  • As for your question, absolutely no clue...

    Regarding bluetooth, at which (metric pls) distance you have connection problems? I'm thinking of dipping my toes in DIY boards for a compact travel KB but I would also need bluetooth - so the problem you're mentioning could very well hit me too.

  • Thanks!

    It is QMK and VIA compatible. I need to wire it to a computer with a Chromium based browser to customize it, but it works - albeit with some connection issues with my 2013 MacBook Pro. On Windows works flawlessly.

  • You’re welcome! More specifically, ColemakDH ;) Resources:

    Actually it’s thought for touch typing, but having the correct legends helps sometimes and it’s just nice.

  • You mean the keyboard layout (Alice) or the keymap layout (Colemak)?

  • I don’t have a lot of experience with ergo keyboards, but I found myself liking this Alice/Arisu layout quite a lot. I can keep my shoulders and arms more relaxed (I’m also quite tall, so a bit more room for my arms and hands is nice…). Only downside of these Keychron models is the tall height of the board. One could use a wrist rest though - Keychron themselves sell one - but I don’t use one. I also don’t type without interruptions the whole day, so it’s ok for me. Easy enough to go back to normal/laptop keys due to almost standard stagger and key layout.

  • I think Wooting and other companies have similar offers. I am nevertheless excited about this one because Keychron does a very good job in offering polished but customizable products.

  • More choice is always better! I discovered this profile because of the Colevrak addon, which sold badly it seems and won’t be produced again in future runs - that alone makes it lose almost all the appeal for me. Let’s see how it pans out, as you say this could become a proper standard.

  • Take a look at open core legacy patcher

  • Sure they are expensive! Good news is, it looks like these designs are the very first offerings with this profile and with time a lot of options could become available (a second GB by another designer started before the first batch was even produced - MTNU 800)

  • Yeah, to me it really hits a spot where many things come together:

    • retro-inspired look with a low, ergo shape
    • double shot PBT
    • GMK quality
    • beige + orange colorway - love this combo
    • Colemak addons

    On Novelkeys there are some renders.

    Here the profile comparison.

  • Yeah I think it is a new feature of iOS 17, the manual of which seems to be still missing

  • You’re right, looking for them in Books works really bad. As another commenter said, it looks like for iOS 17 is still not available.

    On a side note: I just saw that you can look up an interactive version of the manuals through the “Tips” app. Much more user friendly and it contains everything that is in the eBook - albeit still iOS 16 even though my iPhone is up to date.

  • There is a very detailed manual with each version of iOS actually. The keyboard is explained too, including this :)

    You can find them in Apple Books (Picture in German)

  • Yes and no, I think there is an opt-out toggle.

  • That’s unfortunate! I added a third link, it seems that depending on instances the links are fetched differently. I also tried to search for the community to trigger the indexing as suggested by the sidebar of new_communities.
