Does this 40% layout exist?
« on: Sun, 21 May 2023, 04:34:46 »
Any suggestions for a keyboard or kit with physical layout similar to this?

Not sure if a keyboard exist with this layout but, the layout looks so awful to be honest. going this small and staggered i don't see the benefits and the reason for it to exist then because it can.

I went with this layout and never looked back it is super comfortable and feels way more natural.

What keyboards have that exact physical layout, and which one are you on @Sup?

You would probably be looking at a hhkb 40%, something like this - https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=92259.0 (do not know if this specific project is any good, just showed a board with a similar layout)

You could DIY and make keyboard with the same layout and handwiring and like a 3d printed case and stuff like that, if you want that specific layout I guess.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

They call it a Corne keyboard. Its a opensource keyboard so you can get all the parts yourself or a kit and build one yourself. I think Boardsource offers the most premium kits.
