I just finished this fun little keeb which I based off the Hummingbird, but I made it hot swappable, dropped the pinkies down more, made the thumbs more reachy, and spaced it for Chosfox CFX keycaps (tighter than standard Choc spacing).
It has a top plate and sound-dampening silicone gasket, as well as foam on the backside of the PCB.
Everything is open sourced on my github
Super clean! I’ve had Egret bookmarked for a bit as inspiration, and tern is now being bookmarked as well. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Hazel! The feeling is mutual, I’ve had your badwings boards bookmarked myself for a while now.
Really clean, great work.
Incredible, excellent work!
I guess this relies heavily on home row mods?
So far I’ve never had a clean typing experience with home row mods 😢
I love them, I just keep getting accidental triggers no matter what configuration I use. And eventually I have to disable them.
Would love to have them work perfectly but maybe that’s just not possible due to just… That’s how it is
I use a 30 key keyboard and do not use homerow mods. It is definitely possible. I use mods on a layer. Callum (sticky) style mods on a layer are also an option. You can see my layout here: https://github.com/jcmkk3/zmk-config
Looks great! Is there a builder YouTube channel that shows the design / execution of something like this? If no, maybe you’ve got an opportunity knocking!
The classic resource is ai03’s guide, successfully used it myself a couple years ago to design my current daily driver in KiCAD.
This is beautiful. Exactly the layout that I’ve been wanting too - 23332 for the fingers and 2 thumbs. I think this is the ideal balance between too few and too many keys while remaining super comfy.
Thank you very much! I sent you a PM
