First Working Prototype Complete - Swirl Split Keyboard - Lemmy.world

It’s not done yet, but I figured I’d show off a little bit since I have been using this for a few weeks now. This is the “swirl”. It’s heavily inspired by the helix with some notable changes: - mbk Choc Spacing (Dimensions are about 12.5cm x 8.5cm on either half) - Reversible roller encoders on the top inner switch https://github.com/vmorganp/swirl [https://github.com/vmorganp/swirl]

I’ve been converted to the ortholinear layout since my EOTW Preonic, now I have that plus a Planck and a second hand Drop Preonic - but I’m interested in going to a split kb next.

This looks awesome, but may I ask - what function does the dual rollers serve? I get rotary encoders mapping to volume, but I don’t know what two would be used for.

I use one for volume and one for scrolling right now.
