I recently (a few weeks ago) finished putting the latest version of my Dactyl Lynx #keyboard together, using my Snowshoe MX single-switch PCBs, and I'm incredibly happy with the results!

Finished building my new hardwired split mechanical keyboard this weekend! #3dprinted based on my own design, spray painted and powered by a pair of Raspberry Pi Pico W’s. Of course, it’s running my fave #keyboard firmware #KMK! Sadly #CircuitPython doesn’t yet support BLE on the PicoW so it’s not wireless yet, but I’m just counting down the days!

Glaube es dauert noch ein paar Tage, bis mein Tastaturlayout final ist...
Staune aber nach wie vor jeden Tag, wie sehr wir uns normalerweise im Alltag quälen. Die Gewöhnung an gewisse einprogrammierte Abkürzungen setzt jedenfalls schon ein, inzwischen dauert der Wechsel auf ein normales QWERTZ-Layout ein paar Sekunden.
Alleine das Löschen einzelner Zeichen (vorwärts und rückwärts) per einfachem Daumen-Tastendruck von Backspace/Delete und das Löschen von ganzen Wörtern mit einem kurzen Halten der selben Tasten ist super. Copy-Cut-Paste auf einer Taste, dazu ein Clipboard-Manager: genial. Umlaute per Halten der Tasten für A, U und O einzugeben spart satte 3 Tasten und ist für mich viel intuitiver als die separaten und schwer zu erreichenden Umlaut-Tasten.
Habe die Tasten und auch viele Kombinationen inzwischen auf 5 Ebenen verteilt, wobei bei den anderen immer nur wenige Tasten belegt sind. Wenn ich mal fertig bin, packe ich die bestimmt auch mal auf Github.
I’ve not found a comfortable setup for my #MechanicalKeyboard #SplitKeyboard using tenting yet - I think I’m too used to the high wrist wrest on my reverse inclined #Microsoft4000 (which I do not touch type on, which keeps my hands very mobile), and this Corne with MX key switches is too high - and with six columns too wide when inclined (center up, outer edges down).
Currently trying a low pull out keyboard shelf (never used before as it lacked clearance for the old keyboard) & chair arm rests. Might work - feels better for shoulders and elbow angle having the keyboard that much lower down.
#MechanicalKeyboard journey so far (I was warned of the risks):
Pre-assembled Corne #SplitKeyboard Tried muitiple #KeyboardLayouts Replaced keycaps Magsafe tenting (trying to mimic angles of old setup)
Replaced switches (current ones are a bit noisy) Reflashed firmware
Will I stop, or get a second keyboard & repeat… perhaps self-assembly next time?
Dans un train, sans véritable connexion internet, j'improvise une activité hors ligne. Je peux pas m'entraîner sur les sites que j'utilise pour apprendre @ergol ... Sur mon poste j'ai un TUI ttyper, écrit en rust, pour s'entrainer au clavier.
Une regexp plus tard, je peux m'entraîner sur les premières touche du layout.

#splitkeyboard #ErgonomicKeyboards and #mechanicalkeyboard enthusiasts. I tore the usb port out of the Arduino of my redox keyboard.
I don't have the time to resolder and/or rebuild. What would you recommend and specifically any stores I can buy preassembled ones. Must be split, must be full-ish l. Looking at https://www.zsa.io/moonlander but not convinced about the wrist wrests
I’m really glad that I have a #splitkeyboard in situations like this
It has been around a year since I changed both #keyboardLayout to #Dvorak and converted to a #splitKeyboard from a conventional #qwerty full size.
From time to time, I took some #MonkeyType #tests, to see the progress in my #typing speeds and accuracy. I thought that sharing my stats might help someone which is wondering if they should take a similar road 
For reference, I was before typing at a speed around 100-120 wpm, but my wrist was hurting so much that I was fearing I couldn't longer type in the long run... so it is a win for me, even if now I'm (for the moment) slower 
Unfortunately, I started using MonkeyType with an account only after I changed the keyboard, and didn't think of taking a screenshot before... I regret it so much, so if you are doing something similar, please take at least a screen of your previous data 
but having a fresh account gives a bit of dopamine when it shoots confetti to notify you of an improvement 
It's more like wanting to improve, and less about trying to compete with your older self.
#Keyboard is a #ZSA #Moonlander in Dvorak layout, tilted and rotated to the outside instead of the usual inside (i find it more comfortable and natural) and with the halves widely spaced.
I use the computer e.day, for most of the day doing video-editing, 3D, moderation, some coding, a lot of chatting, study... needless to say, I have exercised every day for the past year 
And yes, I can still use a qwerty keyboard (maybe because of the shock therapy change), but don't like typing on it!
I would love to hear your story too!!

After a bit of fiddling my current keyboard layout on the new #sofle looks like this. It's based on #neoqwertz for the symbol layer.
I'm still reconfiguring some shortcuts I use with apps or #i3wm as some keys (or combinations) are more difficult to handle now.
L4 is completely mapped to my #i3wm shortcuts.
Speedwise I'm back to ~30-35 words per minute. More important though I'm able to work with it at my job. Phew. 
A week ago, I finally built the Triboard, a tiny 34/36 key wired/wireless #splitkeyboard. Today I made a post about it: https://tarneo.fr/posts/triboard
