Started having some pain after days of work + evenings of gaming, so I decided to get an ergonomic keyboard.
- Board: Corne Choc wireless from Typeractive
- Switches: Ambients Silent Choc Switches 20 g linear Nocturnal from lowprokb
- Keycaps: MBK Low Profile PBT from lowprokb
- Controllers: Supermini NRF52840 from Aliexpress
- Tenting: Magsafe metal rings and phone holders from Aliexpress
- Solar panels: Ixolar panels that are nearly the exact same size as the keyboard controllers from Digikey
- Solar harverters: Solar harvester for Li-ion batteries on Tindie
It tents:
It sticks together:
All thanks to Magsafe rings and small magnets on the bottom:
And if I ever want to Switch up the color scheme:

You must love licorice lol. Love the look and the MagSafe was a clever design

Look if you never get the urge to take a bite of your keyboard when hungry what are you even doing

Ooooh, i really like the magsafe idea. Seems like a more versatile version of the tenting puck.

Nice. I have a very similar setup, though I drop the outside column.
I have several crkbds but I kinda regret buying the Typeractive one. It’s fine but they don’t provide modeling files or kicad references which makes building a custom case and switch plate way way harder than a crkbd off the main repo.

Are solar panels effective at all for charging the batteries?
Yoddel_Hickory@piefed.ca · 2 pts · 196d
Not really! Especially not inside. And it is more covenient to plug them to a charger overnight than to let them on the windowsill.
But they are pretty and could be useful in a bind.

Super interested in the Corne layouts but I've been unemployed for a little bit so my budget is approximately $0. Anyway it's super pretty and very inventive so I'm gonna favourite and forget this.
