Get magnet implants in your fingertips and you are now part of the keyboard.

Don't forget about the 40% and smaller form factors, for if you appreciate efficiency, novel designs, and have a larger than average brain.

Nice collection! The rev 1 preonic was my gateway drug to customs

I’m not too knowledgeable about non-US geared things, but I’d definitely post in the stickied help thread and someone who knows more will be able to help you out!

Ah, nice, that’s a good idea with function keys! I needed an F5 today and I was like… eh, I’ll figure that out later. 😅 Turns out, they are currently mapped to my left hand home row, but yeah, that is less intuitive.

I use number row also for Function keys. So in a 40% (planck) the qwerty row serve three purpose and it's just too much for my brain. Though a proper keycaps would greatly help with the adjustment.

Right, the models and pricing are kinda clear but what is the timeframe in which you managed to collect and/or create all these?

I definitely thought this at first, but you really do adjust after a bit. The trickiest part is remapping your brain to enter the braces and such instinctively. But after a bit, that feels pretty good, and I do feel the advantages of having a smaller layout for less hand movement to type those symbols. I also have a numpad under a layer, which is cool on a small board (also possible on a staggered board, but feels really weird with the stagger).

I’ve tried to move to a 40%, and that is hard for me, because I use the number row all the time for app shortcuts and just day to day typing, so it’s tougher to adjust to having that under a layer.

Now I'm finding excuses to buy new boards because it supports ZMK + Bluetooth 😔

I like the click but not the sound when the switch bottoms out. Fitted O-Rings which fixed that problem.

There's the BM50 from KPrepublic, I don't own one but I do own 2 BM40's the quality is real good imo.

Once you learn to use an ortholinear keyboard the standard row staggered boards feel so weird, there's no reason for that stagger. Column stagger feels even better than ortholinear. This video explains ortholiner keyboards real well.

Can you recommend me some white ish ones pls?

When I say "someone on the internet is wrong," but I'm secretly just enjoying the typing experience.

Yeah I’ve been doing it it’s just most don’t seem to have £ symbol

Look for ISO keycaps on Amazon or Aliexpress!

Learned to type on those in the mid-1990s. Our high school had not upgraded the equipment for the typing class. Loved the feel of those keys.

I think the practice/trying has more to do with it than the switch, especially at such low speeds. 10-20 mins of practice a day could net you rapid improvement and easily reach the 90s.

Ah okay, do you know any places to get uk layout keyCaps (ones that have the £ symbol)

FL ESPORTS MK870 but you’ll have to get your own switches and keycaps as it’s a barebones kit.
