Hello, everyone!
sorry for the long title
Before
we begin, I will ask you these questions:
-
do you like HHKB layout?
actually, HHKB-like, Ctrl at home row instead of Capslock - do you want a more detailed bottom row?
-
do you use your left thumb to smash on spacebar?
if your answer is “Yes” then I think this PCB is for you.
(actually, the 3rd one is optional).
After exploring the mechanical keyboard world, keyboards come with all kind of switches, layouts,… finally I found the layout that would be the “best” for me.
But I cannot have my PCB made alone (some say it’s too costly), so I decided to make this IC thread.
I have 3 layouts:
- Layout A:
- Layout B:
- Layout AB:
I think these layouts will use their own PCB so we
can’t do all at once.
Please tell me what you think
about them.
you may ask:
+ why HHKB?
some of you may know about the Ctrl at Capslock
position (at home row), I tried this and I can’t go back.
I
also found out that if Capslock at position of Ctrl,
sometimes I will accidentally press it while pressing Ctrl +
Shift (with the pinky finger)
though I’m not in favor
of the Backspace right on top of Enter, sometimes I press
Enter instead of Backspace, maybe I’m not that used to it (I
don’t have a HHKB)
+ why Home, End, Page Up,… everything is on the left
side, are you a lefty?
I’m not, though I’m trying to use two hands
equally.
Also when you’re playing game, your right hand
will operate the mouse, yeah?
+ there are two arrow clusters?
Yes, another thing related to gaming: the cluster on
the left is to move/pan the camera, you don’t want to move
your left hand to the arrows on the right,
right? your right hand is with the mouse.
+ if there are enough interests, you’re planning to open
a group buy… with 15 posts account?
well, no, of course not, I will find a… vendor
(should I use this word?) to open a group buy instead.
even
if people were to decide to trust me, I’m not confident I
can organize a group buy.
+ your right shift…
yes, I feel that the current right shift is not that
useful, you will have to move your hand away from the home
keys.
I do have a prototype board with shift at that
position, though it’s not as effective as I thought, my
right thumb is useless
+ there are numpad keys?
yes,
I figured that someone would want to use them, for input
numbers or use “key strokes” (ex. in Window: Alt + Num 0174
= ®)
though I put the numpad 5 at the same position as
“J” key, but it’s not as effective as I thought, maybe these
numpad keys need to be printed
+ what is “flip” key?
It
should “flip” layer of ESC key:
- off: ESC, ` ~ (I think you will want dedicated ESC when gaming)
-
on:
~, ESC (for typing, you will want dedicated~, right?)
and Fn + Flip: flip layer of “numpad keys” (this should be Fn + Shift + / on layout B & AB) - off: r t y u i, - + 7 8 9
- on: - + 7 8 9, r t y u i
Suggestion & question
If you have
any suggestions or questions, please don’t hesitate to
ask.
Also, I need a name for this PCB, maybe something
with “Hack” in it?
Thank you for reading,
Tom.
