The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

How much do you tent your split build?
Ah it's tented automatically at ~21deg

Long time no post to reddit: Daily driven boards
I haven't actually posted to Reddit for a while (other than comments that is), and I thought I should. I've been daily driving these 2 boards for a bit, the Fissure v3.2 and the Fusion. Both boards are fully BLE, and of course following my tradition on using the embedded steno engine.

You all are crazy! Where did you start?
There have been a lot more progress in the last years, but when I started like 3 years ago, I basically looked through r/MK for 3 months or so, and imagined how the layouts would work (yes you can just print them out but), picked a balanced point between simplicity and extensibility, and designed my board. After that it's just constant iterations on both the hardware and the key map levels.

No hand movement keyboard
I don't see many high stagger 36 keys, so self plug time. brow/jklp counts, though that's a hand wire
-
Does this exist? Kyria stagger, Corne layout, Choc spacing?
Not strictly 3x6, but the Fissure v3 does everything else.

Ergodox Ez owners, how satisfied are you?
my preferred boards are smaller—I’ve got a Kyria that I like quite a bit and am currently dailying a Fissure—but the ergodox was the board that got me started on that route, and I actually just rehomed my ergodox ez to a friend wanting to try out a split board for work :D

How you guys press vertical combo?
Keycap and a bit of practice. MBK isn't that great for vertical combos imo, the chamfer on the edge makes it feel like the gap is larger (larger gaps more misclick). I have my own design of keycaps that tries to maintain a smooth curve around the gap, and with tight enough tolerance from the printing (final gap is like <0.5mm) vertical combos feel nice to press. I haven't tried caps other than MBK and kailh blanks, but MCC seems like a nice one to try.
- Choc keycaps that are shorter than MBKs? Or maybe a smart way to modify MBK keycaps?

Cantor, Guts and Griffith Berserk-themed with MJF Keycaps
Keycaps are Blue MJF Nylon PA11 keycaps in SQDG profile by Shoggot. Had 2 sets printed out by Craftcloud who outsourced it to a different vendor. I used Cride's repo for it before realizing that they had very slightly altered the profile to accommodate their specific board so the keys are very slightly off in a way that I don't mind.

Keycaps: SQDG with SLS nylon (on craftcloud too) and 2 resin (possibly) DCJS

Are there any Stenographers here? Should I switch to Stenography?
On the desk board, it was DCJS (I wouldn't be able to find the link now) by u/shogzilla; now it's the same as the travel board. On the travel board, that is linked in the repo
What are some alternatives?
When comparing fissure and sqdg you can also consider the following projects:
chocofi - Split 36-key keyboard
cantor - Cantor keyboard, a 42 key diodeless split keyboard.
steno - Embedded steno firmware + custom steno PCBs
keyseebee - KeySeeBee is a split ergo keyboard. It is only 2 PCB (so the name) with (almost) only SMD components on it. It's only a keyboard, no LED, no display, nothing more than keys and USB.
