cantor-remix VS miryoku

Not specifically what you're looking for, but https://github.com/nilokr/cantor-remix is a 36 key diode-less open-source board that you might be able to get some concepts from. Keep in mind, if you don't wire a switch, then nothing breaks. You just need enough pins on the controller to handle the number of switches, so you could go a controller with less pins on a smaller board.

Cantor Remix is the 36 key variant, but it's designed for choc switches: https://github.com/nilokr/cantor-remix

If you wanna DIY like I did the Cantor Remix github has a link to the buid guide for the original Cantor that is basically the same thing. The Remix repo will have the gerber.zip that you need to print the PCBs. I went through JLCPCB for my prints and they did a great job.

I added it on a [nilokr/cantor-remix: Cantor keyboard by diepala with minor changes](https://github.com/nilokr/cantor-remix) keyboard though, it worked nicely.

Cantor Remix

Is this a request for gergoplex alternatives? If so, the cantor remix is excellent & has a more aggressive pinkie stagger. I built two of them - one for home, and one for work.

Split columnar ortho 36key keyboard w/ choc Very similar to a gergoplex Built a second Cantor remix along with my main one. Selling it as I don’t need a secondary. Soldering isnt professional but shouldve run into issues with it https://github.com/nilokr/cantor-remix Build -PCB x 2 -choc robins clicky switches -MBK Choc Low Profile Keycaps w/ homing keys -blackpill MCUs socketed -Aux cable included need a usb c to connect (not included) comes flashed with Miryoku layout https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku looking for 130. Can sell a magnetic usbc cable along with if your looking for one

I've seen https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku but it doesn't appear to be easily modified.

A 75% keyboard still require quite a lot of wrist movement, which is not ideal in your situation. It's better to learn to use layers, you could still have all the function keys and such with a 36 or 34 keys. With with such a small keyboard you don't need to move your wrist while typing. A Corne or even a Ferris Sweep can do the job with a proper keymap, like Miryoku.

If you prefer to have semicolon on Base you'd substitute custom Base, Nav, and Sym layers, swapping semicolon and slash, with https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku/discussions/85.

The Miryoku layout [1] has a dedicated number layer which turns the left half into a number pad. Practical (once you get used to it) and portable.

It's understandable if some people would prefer a larger layout. I wouldn't argue people should be using smaller keyboards.

It's "I don't mind moving my hand to hit the key" vs "I don't mind holding down some Fn key to hit the key". (Or with F1-F12 on Macbooks, you need to both hold down a Fn key and move your hand).

For an example of "36 keys ... how", I think the popular miryoku layout is fascinating. https://github.com/manna-harbour/miryoku/tree/master/docs/re... -- Often, mnemonics for particular keys aren't all that complicated.

Except for those who use Miryoku, which is not optimized for software development, probably every single person here will have its own custom keymap.

The keyboard on the other desk is a wireless Corne low profile kit I built up a while back using a couple nice!nano controllers and their low power display too. For general typing I don't have much of a problem going back and forth between the two, but the Corne is only 34 keys and I use a complex layout called Miryoku to get access to most symbols and functions I have by default on my 360.
