Thanks! Have fun tinkering once you get the boards 😁

Btw your work on Cheapino is awesome! Made me aware of other matrix scanning methods. I’ve been trying to do round-robin matrix scanning on FAK and so far looks like it’s working well

This. I like my space on the middle right thumb key

Well, there are many ways to do that. It’s kind of a rabbit hole on its own. For me, I prefer layers to combos to access special keys like symbols, numbers, and function keys.

If you meant modifiers like Ctrl and Shift, I use home row mods. I also started with 40+ keys like a Piantor and swore I would never like home row mods, but ended up loving them after trying it.

Anyway, layers feel pretty intuitive to me. What do you think is making layers not easy for you?

Coming from daily-driving a Klor, it’s a very natural transition. I can touch type on it mostly fine. Ergonomics is insane. All the keys feel much closer and way easier to reach. I miss the splay on the Klor though since I’ve come to like it.

It’s 8051

Thanks! Plate is aluminum. I brushed it with sandpaper and applied some metal polish for a shiny brushed look.

I got the case from JLCPCB with their cheapest resin (8111X). Got it for only one dollar including shipping lol thanks to the $7 coupon you can get from sharing 3D models. Out of the box, fairly sturdy. It was semi-translucent white but a bit yellowish and ugly, so I spray painted it.
