I ordered two of these to try out an ortholinear layout. I know I'll lose two keys to shift layers but the main purpose is to replace my heavily modified nostromo n52. I made a nice palm rest already but still waiting on most likely a raspberry pico for the joystick and space key. I think a similar project called GOTS did the same but I couldn't justify the price. I've hardwired an iris half before but didn't like it so I reused the pro micro for a different project.
Edit: Here is my nostromo n52 with cherry mx clone switches, a chopped up usb hub and a pro micro. I forget but it has like 14 extra buttons. I had to repair it once and do not want to dive into my spaghetti wiring to fix it again lol. The second image is a WIP prototype of the joystick keyboard attachment. I was unsatisfied with it after the first stain so I made it smaller and sanded it again. I tried to copy the n52 palm rest. Not sure why it's flagged as nsfw lol
I'm enjoying liftoff for lemmy right now but will switch to sync for lemmy once it's out. The reason why is because of gestures. I feel that it's intuitive to swipe to go back and forth between posts and voting.
