My Journey From Mechanical to Ergonomic Keyboards | New ErgoMech Open Sourced (Kaly42) + Video!
(iili.io)
Hello everyone! I recently open sourced the Kaly42, a cheap split Ergonomic Mechanical Keyboard and, to celebrate the occasion, have decided to tell the story of how I went from a standard mechanical keyboard to the CSTC40 and eventually to designing and building a new keyboard! The files are available here and the video here! If any of that interests you, please check them out, it would mean a lot to me!
Very cool! I really like the ergonomics since carpal tunnel from long time use is a concern. The price point is also very welcoming.
Is there a version that could include the function keys as an additional top row? I understand the keys can be programmable, but having the f1-f12 keys on the top row would be preferable since I use them often.
There's many keebs similar to what you're describing! Check out for example the Lily58 or Sofle, available e.g. from splitkb.com.
Thanks for the link! Down the rabbit hole I goooooo!
