elephant42 VS dracuLad

Elephant42 and KLOR – but 1 less pinky key

Maybe the elephant42 if you can make do with over less key in the outermost columns 😬

Elephant42 – 4 thumb keys

The spacers I used are 8mm brass standoffs because I used the same layers as described in the Elephant42 repo but if I only used a 3mm switch plate, I'm sure you could use 6mm standoffs.

Fwiw I'm currently daily driving an elephant42 with a custom layout that does not use the outermost column. Given its pinky stagger and 4 relatively easily reachable thumb cluster, I could envision it to be an option.

Current is elephant42 with Boba U4s and YMDK milky fog keycaps.

There are few presets in the elephant42 for the RGB. Is there any way to define colors on my choice. For example if I want to select the RGB color for each key individually myself? Thanks

draculad

Just built my first split - the [Draculad](https://github.com/MangoIV/dracuLad), by /u/MangoIV.

It's listed on the creator's github page https://github.com/MangoIV/dracuLad https://github.com/mangoiv/draculad/raw/master/pictures/rev2/fr4_glamour2.jpeg?raw=true

You can find the list of components & build guide here: https://github.com/MangoIV/dracuLad

I really had the exact (!) same dilemma and went for a Draculad (https://github.com/MangoIV/dracuLad).

I most commonly see them positioned for right-thumb access. The DracuLad is one example.

I suspect that the Draculad might be a good option. https://github.com/MangoIV/dracuLad

Shootout to /u/MangoIV for creating this thing. buy info

Fifi or DracuLad are both very interesting options
