seems I can set it to anything I like with the software... so maybe I'll make it do something daft like turn off the backlight...

10/10 placement. Bravo, chap. Bravo 👏

I hate how actually functional this seems. It looks pretty similar to the default keymap for the Sweep since you layer switch with homerows. I've been spoiled with 6 layers over the last year and recently started working on 4 layers and its been... a journey this week.

I've got my < > next to shift, using ISO (that's how it works on Swedish layouts)

Edit: Ah, googled it, looks like UK ISO got tilde grave accent next to shift. On Nordic (and German?) it's < / >.

ESC key?

Lattice Block Mount System by Mode:

We’re using Carbon’s DLS™ 3D Printing Process to develop an elastomeric lattice structure mounting block bringing you a novel mounting system so you can fine tune your typing experience to be as flexible or stiff as you want.

This is the same process used to create the Adidas Futurecraft 4D 3D-Printed mid-sole.

Our first lattice block mount utilizes Voronoi Lattice patterns to create an even, bouncy, and flexible typing experience. The solid block mount uses the same proprietary materials and printing process to produce a firmer, more responsive, yet still comfortable typing experience.

The whole system is secured by two fasteners that prevent the internal assembly from moving upwards but have no impact on downwards movement.

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

would've been better if it was Promise69.

Thanks! This layout is super rare, and I like it. Hoping to see more boards like this one in the future.

I plugged it in and at the moment it's mapped as squiggly Spanish thing and a grave(?) accent. I have a key like that but it's from the top row and a completely different shape! Since I don't need that key at all I will figure out something to put there instead and try to map it with the software which I haven't even looked at yet.

Everybody wants to be my enemy

What keycap set is this? Looks 🔥

Isn't there supposed to be \ slash like this?

I want an ergo/Alice TKL so badly. Yours looks so classy. So very classy.

The numpad is a Keyhive Maypad. Had that thing for a few years, and love it.

And I know someone is going to point it out.... But the dark brown is the only 7U spacebar that comes with that keycap set. I'll have to get used to the spacebar matching the modifiers.

I'll have to try to find a brown aviator now. I know everyone is off of aviators now, but I still like them.

Looking at iso layouts on 65's I think that should be backslash.

Well they tried!

Nice, it looks awesome! What stabilizers did yo- ... Oh

I made the mistake of buying an ISO layout Q9 barebones. I usually use the ANSI layout. I thought I'd just copy the keys from a product photo of, say, a complete UK Q9, but then I realised Keychron doesn't sell the Q9 ISO in a completed form. I couldn't find a picture anywhere of a completed Q9 with ISO layout.

Luckily my keycaps - which arrived today - have multiple sizes for shift keys etc. Buuuut only the smallest shift key fits here. There are no stabilisers for what I'd call a normal size shift key. This creates a blank spot between shift and Z. I started out with ZXC etc one step to the left.. which moves the problem to the right side, and puts those keys in the wrong place.

Has anyone put one of these things together? Isn't it weird that they don't have stabilisers for the left side shift key? I can't believe they don't provide any diagram or anything to show how it's supposed to look.

My map is a modified version of this http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/88e52a4d19305e6b4a98a5a04fadd52a but with punctuation on combos. That part's a work in progress

Having backspace as a combo is interesting, it'd certainly force me to make less mistakes when typing. Probably

Y'all posting Pain27s today without sharing your keymaps should be a crime lol.

I kind of wanna build one...
