I've been switching back and forth for a couple of years now, I use an ortho at my desk, my laptop keyboard on my commute and a staggered 60% at home (still can't get used to gaming on a 40% ortho.) The staggered vs ortho switch doesn't bother me but I use home row mods on my 40's and that constantly throws me off when they are not available.
I don't know if MechanicalHeadPens has been created as a community yet, maybe I'll create one unless someone has a link.
I have a Preonic at home that I swap to occasionally but every time I open a game I always reach for my staggered. The Preonic also has Kailh Box Navy Thick Clicks so it's not conducive to gaming at all in my opinion, I loved the switches when I first got them but I've grown out of them.
I tried searching, and it doesn't look like there's a MechanicalHeadPens community yet. The only thing that comes up is your comment. Both of my Plancks have Gateron Black Inks. I tried it on the first one, and loved it so much that I just used it on the second one that I made!
Thank you, it was my first try at hand routing a case. I wish I would have gone a little bit deeper but the jig and router bit I used limited the depth.
That is a beautiful Planck
I'll admit that it looks cool, but man...I just have a hard time seeing how that could possibly be functional.
You just have to find a layout that fits your usecase - this is my Planck layout
I tried ortholinear for a month at home and a week at work but it never clicked for me. Still a great build.

Very nice! I also have a Planck at work and at home. You should also go and check out /c/fountainpens!

Very nice. Is that maple case custom-made? Where did you order? Thanks.
Is that a Lamy Safari?
It is, I have pens that I spent a lot more money on but it's still my favorite.
Love the case!

I never understood how a keyboard with such few buttons can get work done 😅
Layers, lots of layers. I generally only use 3 layers on a regular basis and once you get used to it it's hard to go back for general typing.
