They can be as custom as you want! I’ve made a few by coming up with a layout I want, making the 3D model for the case, 3D printing it out and handwiring it up myself, then doing the firmware for it.
You can make something that once only existed in your head into something you use every single day!
Oh I might have to take a look at that, I also use FreeCAD! Damn look at all these things you’re introducing me to 😂
My next build was (probably) going to be a remix of the iris and I wanted to include a joystick so I could use it 4 ways (towards left, highlight words to left; to right, layer; up down, vol controls).
I’d never come across 4/5 way switches before so that’s definitely something I’ll be looking into! Thanks for sharing!!
What CAD program do you use for designing your cases?
I started off with the quefrency, a split ‘normal’ keyboard, then started making my own (3d printed handwired) orthos.
Then I saw the alu case for iris and got tempted but am unwilling to drop >$300 on a layout I’ve never used before, so designed my own case with tilt and 3d printed and handwired that (all for ~£30 only!! split orthos CAN be cheap! - my first post on Lemmy was on this :D) And have been daily driving it so far
Column staggered is defo the way to go
On the hot hot hot days in summer I wet a cloth and lay it on me usually on my chest. It does dry out your skin a little over time/days but it’s worth being able to fall asleep imo.
Damn, that really sucks
🤞🏼!
Yes, the subscribing part wasn’t related to the problem in this post (my bad), it was just another example of how unfriendly lemmy can be to users.
But you do need to subscribe if you want to have some instance’s posts to the one you are currently on.
This was what I was referring to with the subscribing part. It’d be a chore to cultivate your homepage to show content you’re interested in.
That… is ridiculous. Already, subbing to another instance’s communities is unintuitive.
This will never become a reddit alternative if it’s so finnicky!
I have done this, but it’s pretty buggy.
If I search the post URL, I get 0 comments. https://imgur.com/a/Ec3GxO0 (Image from the search result so you can see I’m searching the lemmy.world URL as when clicking, it redirects to the lemm.ee URL)
If I search one specific comment’s URL, I get one comment. https://imgur.com/a/gxIuUIu
So by this logic I would have to specifically search all comments to get the full content on one post? Doesn’t seem reasonable.
Yeah hence why I said idk the cost of living and €4k might be enough. I also live in the north of England, on (28k but just went up to) 34k before tax but since I live in the city center of a big city, it’s not a huge amount… and I have a housemate
Edit and we’re not talking close to 6 figs here, another user pointed out that €4k/month before tax is not even €50k a year so if they’re living in a city that costs more than the relatively-lower cost north of England, they’re not in good shape.
lemm.ee is about a day old I think (based on posts). the post I’m trying to interact with is 3h old, and I just subbed to the community about 20 mins ago. so does that mean I just have to wait and eventually the content will come through or it’ll never come through?
Hmm ok, I’m not that aware of how much tax and what general cost of living is in the countries the 7 people are living in, so I guess €4000 (before tax)/month could be enough…
https://join-lemmy.org/apps/ has a mlem listed as a client for iOS
I think I’m misunderstanding, €28k for 7 full time workers is more than enough?
You can either design your own PCB or handwire. I handwire because it’s cheaper, and I don’t have to order min 5 pieces and have extra lying around after.
Look up QMK, you can do a million different things with the firmware.
