Finished my new keyboard! it’s an evolution of my old keyboard with some function keys and media keys moved to the top right so I stop pressing mute instead of ctrl! It is a little taller than I like but the design I layered so I think I can shave off at least 5mm without too much hassle (probably more!)

This is the oddest #KeyboardLayout I've seen in quite a while: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/01/20/bandit-pc32-standalone-colorforth-keyboard-computer-is-powered-by-the-raspberry-pi-rp2350-microcontroller/

And yes, the #OrtholinearKeyboard of that small #handheld computer seems to be a #MechanicalKeyboard, they say it has #Kailh Brown switches, seemingly MX compatible.

Moving around the O and especially the P and L key reminds me of the #keyboard layout of the #Enigma, also because I also already was experimenting with such layouts: https://github.com/xtaran/XTK/blob/master/Painigma27.md

I’m trying out my first “ergonomic” keyboard. My Dygma Defy showed up earlier today. It is very weird to type on this thing. In the default layout, the keys are roughly where they should be, but of course are not exactly where they should be. The hardest key so far is not space as I expected, but the keys on the left-hand bottom row. XCVB are really hard to land on without landing on two of them at once. Or in the case of B, nothing at all.

I do really like the “split-ness” of it. Placing it at shoulder width right at the edge of the desk is really comfortable. I probably should have gotten the tenting version, but I figured this would be enough of a change to start with. I was right.
