Charybdis VS Aurora

I am using https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/tree/main/files/mods/tenting-stand-with-wrist-pads With the Gelpads from Ali. And are quite happy with them. Interestingly do they change after a while and don’t snap to each others, but that’s not a problem.

yep what he said. check this out https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/blob/main/files/mods/readme.md

I started my split journey by building a dactyl manuform with amoeba king pcbs. Now I use a charybdis nano because it has an integrated trackball :D

I use a Bastard Keyboard Charybdis Nano. It's an ergo 3x5 keyboard with built in trackball. I built it myself but you can get them pre built too.

Keyboard - Charybdis - https://bastardkb.com/charybdis/ - Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/x8pq5k/first_build_charybdis_mods_btu_millmax_whirst/ and stands I designed - https://github.com/Bastardkb/Charybdis/tree/main/files/mods/tenting-stand-with-wrist-pads

Most of my free time is spent researching and engineering for various open source projects. I also enjoy building custom keyboards, right now I'm rocking a Bastard Keyboards Charybdis that I hand built myself. Fun facts: I'm left handed and used to train and ride horses competitively.

Stumbled upon this keyboard while searching for Dactyl Manuform pcbs. Thought I'd share it here as well.. Also its open source : https://github.com/Bastardkb/charybdis Bastardkb website : https://bastardkb.com/charybdis/

The design is not mine to share, but it is fully open source -- one of the reasons I really respect bastardkb and wanted to build this board. You can find the files (and license) on the bastardkb github.

EDIT - Additional Info: I do usually use third-party RGB controller software to modify the backlights, I didn't realise how limited the vanilla Ducky software is in customisability when I bought the keyboard, so I use Aurora RGB for this https://www.project-aurora.com

Unless with the help of third-party projects. For example, Aurora.

It might be possible to do it using Project Aurora / git hub, an opensource 3rd party rgb middleware that tries to juggle the various proprietary APIs.

I run a program called Aurora on top of G Software to get that functionality though.

I have a Roccat Vulcan 120 RGB keyboard which has a sweet volume knob on it. Don't use the software that comes with it though. I use Project Aurora[1] to control the lights on the keys. I'm able to program color/fx/animation per key per program that has focus. It's useful if you have new software or a game you're not used to. For example, you can highlight all the relevant keys to help you memorize them.

But mainly I use it to play an audio waveform of any music that's playing. And highlight caps lock whenever it's on.

Aurora can do this https://www.project-aurora.com/

so the fn key thing but with other modifier keys is not possible to do with chroma, you can try Project Aurora

You could take a look at Aurora but haven’t tried it with the Viper.

Check 3rd party apps like project aurora: https://www.project-aurora.com/ or OpenRGB: https://openrgb.org/
