KLOR - My Travel Buddy with a fitting Sleeve - Lemmy.world

KLOR [https://github.com/GEIGEIGEIST/KLOR] is 34 keys split columnar staggered keyboard made by GEIST. I built it with Nice!Nano and without an OLED screen. Been regularly taking it with me to the office.

I have two questions:

  • How useful do you find the encoder? All the other keyboards I’ve seen with encoders seem badly placed, but is yours close enough to the resting thumb position that you can use it without moving from the home row?
  • Where did you get the carrying case? I’ve got a corne, but really just leave it at home and use the laptop keyboard when I’m elsewhere because I don’t like just leaving it loose in my bag.

    Thanks for your questions:

  • The encoder is indeed placed in a way that allows my finger to not move away from the home row and use my thumbs to navigate the knob.
  • I got the custom carrying sleeve from Mechfashion from a small private group buy we did. But not sure if the owner still offers customized keyboard sleeves. The domain and business was moved to deskpads. The sleeve provides enough cushion and protection to give me some peace of mind when throwing it in my bag.
