  • Oh wow. That Shield Wizards looks really nice! Thanks for sharing it.

    Regarding battery life: There is a possibility in ZMK to add an interrupt line to allow the MCU to go into deep sleep. It of course needs to be supported by the circuit. I took a look at their QMK firmware for the Prime61 and it seems like it also does not use an interrupt.

  • But how do you type numb...oh wait :D

    Nice board! Good job for figuring out ZMK - it is a totally different approach over QMK. I prefer it over QMK, because it has more options out of the box for hold-taps and the like.

  • Thanks! No, not at all. I have been using boards this small daily for almost 6 years now.

    Basically all keys from a full-size keyboard are on my keymap, just not on the base layer. Most keys I can reach by pressing 2 keys, which is equal to typing an uppercase key.

    For example on the split spacebars, the left bar does space when pressed shortly, and switches to a layer with numbers and symbols when pressed. The right bar would do enter / switch to navigation layer where there is arrows. Another key thing (no pun indended) is to use whats called home-row modifiers. That basically means gui, shift, alt and control are where your fingers rest (e.g. left hand A, S, D, F).

    The main benefit over a full-size board for me is that I don't have to move my fingers more than one row up/down (and index fingers one row in ofc). I have also fun tinkering with layouts and like the small form factor. Getting used to the layout took around one or two weeks - I already had a bigger keyboard with QMK where I added the smaller keymap so I could switch while learning.

  • Thanks! I don't have any issues with it, but I think it is a good idea to rotate boards and change layouts.

  • The plate (where the switches are mounted to) is printed as well. The wiring is done using 1mm copper wire by hand (hence handwired), switches go into 3d printed sockets. There is a nice!nano microcontroller inside mounted in the middle of the bottom.

    Here is a picture of the wiring:

  • Thanks! Will do - I'll reply here once the repo is ready

  • Haha thanks!

    It was Spectrum matte black and matte clear varnish. I think it was about 7 coats color and 2 of the varnish.

  • Well, to be honest: Before I had the knob on my keyboard, I had an O+P combo for Ctrl+Backspace to delete the last word. I still use that more frequently than the knob. For left/right I should probably try to use it more often.

  • yep it is printed. The layer marks are deceiving - there were 4 separate parts printed in different orientations, glued together and post-processing using primer, spray paint and a top coat.

    split space ftw! 😆

  • My main use is to mute/unmute the microphone on push - like a big panic button.

    For rotation it is left/right, backspace/delete, volume down/up, brightness down/up depending on the current layer.
