Hahah. Layers and combos. You can see a few people’s layouts on 30 key boards at the keymap db website. What’s even better is I actually don’t even use all the keys lol. https://keymapdb.com/
Modded Colemak dh with v z j on combo for the past months. But I am building a zilpzalp soon and took the leap to aptmak this weekend. Only 3 days in though.
You program/configure your keymap into the keyboard's firmware so it is independent of your operating system. If you use Mac, you put your Mac specific keys into the map where you want them. It's totally up to you - if you want every key to be "a" you can do that :)
80wpm usually but I’ve hit 100 when I am being a try-hard hahaha. Swapped to aptmak a few days ago so I am back to 40-50 wpm now while I get used to the new layout.
bro it looks like a moth and that's sick
Yeah love the look of it, hummingbird really nails the aesthetic
Do you prefer the track ball for your thumb or for your middle finger?
Middle and pointer fingers for sure. Used thumb trackballs for 17 years and now my thumb is starting to hurt. More accurate as well I find
Or your palm?
But that's not enough keys!
Just wait for my 28 key then 26 keys builds 👀
Where to buy?
You can get the PCB from JLC https://github.com/jcmkk3/trochilidae
I’ve also got 3 pcbs left I’d give away for the cost of shipping Australia. Last I checked it was 15 usd to the US
How tf you use that keyboard? No ctrl, shift, num keys?

Beautiful. Is that usb c or bt?
Looks like USB C to a pogo pin / magsafe type connector
Yep. Xiao BLE usb c but I used magnet connectors on all my boards
Those keycaps look awesome. You using aptmak?

Depends. Is this for an Apple device?
Why does that matter?
If less keys is better may depend on if it's mac or not (apparently).
Could be lack of customisation available on Mac? (guess only)

Hahaha sometimes hackintosh but mostly Linux and windows at work.
What does this even mean?
How are your typing speeds on this?

Good luck with aptmak!
