. @zmk builds on GitHub Actions have always been uploading artifacts as "firmware.zip". It has always been utter annoying to me.

So I wrote a small GitHub Actions workflow to overcome this: It adds built firmware files to the release as separate files, just like QMK does:

https://github.com/Ardakilic/zmk-config/commit/0a04b0106389c2517413cfe9c695939bd17d5cf8

Example release:

https://github.com/Ardakilic/zmk-config/releases/tag/latest

Might be useful for you. It definitely will be for me :)

I wish this was in core ZMK thogh.

@AAMfP probably there’s some lead time on their pre-assembled orders. I was tempted by a few designs last time - but my first #MechanicalKeyboard turned out nicely: http://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2025/08/my-first-self-built-computer-keyboard.html

@AAMfP the Tokyo visit #MechanicalKeyboard pilgrimage - I was able to try a bunch of switches there last year and pick out a set with keycaps for my first build 👍

Seems none of the Japanese #MechanicalKeyboard community is on Mastodon? Otherwise surely #キーケット2026 or #キーケット would be showing search results… aka the Keyboard Market Tokyo (#Keyket) https://keeb-market.jp/ → https://event.keyket.jp/tokyo-2026

Your keyboard is your interface to the world.

So why settle for generic?

The compact UHK 60 is built for people who tweak, script, optimize, and never stop improving their setup.

@badnetmask I know the keyboard I want, but it seems they don't actually make it anymore.

I've got an ANSI layout Nuphy Air 60 with brown switches, and it's pretty good... not too loud, 60% size, low profile, hotswap Cherry-style switches in case I fancy a change, does multiple BlueTooth connections, has a 2.4Ghz dongle and even does USB-C wired connection!

However switching between the ANSI layout on that and ISO layouts on all my other devices is bending my brain (there is an extra key on an ISO layout, so I'm missing some punctuation that's normally easily accessible) so I want an ISO version.

Whilst they do list a UK ISO layout on some parts of their website, it's never in stock and I've never seen one on Youtube or anything. Shame as it's a reasonably dope keyboard and sensibly priced.

my dream keyboard switch would be lp/choc, clicky, 20g until operating then much heavier until bottoming out..

oh and some cool color combo.. maybe transparent purple + yellow?

one can dream right?

I got myself a new keyboard a week or two ago...

....I have recorded a typing test when I got and built the board, but decided to wait mentioning it here until I could be bothered to record a typing test in video form!
