Could you share your keymap for the qaz boards? I'm curious to see what those look like

Here's the map I've been using for the past month or so. I use pretty much the same layout minus the macro keys on the Vault 35.

I also have used this unhinged map and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. It's the default map that I wrote for the firmware.

And then I started trying out this gaming layer on the Vault last week. Still getting used to it.

So few f keys mapped :O

Have you looked into home row mods at all? I find them quite nice to use once you get used to them.

Edit: wtf is that second keymap LOL

That, my friend, is the keymap of the future.

I haven't tried home row mods, but I really should. I use a Mac most of the time, so most of the stuff I would do with F keys is just mapped to media controls on the third layer. I've barely even used any of the QAZ boards on Windows since I pretty much only use W for gaming.
