Nocturnals were actually my first choc I knew they were coming and waited. That being said they are great, very quiet, satisfying to type on and have better tolerances than standard chocs leading to less stem wobble. Out of choc and MX ambients are genuinely one of my favourite if not favourite switch. Definitely recommend, especially if you need the silence. I work from home so that’s not an issue for me but still a nice bonus.

If you like the weight and feel of sunsets, the sunrise switches are coming soon which will be silent tactiles and is aiming for the same feel.

I think it was too small for them hahah. But they liked the split and programmability. I think they are looking at buying a voyager.

I may or may not like ever smaller unibody keyboards. Grumpy is next then hopefully a 26 key.

Hahah. Layers and combos. You can see a few people’s layouts on 30 key boards at the keymap db website. What’s even better is I actually don’t even use all the keys lol. https://keymapdb.com/

80wpm usually but I’ve hit 100 when I am being a try-hard hahaha. Swapped to aptmak a few days ago so I am back to 40-50 wpm now while I get used to the new layout.

Middle and pointer fingers for sure. Used thumb trackballs for 17 years and now my thumb is starting to hurt. More accurate as well I find

You can get the PCB from JLC https://github.com/jcmkk3/trochilidae

I’ve also got 3 pcbs left I’d give away for the cost of shipping Australia. Last I checked it was 15 usd to the US

Modded Colemak dh with v z j on combo for the past months. But I am building a zilpzalp soon and took the leap to aptmak this weekend. Only 3 days in though.

Less keys = better right?

 

End game lol. Fun build, working great so far! ZMK is really nice

 

As if Ergomechkeyboards needs more Cheapino’s. I had my spare parts laying around and built this for a friend. Thought I’d share a quick photo. Still love this project
