Simon Peng 🐵Not sure why I felt like it needed to be private for so long, but if anyone else has a Voyager keyboard and is interested, this is my current layout I use on mine: <a href="https://configure.zsa.io/voyager/layouts/65nAX/latest/0" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://configure.zsa.io/voyager/layouts/65nAX/latest/0</a><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/voyager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#voyager</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/zsa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zsa</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/splitkeyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#splitkeyboard</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/ergomech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ergomech</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/colemak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#colemak</a>

Gaveen PrabhasaraFamily photo. My two ID75 ortholinear/matrix-style custom mechanical keyboards.The top one (white, black, and orange colors) is the older, with an Atmel chip, XDA profile PBT keycaps, and QMK/VIA configuration. Usually kept at work.The bottom one (white characters on black) is the newer, with a RPi2 chip, MOA profile PBT keycaps, and QMK/Vial configuration. Daily carrying in my backpack.This is the trade off of using a custom layout (based on vanilla Colemak) as a unibody split keyboard. However, considering how much direct and indirect posture correction they allowed me, and that I can work all day everyday without any discomfort, I easily consider them a worthy investment.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ergomech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ergomech</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/mechanicalkeyboards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mechanicalkeyboards</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/keyboards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#keyboards</a> PS: sharing late because I now have a phone with a functioning camera again.

Jacob Sam-La RoseDear muscle memory— I promise to not update this keyboard's keymap for at least the next month to give you a chance to get used to all the new key assignments and combos.

Jacob Sam-La RoseMy middle right thumb key has been playing up again, so I've started experimenting with a few(!) things. Current <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/keymap" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#keymap</a> is probably not the best advert for a 40% <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/ergomech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ergomech</a> <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/mechkeeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mechkeeb</a> <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/Keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Keyboard</a>... 🙄Leaning deeply into combos. Learning a lot about the difference between things that seem to make sense when abstracted vs things that make actual sense in action. Muscle memory is being battered, but it feels good to experiment towards best fit. It will (/may?) pare down in the near future...

Garrett LeSageWhen your daily-use ergonomic columnar mechanical keyboard breaks and you're without one for a few days and realize it'd take weeks to get a new one (or custom replacement parts)...I love my Moonlander (which I thankfully fixed... whew 😅), but I imagine going without an ergo keyboard at all for a few weeks sounds painfully difficult.In other words, I might've just ordered a Voyager, possibly as a new main, or at least a backup. 😇<a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/ZSA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ZSA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Moonlander" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Moonlander</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/Voyager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Voyager</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/ErgoMech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ErgoMech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.xyz/tags/keyboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#keyboard</a>

Thought it was a firmware issue at one point, but I ended up swapping the microcontrollers over to good effect; the left side wasn't sitting properly in its hot-swap sockets but seems to work fine when installed on the right. /shrugConsidering learning Colemak-DH. But I really probably don't need to.

Jacob Sam-La RoseI'm in niches of niches. I use an <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/iPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iPad</a> as my primary computer. I also use a 36-key split <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/ergomech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ergomech</a> keyboard for an input device. So no globe key. <a href="https://toolsforthought.social/tags/iPadOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iPadOS</a> allows for remapping a few modifier keys, so I've set my capslock as a globe/fn key (I have a capsword key in my keymap, but that's another story). I also use a few third-party keyboards. Grammarly on occasion. Lazyboard for snippets. Emoji. There are a few gotchas, but mostly I'm happy to be able to set things up in a way that works for me.
