While I’m particularly looking for chords (ex: if jkl; are all keydown at the same time then send the space keypress) I’d be happy to hear about your keymapping approach in general. E.g. how do you organize your layers, have you needed to custom compile anything, mapping choices you regret but are too hard to change now, etc.

I got my first ergomech board recently. I’ve got the background to flash the board manually and code everything in C. But before I go down that very deep rabbit hole, I wanted to see if what others had done/learned.

Personally I’m not planning to go full asetniop with cords. I think I just want a handful of chords to go along with layers.

    I like DES for mx and it works well for combos as well. You can buy a set from Asymplex if you have the cash. Or order them from JLCPCB in MJF which is also pretty nice. You can find pre spued files for that on GitHub if you search around

      I’ve considered getting Chicago steno but they’re so darn expensive lol. You think they’re worthwhile?

        I got mine used and in the bag of shame raffle 😅 AUD to USD makes them pretty expensive. They are really nice though. If you’re on the fence I’d get some printed in MJF and use those for a bit. )Then you’ll fall in love with the profile and be forced to buy the real deal hahaha )
