Hard to adapt anyways… but good to know the correct term :+1:

PS for brazilians that want to buy Ergodox: it got taxed, had to pay extra 1000 reais (250 dollars) on it, so be prepared.

It’s great to hear buzz around Ergodox EZ, but for those who are in the market, keep in mind that hand size is important with split keebs. I am running a Minidox (Zealios), and my ‘main’ thumb keys are the center key of the 3, not the outermost. Ergodox thumb clusters are a massive reach for me—not comfortable.

I have posted my layout elsewhere in the forum previously, but for those that run QMK, I’m a huge fan of home row mods and navigation, so don’t be afraid of IGNORE_MOD_TAP_INTERRUPT.

Layout is here, for reference: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/tree/master/keyboards/minidox/keymaps/dustypomerleau

Other thing I’m struggling to get right is the tenting. Couldn’t find that perfect tilt yet.

Most keycap profiles have a home row angle of 5–7°. A good starting point is to level the home row by adding roughly that same amount of tilt, and then add roughly an equal amount of tent (maintaining the relative tilt). From there, salt to taste. Keep in mind that steep tenting means that gravity will begin to slide your hands off the keeb. I personally feel that tenting should be low enough that gravity still works to keep my hands on the board.

[edit] I don’t mean to overgeneralize, given there are so many keycap profiles (perhaps you are on DSA or another ‘flat’ home row)—but I think starting with a low amount of equal tent + tilt is a sound starting point.

it took me a while too but i go super low in the external top corners, mid in the thumbs and high in the internal corners if that makes any sense

That’s pretty much what I ended up with too.

Looks like I’ve found the perfect Mac-compatible wireless keyboard!

But they ship directly from China and I’m worried about that new virus! :man_facepalming:

Might wait a few months then order…
