Been a while since my last vintage kb build, finally found time to build this one: Switches: Clicky Amber Alps from 1990 Keycaps: IBM 5556 with Mandarin sub-legends Case: GSKT-00 (anodized aluminum) Took 5 years to find this particular set of keycaps, but here we are :)

Just uploaded everything to my GitHub repository: https://github.com/teleyinex/qmk_userspace NOTE: this is for a Spanish keyboard, so take it with two pinches of salt :D

I have finally decided to represent the layers as icons in the OLED display. I have managed to center the wpm text in the lower part, and I still have space to add something (probably something small). I have created everything with Inkscape. I plan to upload everything to GitHub so others can adapt it to their needs. What do you think?

It's time to level up the customization of my corne keyboard. The OLED displays are amazing. For now, some geeky stuff, which is much nicer than the default logo. I will be playing with layers and WPM and upload a video once I have something working. Do you identify the logos?

Is it worth buying a wireless Cornish keyboard? Which one would you recommend? It looks like the only option is zmk, right?

For the font lovers: Gorton font Marcin, the author of the blog post, explains his research about the widely used font Gorton in NYC. The font dates back to George Gorton Machine Co.s engraving machines. The font is very recognizable because of his line and unusual forms. The font is widely used because it offered durability and ease of reproduction when SVG or TTF fonts were not available. This blog post is interesting for people on /mech-kb and /design as now I want those letters for my keyboard or next project 😄 https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/

How do you usually handle numbers? I code only in Neovim, and I have two ways: on layer 1, numbers are on the top row, and on layer 2, they are on my right hand like in a numpad. I find myself switching between the two because of my old habits of standard keyboards and because I still tend to wake up my hand a lot. What's your solution?

If Caden is excited about a new keyboard, it's gonna be a banger. This is a 5 column staggered ergo split wireless keyboard, and he's offering to assemble?? I'm in for my first new keeb since the NovaTouch TKL I got in 2016!
