Wireless Chocofi (toast.ooo)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

Sourced from Beekeeb, using vanilla Miryoku for keymap, totally wireless with ZMK + MIP displays. Using MBK blanks and Choc Robins, with Netdot Gen 10 magnetic connectors for charging.

Compared to the Piantor, the innermost thumb buttons are a bit more offset but all thumbs seem to be closer which I prefer. Solid layout, may be my favorite.

They're really fun. I like them especially for things like:

  • battery life
  • charging status
  • is my Bluetooth connection working
  • are the halves talking to each other
  • what Miryoku mode I'm in (fun, not really functionally helpful)
  • what Bluetooth slot I currently have active, and if other slots are cleared or paired to a device. Miryoku tracks 4 slots.

Oh, one funny downside to this board is that because it's so absurdly energy efficient, I've found a few battery chargers (e.g. Anker) don't detect it as enough current draw to charge them lmao. Not a deal breaker, just amusing.

I've seen this emoji first : ✊✊.

+1 to the MIP display question. Is it a nice!view or something else?

I assume you are using nice!nano's as well?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Correct, socketed nice!nanos with socketed nice!views

Did you use the case off beekeeb? I'm building a chocofi soon and I'm using the case on the github and I'm trying to figure out what size screw I'm meant to use to assemble the case

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It is indeed the Beekeeb case, maybe the part list of the build kit on the website lists the size?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I just emailed them asking about it, since I couldn't see anywhere that mentioned them beyond (screws) on the site

Do you know if I can use the MIP displays on an nRF52840 Sweep? (it's a SuperMini nice!nano clone)

[-] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I'm not sure, although if it's truly a clone, why wouldn't it work?

Ergonomic, split and other weird keyboards

Rules

Keep it ergo

Posts must be of/about keyboards that have a clear delineation between the left and right halves of the keyboard, column stagger, or both. This includes one-handed (one half doesn't exist, what clearer delineation is that!?)

i.e. no regular non-split¹ row-stagger and no non-split¹ ortholinear²

¹ split meaning a separation of the halves, whether fixed in place or entirely separate, both are fine.
² ortholinear meaning keys layed out in a grid
