Tweaking Switch Weight for Home Row Mods

Using Home Row mods was always a challenge for me. When trying Home Row Mods on QMK-based keyboards, the problem was always timing and chords. Sadly, chords are an all-or-nothing feature unless you invest in building custom functions in the firmware, something I have yet to get into. However, the story on ZMK keyboards is very different. The behaviours in ZMK allow for greater flexibility with keyboard setup, albeit with increased complexity, at least for those just starting out. Equipped […]

Your keyboard was designed for a typewriter. Your hands were not.
Designed by doctors, the TAIKO-01 is split, curved, and tilted to match how your hands actually work. Launching on Kickstarter soon.

@vavakado for my #KeyboardLayout I'm using a variant of #HandsDownPromethium https://www.reddit.com/r/KeyboardLayouts/comments/1g66ivi/hands_down_promethium_snth_meets_hd_silverengram/ (which has a vim cursor cluster but I rarely use it), and the modal #HelixEditor in the terminal. I picked it as I wanted to try a letter on a thumb key (#ErgoKeyboard), and it scored well on various metrics (and was the new hotness at the time).

Split Keyboards

When someone offers you a split ergonomic keyboard, it is important to politely, but firmly decline.

Once you get exposed to these keyboards, they will forever spoil traditional rectangular keyboards for you. You will never be the same.

Save yourself! You have been warned!

Tiny Keyboards Layout

I was a huge fan of #Miryoku. It feels so ergonomic and logical that I “mastered” it in a matter of minutes.

But Miryoku has a fatal flaw. Using Modifier + Letter/Number + Nav button is impossible without very custom mappings.

I am trialling a slightly modified RSTA layout on a 3w6 #ergokeyboard starting. It does everything but feels less ergonomic.

Pros:

  • No home-row mods;
    • fewer misfires.
  • So far every combination is reachable.

Cons:

  • No Home Row Mods;
    • once you master Home Row Mods and learn to respect the delay, they become like pure magic, and you wonder how you could have lived without them.
  • Position of Ctrl, Enter and Backspace makes it a pinky heavy layout
    • this I will have to tweak as an appeal of smaller ergonomic keyboards is focus on thumbs, rather than on the pinky.

The ergo-journey continues.
