It wasn't until this build (I've done several xswitch designs now) that I started to really like them. I love the way they feel, but they're too heavy for me to use all day. This build has been my travel board, where I'm only using a keyboard for 30-60 minutes and I love it.
I haven't personally tried, but I have heard a lot of people say that switching between isn't too bad. It can take a minute or two for the memories to come back though.
I've also heard that using different keymap layouts (ie, QWERTY vs COLEMARK) on different physical layouts. QWERTY for typical rowstag, COLEMARK for ergo.
something has changed recently that is causing lemmy.world communities to 404. Appears to have broken federation as I'm no longer getting updates on my lemmy instance.
I absolutely agree. there is someone selling the old version of etsy, so that might be a cheaper option. You could also have the old version fabricated yourself - that's probably the cheapest option (besides bodges).
I haven't yet. I'm sure I'll eventually get some, but not in a hurry to do so until keycaps are easier to get ahold of. afaik, there are a few 3d printed caps but I don't think my printer could do them.
MJF printed ChicagoSteno.
for sure. I don't know if people are doing it because it's better, or because they're trying to justify having dual trackballs.
I've seen people use one trackball for normal mouse type usage, and the other for scrolling.
I second this. I also prefer ZMK and use it on my wired boards whenever possible.
much appreciated!
I love all of these ideas!

These are the Kailh XSwitch. I haven't tried the new cherry ulp yet.

The customizer service is top notch! I love the set that I got. Good luck everyone!

Yeah.
I really only use this board when I'm out of the house, so it's gets about an hour-ish of use a week. I can confidently say "at least six hours".
not pleasant. I would not recommend actually trying to use this...

I think about this board any time I'm considering using screens in a build. the OLEDs are in such a great spot!
You can bodge a power switch onto it, or use something like my batt!pack.
Nice! has information on how to get the nice!view working on a board that has OLED support. Only requires one bodge wire. Broom made NiceHatHarry to get a nice!view onto their boards that don't have OLED support already.
