As part of the KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar, Nick Brassel (u/tzarc), one of QMK’s Directors, writes about how he wasn’t satisfied with keyboards only having switches and an indicator LED or three. Read it here:
There are hundreds of split keyboards, hundreds of switches and there's an endless number of alternative logical layouts (other than qwerty). Try to observe yourself when typing and identify the cause of your symptoms. A new keyboard won't help you without a known issue to address. E.g. splits alleviate ulnar deviation. Low profile may alleviate wrist extension. Tenting helps with forearm pronation. But you may simply need a better layout, move a frequent key combo to another finger, higher chair, arm rest. So again: observe yourself before impulse buying anything.
As part of the KBD.NEWS Advent Calendar, Simon of u/fk-caps looks back on 2022 and his journey of making custom keycaps, new profiles and designer collaborations.
(Spoiler: It's been a custom in the Japanese DIY keyboard community, but I tried to recruit an all-star line-up to bring this phenomenon to you outside of Japan.)
