I find it alright for quick mouse movement using my index finger. As main I prefer a thumb trackball.

With the default keymap the farthest thumb keys change layers.

It has 58 keys, so it's getting close 😄

It is! You can perform a click with it, but won't "feel" the click, since there is no haptic feedback module, which the steam controller has.

It's a split keyboard so you can rotate the two halves and put them further apart as you like. I noticed there was some confusion about how the keyboard should be orientated 😅

I commented another picture with how it would sit on the desk.

Thanks! Yes it is!

Thanks! This was actually the only keycaps set I had laying around that wasn't in use 😄 But I'm a Colemak user myself, so 90% of the caps usually don't match my layout anyway and I never look at the keys. That said, I'm thinking about replacing the caps with a uniform XDA set (the current set is NP-profile) with labels.

I do have multiple keyboards, but I'll try this one out for gaming, since it has a num row which most of my other boards haven't.

This will be for sale very soon, it's not listed yet, I was just able to get it a bit sooner 😄

The Elora is also undergoing the last few steps before going for sale, I'm also waiting for it and can't wait to try out the module system!

The 4 keys next to each other are the thumb keys, so the keyboard would sit like this on the desk.

Oh no, the red cable is actually facing away from you when using it. I guess I shouldn't have taken these pictures at these angles 😅

They're two separate halves, when using it you'll put them further apart from each other..

It isn't wireless. I'm not sure how the wires would end up in your lap when the keyboard is on your desk.

Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.

I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.

 

Ximi:

  • integrated RP2040 controllers
  • left Cirque trackpad
  • right trackball (golden trackball from Perixx)
  • dual rotary encoders
  • dual haptic feedback
  • audio buzzer
  • 3 way thumb switches
  • Gazzew U4 switches
  • MT3 Pulse keycaps
  • MJF nylon case printed by JLCPCB
