Hi folks,

A while back, I released the flow MX36 and was working on a companion keyboard with choc keys. I’ve been using it for around 6 months but I haven’t released it for a few reasons. I thought that I’d provide an update just for fun. Below are the outstanding errata items:

  • in an effort to minimize finger movement, I jammed the keys as close as I could. As a result, unfortunately it only works with Asymplex ChicagoSteno’s…which I love btw.
  • after using it for a while, I want to squish the col-col spacing.I initially liked some space between the cols, but now I want to try a squished version.
  • I haven’t confirmed that both sides work with the choc amoebas. I’ve built up the trackball side with amoebas but I don’t know if the other side works with amoebas, i.e. has no internal interference.

So why is it taking so long? Well, my personal motivation is taking a backseat for other aspects of life…namely my kids and reading books.

Anyway, below are some pics. Happy typing!

    Haha, how dare I.

    Thanks! I don’t have a ton of experience with 3d design, really I’ve only designed keyboards (4 or so) and a few things for the house. The flow series of keyboards was my first stab at using forms in Fusion 360, which was pretty fun.
