Hi! It is my first post in this community in Lemmy. I just wanted to show my ortholinear KB. It is a KpRepublic BM40 (plank-like) with Cherry Brown switches.
I built it 8 months ago and I love it, for every day work and for working elsewhere beacause it is very easy to carry in my backpack.
I hope you like it.
Looks great, especially the orange keys. Where did you get the caps?
I really like the keycaps. Really nice setup!
Very nice! Plancks are my favorite. I totally don't have multiple...
How much that cute little thing costs?
Don't remerber exactly, because despite I build it some months ago, the pieces I bougot them almost a year ago. Anyways here it is an estimation:
So, around 120€. I mean, it is not cheap, but I am really happy with the result. But I am sure it is not toe most expensive thing you can find into this rabbithole 😂
How do you write numbers?
Most 40%s bind the numbers to an additional layer (think of layers like an additional shift key), for example, on my planck, I have the "lower" layer and my top row bound to numbers.
You can also do fun things like mapping "lowered" keys to number pad layout. This is also what I do on my lower layer. When I hold down my lower button, I have number on the top row and a 10-key layout where my right hand rests on the home row.
The numbers are in my Lower Layer (pressing with thumb the blue button):
Esc 1 2 3 _ _ Vol+ Prev ↑ Next Play Bspc
Del 4 5 6 . , Vol- ← ↓ → Ñ Insert
Shf 7 8 9 0 € Mute _ _ _ _ Enter
The symbols are in my Raise Layer (pressing with thumb the orange button):
Esc ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) Bspc
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 ` - = [ ]
F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 ~ _ + { } |
is that a blackboard or a mousepad in the background?
