"don't like GDPR"? What's not to like? Best thing that came out of EU regulation in a long time. And as others have noted you seem to be misinformed about what it actually says...

hopefully enough people will find their way here. maybe starting things off here by reposting some projects would be good :)

Here's a visual representation :)

Well I won't have any problems with doctors I suppose

Afaict, most folks in the scene end up with something more individual, mostly smaller designs, often with a bit more column stagger and/or splay.

I feel like 34-36 keys is the sweet spot for most.

Now the recommendation depends a bit on how much time you wanna spend with iteration of the keymap and physical layout. If you just wanna get a new keeb asap, then the moonlander is certainly an option.

I'd recommend browsing the other posts a bit and also check out what vendors on your continent can offer if you don't wanna build yourself.

So cool! Love the roundings, especially around the trackball 👌👌👌 And also Chicago Steno is such bliss 😌

Hell yeah! Welcome to the split side! 🥳

If you want your keymap to be Colemak always and everywhere, you can change your keymap keyboard-side instead of pc-side. That way your PC won't notice you're not using Qwerty ;)

Since others already posted the larger variants... I'm partial to the Rommana.

Yup, I currently have v, z, and q on combos. You can also check my current keymap in the repo I linked above (in the example_keymaps directory).

I've been using this layout exclusively for a few months now, the initial learning curve was actually not that steep, since I had been on the Aptmak layout for a while before reducing it a bit to this state.

True! Instead of one huge ass keyboard I now have 15 very small ones on my desk 🤓

I wrote a short Introduction to Small Keyboards a while ago for the guys from keeb.supply when they first stocked kits for my Zilpzalp keyboard.

Maybe it'll help understand some of the appeal of small boards and how to productively use them 😊

It's very much functional :) But to be fair, the perspective does a lot in this picture. Close-up:

From my experience, used boards are mostly sold in the respective semi-local communities on Discord. The continent you live on is a good first indicator for what communities to join :)

I have them on almost all of my MX boards, and Chcago Steno on the choc ones :)
genuinely goated profile

so what you're saying is... moving your arm outwards to use the mouse is more ergonomic than moving it inwards? 🤔

it's aptmak plus random caps on the keys i don't use :)

so, ummm...

(obviously not final, just a quick mock-up)

Ergogen is so good 👌 Writing the firmware is surprisingly easy thanks to zmk / qmk :) Fingers crossed for the future work!

Apart from the BastardKB stuff I assume you're already aware of, Chonky Bois and Rommana come to mind considering keywell.

If you relax the keywell condition there's tons of options, maybe check out mechdb.net and golem.hu.

Yea, i'm also using light chocs here (pinks, which are 25g). Maybe i could even spring-swap them to 15g.
