I previously posted my custom layout keyboard which I use at home. I got fed up of the different layout at work so I made the same thing to have consistency. Really happy with the result. I'm trying to set up macros now to make annoying tasks at work faster.

Is that the spongebob font?

Don't know, but I'll be even happier with it if that's true ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm guessing right of the right shift.

[โ€“] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Yup. Tapping is up and holding the button is shift.

Ooohh. Is that three space bar keys?

[โ€“] cRazi_man@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Split space bar was mostly the point of this (and also split backspace, split right shift and an added key at the bottom right). I only ever use my right thumb for space so the left key is backspace and the middle key is an additional function layer.

Oh yea, Iโ€™m there with you. Iโ€™ve got a two space bar keyboard and use the left side as the a mod key that provides a whole keyboard of custom macros and has completely changed my keyboard. It totally through me down the custom keyboard rabbit hole. I would have fallen in if I had the funds for it, but alas it will have to wait!

This is really cool but the caps definitely need the NASA font.

[โ€“] herrherrmann@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

Cute! And the typeface matches the space theme very nicely.

Gateron Yellow lubricated switches. YMDK PCB, case and backplate. Ali Express keycaps and PCB foam. All in probably close to ยฃ130.
