Yes, it’s mechanical. Choc V1 20g Nocturnal switches, and I use it daily at work typing for a living. 26-key Unibody ʻākohekohe
Crazy that you managed to snap one in their natural habitat.
I heard they are exceptionally rare these days.Do you always use a banana tree as your desktop?
it’s just for scale. for weird palmy scale
I would be very disappointed otherwise
No comment 😂
So, am I reading your linked keymap right? Chording in two axes, 4 layers (in addition to Shift, Ctrl, etc.), and several keys using tap-hold?
I am incredibly impressed. Have you considered becoming a multi-instrumentalist?
Do you use this in conjunction with any other input devices?
Logitech Trackman Marble for pointing
How do you switch modes? Like, activating nav or symnum layout?
Or how do you even use the [shift] key, while it’s primarily bound to [R] ?
Holding the highlighted red thumb key(s) will activate layers. So left thumb is nav, right is symnum, both is fun.
The shift on R is only used for shortcuts, and acts as r when tapped and shift when held. For typing I use the two sticky shift combos on ring+middle homerow.
I’m always impressed by people using these incredibly small keyboards. I’ve never been able to get accustomed to using anything lower than 68% for a daily driver.
Thought the same, then tried a Corne-ish Zen and … I’ve been on a strange path from normal keyboard to split kbd to Ergodox to Moonlander (so more and more) down to Corne-ish Zen (3x6) and my hands/wrist thank me daily. Even today I edited my keymap https://github.com/Utopiah/zmk-config-zen-2/blob/main/config/corneish_zen.keymap thinking “Wow… so much keys left still, I could do with less”.
