A while ago, I bought a pre-built Totem and just enough switches. I could never get used to the large stagger and the splay.

When I saw a relatively cheap wireless Corne on Aliexpress, I thought I’d have another try at a low profile keyboard. I didn’t think of checking how many switches I had. Well, I’m two short! Damn.

Otherwise, the keeb uses ZMK and it took me a minute to flash it with my config.

  • Aww, it sounds perfectly horrible! You should definitely resell it.

    Anyway, yeah, everyone’s fingers are different. My fingers are very clearly different lengths; at rest, they sit almost perfectly on a Piantor’s keys; I think the designer must have had hands very similar to mine.

    One day, if we don’t extinct ourselves, 3D printers will be like microwaves, and be able to print circuit boards, and every household will have one. They’ll all be able to print custom keyboards for each person. Or, maybe by then everyone will be using cybernetic interfaces and typing will go the way of cursive.
