for sure. I don’t know if people are doing it because it’s better, or because they’re trying to justify having dual trackballs.
I’ve seen people use one trackball for normal mouse type usage, and the other for scrolling.
I second this. I also prefer ZMK and use it on my wired boards whenever possible.
These are the Kailh XSwitch. I haven’t tried the new cherry ulp yet.
I haven’t personally tried, but I have heard a lot of people say that switching between isn’t too bad. It can take a minute or two for the memories to come back though.
I’ve also heard that using different keymap layouts (ie, QWERTY vs COLEMARK) on different physical layouts. QWERTY for typical rowstag, COLEMARK for ergo.
I really only use this board when I’m out of the house, so it’s gets about an hour-ish of use a week. I can confidently say “at least six hours”.
not pleasant. I would not recommend actually trying to use this…
I absolutely agree. there is someone selling the old version of etsy, so that might be a cheaper option. You could also have the old version fabricated yourself - that’s probably the cheapest option (besides bodges).
I think about this board any time I’m considering using screens in a build. the OLEDs are in such a great spot!
You can bodge a power switch onto it, or use something like my batt!pack.
Nice! has information on how to get the nice!view working on a board that has OLED support. Only requires one bodge wire. Broom made NiceHatHarry to get a nice!view onto their boards that don’t have OLED support already.
I haven’t yet. I’m sure I’ll eventually get some, but not in a hurry to do so until keycaps are easier to get ahold of. afaik, there are a few 3d printed caps but I don’t think my printer could do them.
There are some low profile tripod stands. the manfrotto MP3-BK is nice, but pretty expensive. There are also a bunch of “Z Tripods” that get used a lot.
A 3d printed case for tenting is definitely an option, but it can take a while to find the right tenting angle so be prepared to possible print multiple variations.
