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

It’s a great first build and first ergo. That was my experience as well. Good luck! Shoot me a dm if that is a thing on lemmy and I’d be happy to help you, discord as well if that’s better 👍

Looks amazing! How did you get it? Did you buy it all set or you built it yourself?

BTW, what are these keycaps?

Built it, it’s a cheap diy option called the Cheapino https://github.com/tompi/cheapino

Pretty affordable option though at low key count you could likely get a better build for a similar cost. Keycaps are whatever cheap aliexpress I could find hahaha.

Doing it again I’d go for the badwings that Hazel just posted here

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.

Create post

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.
