overview for hazel

Since you're going hotswap, you've already got about 3mm of space on the back of the PCB. if you make your case just a tad taller, your battery could fit under the PCB.

Does anyone have ideas about a possible battery placement on this board? in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

unfortunately, using a Xiao makes this approach less than ideal. The Xiao's battery connector is a pad on the back, reducing the amount of space a battery can fit.

GrabCAD is where I usually start my hunt.

Do Alice count as ergo? Here's mine (well, the wife's) anyway. in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

Yeah, this shouldn't be a problem at all. tzarc's Djinn is an example of dual screens.

These are Chicago Steno caps that I had printed in MJF from JLCPCB.

I've posted a couple times about Cut Slope, but one last post to announce that I've released the source code today.

I've got a couple of the prototypes left if you're interested in getting one without getting a whole order fabbed.

Which Kailh Choc switch are most similar to Razer's Optical Linear Reds? in c/ergomechkeyboards@lemmy.world

I use purpz on pinkies and thumbs, then silvers everywhere else. I can see how the 10gf differences between Reds and Silvers might not seem like a lot, but it was noticeable for me. There's also the Pro Reds which are slightly lighter at 35gf. After that you're into pink/purpz range which might be too light.

Technically not an ergo board, but in it's current setup I'm using it as a one handed gamepad. That makes it ergo, right?

After a year off from gaming, I've been itching to play. While designing some sort of gamepad, I realized I had basically already designed what I was wanting - Chaz.

After tossing ZMK and an adjusted keymap on it, I think it'll work well enough while I think about what I really want in a gamepad. If, for some godawful reason, you want one of these - I've got a few kits up on my site or if you think you want five of this abomination, it's Open Source.
