Testing out Lemmy, but also posting the wireless Ergolite I just got setup, using some off the shelf laptop risers as a simple tenting kit. Works... surprisingly well. Though the furthest thumb key on both halves doesn't seem to work...

Where did you get the keycaps and are they using MX stem?

[-] mmasnick@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Keycaps are from Nuphy. Using Gateron low-pro switches, which I think are compatible with standard Cherry MX switches...

I never realized nuphy sells keycaps separately, thanks for the tip!

Not only do they, they're relatively inexpensive (compared to some other keycap offerings...) and they seem to have sales every so often too.

Looks great! Which switches are you using in there?

[-] mmasnick@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

Gateron low profile switches... which seem (slightly) better than chocs for low profile switches. Also, I think that the Gateron low profile switches work fine in MX hotswap sockets.

I love the keycap with the 🐳!

This keycap set is wonderful.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
