Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid

No Spam

No excessive posting/"shilling" for commercial purposes. Vendors are permitted to promote their products/services but keep it to a minimum and use the [vendor] flair. Posts that appear to be marketing without being transparent about it will be removed.

No Buy/Sell/Trade

To celebrate the launch of c/emk on Lemmy, we have decided to give away a custom keycaps set to the new community's members!

How to participate?

  • Create your dream custom keycap set on fkcaps.com/custom (any profile/layout is allowed)
  • At the very last step called "Summary", click "Save for later" (or buy it, you'll be refunded if you win)
  • Copy the 6 characters code given, and paste it in a (top level) comment below

🚀 LET'S GO!

Requirements

  • Be a Lemmy community member
  • Have an account on FK (you will be prompted for your email when "saving for later")

We are looking forward to see the custom sets you'll come up with! If you have any questions or comments, let us know!

FAQ

  • How will you pick the winner?

We'll use an online randomizer altogether with obosob (community mod). First code pulled wins!

  • Can I make any layout or does it have to be ergo?

Any layout is can win this giveaway, but you know where our heart is!

  • Which keycap profile is allowed?

All keycap profiles are allowed. We currently have DSA, MDA, Cherry and MBK. If you have profile requests, submit a feature request

  • How many keys can I include in my custom layout?

There is no hard limit, but for the sake of it, let's say 200 keys max 😉

Winner

Congrats to @Djeikup@lemmy.world your set has been drawn and will be sent to you for free! I have also sent coupons to all other participants, I hope you have enjoyed testing the app as much as I did enjoy looking at your sets!

FYI I did the draw and sent a video to OBOSOB (mod of this sub) to show it's been done in good faith!

KD5PAS this my code tho ill need some extra added things (i added a numrow to teh kyria so i can use this for my elora when it comes)

[–] fkcaps@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

alright! you may want to customize this num row then don't you? also beware that some legends sometimes are too big for the key (Caps Lock / Backspace) so you'd want to fix that too

To edit your set to make those changes:

  • Go to your creations using this link, or by clicking the user icon in the top right
  • Click the set you want to edit
  • Click the “customize” button
  • Update the code in your comment
