetic is something quite different. 😛
Why not make a “game” layer that doesn’t get in your game-playing way, and have mod-taps on the rest? (as far as they don’t interfere with the chords, of course)
Sure! I have several:
I have two control keys! They’re under D and K, through the miracle of mod-tap. Look into home row mods, it’s a game changer. Here’s my keymap for reference — it’s a bit of a work in progress, I keep finding little things to tweak or improve.
As it stands, the two outer thumbs (App/Alt) aren’t even mapped at the moment, they’re too tucky for my hands, and the outer row on the left isn’t exactly what the cap legends say, either.
They’re more ergo than a regular keyboard, I think, so personally I’m fine with it.
What are we looking at? Do share some specs!
Oh, that is glorious.
If there’s a next time, I’ll use two MCUs and a TRRS like a normal weirdo.
Go RJ45 or go home! ;) With a Japanese duplex matrix you should have plenty of wires to have that layout working, I think. And if you go with two MCUs it’s even less of an issue.
Fun writeup, and you ended up with a functioning keyboard as a bonus! How’s the double row of thumb keys working out for you? Or do you only use your thumbs for the lower two and index/middle for the other ones, or…? I’ve never tried a board with two rows of thumb keys and somehow I don’t see myself liking them, but I see them around enough to give me FOMO.
These tips are all solid, and reflect my setup. Database (MariaDB) and PHP files on the SSD, data storage on spinny bois. Don’t underestimate the importance of a recent enough version of PHP, OpCache, enabled, and so on.
There’s a whole chapter on performance tuning in the manual, and the “Security & setup warnings” part of the administration settings should point out some configuration issues, when it finds them.
My setup might actually take a (smallish) performance hit because I use btrfs for all my filesystems. Just don’t get roped into the whole “wsl on Windows” thing, that’s just not going to work out, it’s a kludge that MS offers to not bleed users to Linux too much, but it’s certainly not meant for server workloads.
The hardware should not be the bottleneck at all, the 1265 in OPs machine should not be significantly slower than the 1280 in mine.
Eh, my gen8 is chugging happily along with Nextcloud, Synapse, Jellyfin and friends, docker-mailserver, a GoToSocial instance, Home Assistant in a VM, and so on. I don’t know what else is running on your server (and, admittedly, I’ve added some RAM and stuck in a somewhat beefier Xeon CPU), but it should have no problems running a web app like Nextcloud, especially if you stay away from the more intensive stuff like office apps.
That aside, I’ve gone through a fair amount of note taking apps, and so far I like Joplin best, too bad it doesn’t seem to work out for you. Not sure when you last checked out the Android app, but I do know there’s been some changes in the editor it uses recently-ish, it might be worth it to check again.
For QMK, my go-to hrm-embetterment came from Achordion. Not sure if that helps OP, but it made hrm amazing for me, and it does the sort of timing tweaks that might help here.
Otherwise, the HOLD_ON_OTHER_KEY_PRESS mode might help.
