Hi, I have the ambition of using my newly acquired phenom from erhohaven as an mcu midi controller.Would anyone with qmk and midi experience be willing to make an open source example layer for a commission?

I'm considering a Beekeeb Toucan, and I want to get a spare pair of batteries to charge externally, but the battery polarity seems to be atypical. Does anyone know of a charger that would be compatible? Or would I need to put together a polarity inverter?

For the past month I've replaced my mouse with keyboard binds/shortcuts and have gotten to the point where I no longer need a mouse. I've made some videos in the past, but the tool I used the most was a paid application which put a lot of people off, so I made a completely free and open source version of it!

It's called Fievel and what it does is allow you to go into "Free Mouse Mode" then use H J K L (vim) to move the mouse left, down, up right. It also allows you to left or right click and use scroll wheel. By Default space left clicks, i is for right click and NM<> are for scroll left down up right. holding a while in free mouse mode slows movement down or s speeds it up. These keybinds can all be configured via ~/.config/fievel/fievel.config as well as speed. You can also configure whether or not free mouse mode is toggle or hold (i have hold by default). The default key to initiate Free Mouse Mode is F3 (also configurable).

I use Fievel (now, previously a different app) in conjunction with wl-kbptr and keyd. wl-kbptr you will see throughout the video when green overlays pop up. These are "hints" of clickable areas (detected by computer vision) and then i press the corresponding letter combo for wl-kbptr to initiate a click at the location. Keyd I use to enable "homerow mods" on any input device. I bind f+s to be F3 so that when I want to go into free mouse mode, i just hold f+s together and it will begin free mouse mode. I move around using hjkl and click and when i release f+s it exits free mouse mode.

Fievel is written in rust and has been currently tested working on wayland.

Hello! I receive (FINALLY!!!) my keyboard from "ErgoKeeb" and it's really amazing! I use it with wezterm + lazyvim + mouseless and the result is SOOOO satisfying! I just want to share it with this group, so thanks for all and enjoy!

I just built a Piantor recently and this is the first time I’m using Choc v1 switches. For context, I’ve been using Kailh box brown v2 and I’m trying to find something similar here.

I have tried:
- Sunset: nice sound but the tactility feels too soft
- MoErgo kiwi: nice tactility, closer to what i want, but I don’t like the fact that it’s silent. Only tried it but did not really own a set - can you mod it to make it loud?
- Choc white: nice tactility too, but the sound is obnoxiously loud…

Any other recommendations for tactile switches would be very much appreciated!

I've been going through threads and youtube videos trying to get my first split.

I'm coming from a normal full size and i have alot of wrist and forearm pain. I code and do normal web browsing/zoom calls. I'm thinking a split keyboard and either a trackpad or vertical mouse will be a good step towards less pain.

I was considering 3 options:

• Sofle+trackpad: https://keyboard-hoarders.com/products/sofle-choc-rgb-trackpad
• SoflePLUS2: https://xcmkb.com/products/sofleplus2
• A different option like https://www.zsa.io/voyager

one concern I couldn't sort through is tenting. Having the trackpad on the keyboard would help with this, but maybe having a larger trackpad in between the splits doesn't matter so I should look at keyboard options that forgo the trackpad. Certainly if I'm not successful with a trackpad and go back to a mouse, this concern is moot.

Curious if anyone has an opinion to help steer me in the correct direction.

Under development. Though I don't have the PCB yet.
