I cannot imagine using any non-standard keyboard layout in software, as opposed to just getting a board that supports QMK/VIA[L] and doing all of that in the firmware itself.

I need my keyboard to perform exactly the same in the BIOS as it does when it wants the passphrase to decrypt the disk, as it does in the TTY, as it does graphical session, as it does in the VM.

If the budget for the entire setup is already set in stone, and I have to make cuts elsewhere in order to have that, then that's exactly what I'm gonna do and I'm not gonna think twice about it.

Edit: disk not bisk…

Wanted to show my Avalanche V4 custom split keyboard. Features blank keycaps, because I can't be bothered to find a proper keycap set with uniform profile and runs QMK.

petit rappel pour les amateurs de #ClavierMecanique #Keebs #MechanicalKeyboard #DIY #OpenSource sous #QMK que j'ai toujours des PCB (et tout le hardware qui va avec, y compris des trop belles boules de billard pour la #trackball ) pour

Redox - un clavier split 70% (en filaire, 2 complets et 1 moitié pour le gaming, en bluetooth 2 complets et 1 moitié pour le gaming disponibles, les deux options avec ou sans hotswap)

Peridot - un clavier de sténo, (8 disponibles)

et la scroll ring trackball - qui est, comme son nom l'indique, une trackball avec un scroll ring. (4 disponibles)

Et toujours un set complet avec trackball et un redox filaire tilted avec case et keycaps oranges et noirs, plus les switches assortis, y a plus que les soudures à faire

TIL: When compiling QMK on gentoo, make sure to add the "vanilla" use flag when compiling arm-none-eabi-gcc otherwise your keyboard will crash after typing ~10 key strokes.

No idea how gentoo's default gcc patches managed to cause that behaviour but at least it's an easy fix lol.

I have a shiny new QMK/VIAL configurable macro pad and thanks to some magic with the compose key to work around the fact that it can't directly output Unicode, I now have the dedicated interrobang key I've wanted for years.

Cool, huh‽

OK, that's not the real reason I wanted it, but it's a huge bonus.

A neat thing that I have gotten into: QMK firmware for keyboards and mice. Enormous potential to make things more comfortable/convenient. Good normie-friendly tools in Win/MacOS. But on Linux, the attitude is still "fuck you learn to code". Doesn't help that documentation is scattered, hard to come by, and often amounts to "here's a Discord, go beg"

Genuinely annoying/exhausting
