Skeleton-Dactyl-Mini VS zmk-config

If you have access to a 3D printer, I would recommend handwiring a Skeletyl or Scylla.

if you are looking for a sculpted/keywell design I would start with something like the https://github.com/sanderboer/chonkybois or https://github.com/Bastardkb/Skeletyl then work on refining your needs from those ideas.

There's these made by Quentin, which can be mirrored for Skeletyl/Cnano.

Awesome. Do you think single-key RGB would be an issue? Would it add too many cables? I'm currently looking at the Skeletyl, but am intimidated by the four additional cables per LED.

If you have access to a 3d printer you could print something like a skeletyl or a dactyl manuform and then handwire it with some diodes and wires. That's the cheapest way I can think of.

I'd throw BastardKBs Keyboards into the mix as well as he's open sourcing all of his designs, for instance the Skeletyl or the Charybdis

You can take a look at the Skeletyl. It's a 5x3+3 design. Basically the upper three thumb keys of the one you posted and with 2 keys less on row 3 and 4.

One other thing I wish I knew way earlier: give combos a chance. I thought I wouldn't like them, but now literally all of my symbols are on combos. Inspired by urob's zmk config https://github.com/urob/zmk-config

This is wireless with ZMK. I think peripheral side encoder is already solved, though not in the mainline yet. I'm using https://github.com/infused-kim/zmk-config-sofle, but it is not being actively maintained anymore, probably https://github.com/urob/zmk-config would be a more up to date option.

You can try https://github.com/urob/zmk-config instead of the official Zmk. It has some helper functions combos and loads of other stuff.

Yeah a good layout is really important, there are two layouts that I would recommend: miryoku urob

Can you help me out? I try to implement urob's hrms like here: https://github.com/urob/zmk-config/blob/main/config/base.keymap and I want hold to result in layer shift instead of a regular mod key. I was led to believe that behavior-hold-tab can take any keycode. Is this the case?

I can share urobs that’s does two thumbs really well urobs config

I recently discovered urob's ZMK config and ZMK fork, which has a lot of cutting edge, awesome improvements that have not been merged into ZMK yet.

Like this? https://github.com/urob/zmk-config
