Darn, the early bird catches the worm. Maybe next time

I tried walking a similar path but just could not unlearn qwerty.
I did a bilingual character frequency-optimized layout... but I gave up after a month of typing like a paralyzed sloth.

I have found the courage to try again in my next project. But my only real changes to alphanumerics is to move E to the left thumb, and the punctuation to the center between v and b.

It is much easier to get used to moving navigation, tab and other utility keys not used directly in typing. But that is just my experience. Yours might be completely different.

SA Oblivion finally arrived!

Unfortunately I only put it on for show, because the CA66 PCB recently bricked (no lights pop up, nothing works) and honestly I feel broken and unsure of what to do...

Have you tried it on other PCs to see if it works?

Yes, it broke at work and when I went home to try on my PC nothing would work either.

Tried reflashing but it won't recognize the device at all.

Having a similar issue myself. Board was plugged in and sitting there and the lights went all white randomly like it is in bootloader mode. After that I can't get it to recognize to reflash. Tried multiple cables, windows box, mac box and even checked on my linux box just to see if it even shows up but nothing. If I open it up and bridge the reset and ground it will reset but still doesn't come up as a flashable device. Don't really know where to go from here. I guess the pcb died though I have no idea why it would have. Wasn't even touching it when it happened.

Do you all remember what machine you were using when it happened? I don't know if you've been following, but apparently MacBooks can cause issues:

So, my CA66 is having a strange issue. I was using it with my work Macbook Pro, and it was fine for hours, but then I woke the laptop from sleep mode. The LEDs turned white, and the keyboard is no longer working. I unplugged and replugged it, which didn't work. I have tried reflashing it but it will not enter bootloader mode. The LEDs come on but are solid white. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Final update: Looks like the culprit is likely my Macbook Pro at work. It's one of the new USB-C only versions, and people are reporting that these are frying peripherals due to weird power surges in the ports. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16971052

I've messaged PlayKeyboardTW and hopefully there are extra PCBs available, because I do like having a backup. Be careful where you're plugging in your keyboards apparently!

So your PC doesn't recognize the board when you plug it in at all? If it DOES recognize it, try resetting eeprom first, then re-flashing.

It was on a dell xps 15 so not related to the macbook issue. How would I go about resetting the eeprom?

 Willing to post to uk?
