Tern, 30-key Hummingbird variant

Tern, 30-key Hummingbird variant - Lemmy.world

I just finished this fun little keeb which I based off the Hummingbird, but I made it hot swappable, dropped the pinkies down more, made the thumbs more reachy, and spaced it for Chosfox CFX keycaps (tighter than standard Choc spacing). It has a top plate and sound-dampening silicone gasket, as well as foam on the backside of the PCB. Everything is open sourced on my github [https://github.com/rschenk/tern] tern top [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f4e09f2b-8514-451c-a307-71ed09e2d766.jpeg] tern quarter view [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/dfffe8ac-da2c-44b1-b829-39a99f59833c.jpeg] tern bottom [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/bed6d33d-a8ca-4062-9170-59c34526cc91.jpeg]

I guess this relies heavily on home row mods?

So far I’ve never had a clean typing experience with home row mods 😢

I love them, I just keep getting accidental triggers no matter what configuration I use. And eventually I have to disable them.

Would love to have them work perfectly but maybe that’s just not possible due to just… That’s how it is

I use a 30 key keyboard and do not use homerow mods. It is definitely possible. I use mods on a layer. Callum (sticky) style mods on a layer are also an option. You can see my layout here: github.com/jcmkk3/zmk-config
