Leo at beekeeb is awesome! I’ve been using this board for a few months now, and I’m going to test out a new USB-C variant he’s working on for connecting the halves instead of TRRS. I use a magnetic connector for the main connection; I have been doing this for a while with most of my boards and won’t look back. The layout is vanilla Miryoku which I’ve loved and have not missed the extra pinky column at all.
It’s scary at first but so liberating! I’d suggest diving into Miryoku for 36 keys- it’s so well thought out. You can change to Qwerty too if you desire.
I ended up taking the switches out completely. It’s been a few workdays and it’s a lot more comfortable to not use them.
Nice! You could print a new case and break off the outer column if you want to commit haha
