• Zoom65 EE with case and PCB foam
  • GMK WoB
  • AEBoards Naevies V2 stock

This is my sixth keyboard (fourth custom). The experience has been extremely good considering the mostly stock setup.

Though I am going to stick with this for a while, I do know my next will be a split ergo. Do share your suggestions for a wireless split ergo.

    That wrist rest is amazing! I mean, obviously the keeb is nice, but that wrist rest…

      Haha. I agree. Orca’s wrist rest elevates even the most boring setups.

        I agree! Right now, I have an old 80s computer drawer, which I use for my monitor and the keyboard. It’s definitely not “pretty”, but I love the antique look. I’ll try to post a picture later.

          I look forward to the picture of your setup. :-)

            Once I get home, I’ll snap and post. I’ll let you know here that I posted it, so it doesn’t get missed haha

            Fair warning, my kb isn’t super special, but it’s super comfortable to type on.

              There are very few objectively good things in this hobby, as everything boils down to preference.

              If your keyboard is super comfortable, then it is ticking the right boxes. :-)

              I am unable to engage there. It is asking me to log in.

              Regardless, the C1 is a great choice. With the modification you made, I can see it being super comfortable to type on. :-)

              I will see if I can post a few questions in your post about the Glove80.

    i’ve got a split ortho keyboard called corne (you can check my post history for assembly and final result pics), and for a split ergonomic keyboard i’d strongly recommend going for a wireless version (if available) and i wouldn’t recommend ortho layout unless you’re super committed (if you ever type on smth like a laptop, switch back and forth between ortho and non-ortho is a huge pain, while switching between split and non-split is perfectly fine)

      You bring up the right concerns.

      I am aware of the pains with switching to an ortholinear layout, and have experienced it when I briefly used a friend’s Sofle. Unfortunately, most of the open source designs are ortholinear.

      A layout similar to Corne is what I have in mind as well as I hope to reuse most of my existing keycap sets.

      Thank you. I was aiming for a clean and minimal aesthetic with the setup.

      I plan to post my entire desk setup on a relevant community. I am not sure if there is a community yet to share desk setups similar to the battlestation subreddit.

        Have you found any battlestation subs on lemmy or kbin yet?

          I haven’t found an active one yet. Have you?

          I may try posting in one of the dormant ones.

        I use a laptop with the stock keyboard. Which I realise is probably sacrilegious here.

            Just came across it on all, honestly. While I love the idea of the hobby I don’t type anywhere near enough to make it worth it

    Ooh, that’s clean!

    What’s the ‘00’ key for? Layer or just two zeroes?

    • @AusatKeyboardPremiOP

      Thanks.

      Yes, I do use it to switch layers.

      Having said that, it would be pretty fun if it just inserted two zeroes. :D

    Forgot to mention the two accessories in the picture.

    • Orca’s wooden wrist rest
    • Zambumon’s hexagon desk pad

      Yeah, those are doing some heavy lifting for the aesthetic here.

      I remember looking for a wrist rest a bit back, but it was hard to find something that was a combination of:

      • Affordable
      • Real wood (not epoxy)
      • Didn’t scream it’s branding

      This one is real sleek.

        Real wood and absence of/minimal branding is what I was looking for too for the aesthetic I was aiming.

        I can say the wood’s finishing has aged really well over the three or so years of use.

        No problem. Glad I could help, and induce some engagement within the community. :-)

        Look forward to a post of your setup/experience with the hobby.

      I have mentioned about the wrist rest in another comment of mine here. I bought it on Etsy.

      As for your other question, I have not noticed any warping in the board in my 3 years of use.
