Looking good! I ordered 2 ch55 boards when i saw your fak announcement. I like the idea of minimalism taken all the way!

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

Am I missing something? Where’s the space bar?

What do you need a space bar for?

The letters printed on the keys don’t control what they do. You can change what they independently of what is written on them

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

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.

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
