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.

    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.

        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

      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.
