New keeb feeling so good I don't want to leave it. I'm going to go from having my worse favorite at work, to having my new favorite at work. ![image](https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/file/9cf75771-e3a5-428f-a3a9-0e32fda0e037.webp)

My Keyboard Has Sublayers… and It’s Insane - YouTube www.youtube.com
- linkarzu has a way to navigate his entire mac using a hyper key. Everything looks so tight and polished, also a lot to remember! Lucky he has a system of mnemonics that make it easy to remember. His setup is very Mac focused using mac only apps, so this would not work for me, though I’m sure I could get something similar on linux. He did mention Kanata which is cross platform. What I do # [1] I use a far different system that is fast loose and easy. On every system I run I have 9 workspaces that let me put 9 applications, I can easily move apps to different workspaces and have a side by side if I need. The core of what I do is terminal, web browser, and chat. Those go on workspaces 4,5,6, whch are home-row keys. If I’m running obs, that is on 8, steam goes on 1. but I have some freedom to move. Sometimes 2 will be an image editor or a video editor, sometimes something else all together, but I can quickly go to each app. What I like from Linkazru # [2] I do like his layered approach. I run a 42 key keyboard so things can get a bit cramped quickly. And when thinking in mnemonics you only get 26 letters in the alphabet, but prefixing these with another layer this number goes...

hollow knight home row layout

I just made it past 100% in my main hollow knight run, so now I will allow myself to get silksong when it comes out. I did this with a little bit of YT guidance, but mostly just figuring it out. I only just discovered the ⭐ ReznoRMichael hollow-knight-completion-check [1] which got me an extra 2% for a few items I must have got and not saved on, because I was sure I had them. Controller # [2] Hollow Knight is a game that can be played with keyboard or controller, You can use analog stick for movements, but they just translate to dpad, there really are no analog moves in the game. This makes it ripe for playing on pure keyboard. I really favor controller when there are more than one analog (throttle, brake, steering for example). On controller I’ve switched to only using d-pad as I feel like it gives me the most crisp of controls. It is really easy to miss a pogo on analog by hitting slightly left or right. My Keyboard # [3] My daily driver keyboard is a custom built 40% monoblo...
My Firs Keycaps with Symbols
Finally got my first set of keycaps with letters! These low-profile keys look perfect for customizing my keyboard setup.
First Self-Designed Keycaps and Symbols
These are more keycaps from my very first set that I designed and printed myself. Some of the symbols are a little wonky, and a few were too thin to print cleanly.
My First Printed Keycaps Are Here

New-caps-for-porta-john

Today I dropped some new caps in the porta-john. I need to do a bunch of posts on zmk and my journey building the porta-john, I’ve been rocking it for at least two weeks now pretty solid and I am absolutely loving it. More on that later. KLP-Lame-Keycaps # [1] The model of the caps are KLP-Lame [2] by braindefender [3] , they are super rounded and smooth. They look really good on camera and feel good to the finders. [4] I printed these at home on my ender3 s1 pro with a black and purple silk filliment. I printed all 42 at once using a Printing 42 keys at once [5] technique. They do have just a bit of a rough texture that you can feel on your figertips. I printed these on super quality .12mm layer height, while my last set was printed on draft quality .32mm layer height. They look crazy different in print quality with the lines of the new caps barely showing, the feel isn’t nearly as drastic. The Result # [6] Check out the final shots as I set up the porta-john with these swee...

Printing 42 keys at once

I’m working on creating some gcode to create a whole set of key caps in one print, it is getting tedious to print them one at a time, and my past experience with my printer proves that printing a bunch of separate pieces increases the chances of failure. I don’t want to end up with 42 keys that are half done and a ball of filament. figuring out the coordinates # [1] To figure out the coordinates I printed one key cap, and manually jogged the printer in position to knock off the cap, then sweep it out of the way. [2] print head in position to knock [3] Position before the knock [4] Position after the sweep gcode # [5] I opened the gcode split it into start.gcode, end.gcode, and part.gcode. start.gcode # [6] ;FLAVOR:Marlin ;TIME:1488 ;Filament used: 0.265511m ;Layer height: 0.12 ;MINX:105.708 ;MINY:101.231 ;MINZ:0.12 ;MAXX:113.512 ;MAXY:118.776 ;MAXZ:17.04 ;TARGET_MACHINE.NAME:Creality Ender-3 S1 Pro ;Generated with Cura_SteamEngine 5.8.0 M82 ;absolute extrusion mode ; End...
