And it’s done! For now. Eventually, I may want to replace the 10 mm top frame with a thinner one, and possibly put some different-feel keycaps on editing and navigation keys.

I got my case cut! Purple Tentacle is temporarily blue :D due to protective film on the acrylic which is actually colorless. case-assembled.jpg Layers, bottom to top: stainless steel 1mm, acrylic 10mm, stainless steel 1mm, acrylic 10mm. (Actually should have made that last one thinner.) case-side-vi...

Ah, i know the DOTT by heart (still have the original in the box and one in the scummvm and the remake :D ) i just did not get the connection between the name and the keyboard. Okay, now look at the triangular area between the halves, where the three holes for the LEDs are. That’s the tentacle’s bo...

Any reason why the pinky columns are on different offsets on the left and right sides? Just for trying out different arrangements? Exactly. There is another discrepancy between the halves — the palm key is 1/4 unit higher on the right. These two differences are pretty much the whole reason for this...

I have a hard time visualizing how the thumb cluster/buttons will feel. Would definitely be interested...

Cool layout. The space key is going to be a big pain, but other than that looks pretty good for a flat one-piece keyboard with lots of keys. I see two potential issues with the space. It’s small, and it’s surrounded by other keys. That may make it difficult to hit when not already in typing positio...

Key assignments are tentative and subject to change. layout-06-editing.png It is heavily inspired by Truly Ergonomic (symmetry + column stagger). Change...

Hello everybody! Any Matias Ergo Pro owners willing to help? I’m considering a custom build based on Matias switches. And since I’d be ordering switches and keycaps, I thought I might just as well use their Ergo Pro palm supports. However, I won’t be ordering parts until I get an estimation on the c...
