I think your egg carton is messed up

All MJF?

I hit mine with a blow torch to melt the outside layer a bit and get it a bit glossy. Makes it a little darker but also a bit of a worn spaceship look. Love it!

Agree that ZMK is good, you using nice!nanos?

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Yup all MJF I love the look and feel. Yours looks great, I like how light this came out though. Yup ZMK with Nice Nano’s 3.5 has pointer support and a great community member just released a driver for the PMW3610

Looks like ancient space tech that still turns on. Feelin' a type of way with my prebuilt lol

I'd end up putting in on a computer with an 8k monitor that I'm only using to display 10 lines of 1 cm tall green block letters on a black background.

So it is the interface device to ancient tenchology lol

Why does this look like a Chitauri weapon??

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

lol I love the look of it, made me want to get used to 35 keys just to justify building it.

Does the trackball drain the battery fast?

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Haven’t had it long enough to test. It is the PMW3610 which is low power, I currently have the rest modes all disabled which definitely will eat battery, but I think once I rentable them and get it configured better it would be bad at all.

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ran out of battery today so central with trackball lasted almost 3 weeks. That’s work and personal use, I work from home so this keyboard does both.

[-] GSVCargoCult@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Gorgeous build! Are those DES MX caps? I wasn’t aware there was a nice nano 3.5 with pointer support? What size batteries are you using?

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yep DES, probably could have titled it better it’s using nice nano v2’s. The pointer support is being worked on zephyr 3.5 being added to ZMK, still in testing but works great. You can read about it more on ZMK’s discord they have a full pointers channel

[-] tuckerm@supermeter.social 3 points 2 years ago

Very nice! Also, I don't think I've seen a build with 3D printed keycaps before. Looks great.

[-] pixelprimer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

They feel great in MJF, I really like the texture

[-] timception@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Awesome build

[-] MachineFab812@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For some reason, I want to rub my face on them. No, I've never had that thought about keyboards as an adult, and in earlier years it would have been about napping, but this ... this belongs in a shrooms, ecstasy and textures bunker. After its found in a crashed space-ship of course.

Now, if you'll excuse me, its time for my twice-a-decade review of the fact that none of my friends has connections for ANY of those things any more, and neither do I. God I hope someone I know retires and starts(again) taking payments in drugs before my mind is gone anyways. Be nice if this fenanyl bullshit went away too. Make no mistake, none of us are squares, just old-for-millenials.

Thank you! Hats off to the designer and community support that made it possible I just assembled. It really is the coolest keyboard I have ever used though

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Looks very futuristic, and that trackball gives off among us vibes.

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
