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

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

No Buy/Sell/Trade

To celebrate the launch of c/emk on Lemmy, we have decided to give away a custom keycaps set to the new community's members!

How to participate?

  • Create your dream custom keycap set on fkcaps.com/custom (any profile/layout is allowed)
  • At the very last step called "Summary", click "Save for later" (or buy it, you'll be refunded if you win)
  • Copy the 6 characters code given, and paste it in a (top level) comment below

🚀 LET'S GO!

We are looking forward to see the custom sets you'll come up with! If you have any questions or comments, let us know!

FAQ

  • How will you pick the winner?

We'll use an online randomizer altogether with obosob (community mod). First code pulled wins!

  • Can I make any layout or does it have to be ergo?

Any layout is can win this giveaway, but you know where our heart is!

  • Which keycap profile is allowed?

All keycap profiles are allowed. We currently have DSA, MDA, Cherry and MBK. If you have profile requests, submit a feature request

  • How many keys can I include in my custom layout?

There is no hard limit, but for the sake of it, let's say 200 keys max 😉

Winner

Congrats to @[email protected] your set has been drawn and will be sent to you for free! I have also sent coupons to all other participants, I hope you have enjoyed testing the app as much as I did enjoy looking at your sets!

FYI I did the draw and sent a video to OBOSOB (mod of this sub) to show it's been done in good faith!

1DPXQQ this my code tho ill need some extra added things (i added a numrow to teh kyria so i can use this for my elora when it comes)

[–] fkcaps 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

alright! you may want to customize this num row then don't you? also beware that some legends sometimes are too big for the key (Caps Lock / Backspace) so you'd want to fix that too

To edit your set to make those changes:

  • Go to your creations using this link, or by clicking the user icon in the top right
  • Click the set you want to edit
  • Click the “customize” button
  • Update the code in your comment

[–] fkcaps 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
