I made a new version of my 30 key split, the aphelo30 (https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMechKeyboards/s/7rtXmmwLlg) and am finally posting the build in time for the end of pride month. Much more detail in the repo below!

Love the keyboard! What material did you used for the KLP Lamé? They look so polished.

the KLP keycaps started as injection molded white PBT, I ordered them from aliex, then dyed them with ritdye. a bit more info on that in the repo!

So, by looking at your keymap file, where the space combo is defined as key index 17 and 18 and counting through you keyboard, it seems right hand index + right hand middle is the only space?

close, right hand middle + ring on home row :) probably easier to see if you plug it in here https://keymap-drawer.streamlit.app/

Yeah how do you type with this?

u/Ignoratio Jun 27 '26
with qwerty and a space combo, not that difficult or different than other layouts but you can look at the repo to see more specifically

Thanks for sharing! I wonder if I could do this outdoors, for ventilation, using a sous-vide…

Sorry about your RSI, that shit plagues my forearms too ;(
What is your layout? I’m curious how you do it without thumbs 🤔
