vial-gui VS ErgoDash

> made the customization much more comfy, without the need of recompile the fw

Get someone to write a profile for https://get.vial.today/ support.

They are making them because people keep buying them. Turns out most people actually like typing on them.

Less drastic than reflashing could be to reset to factory defaults. Note that this will wipe out any Via/Vial configuration and other configuration (e.g., RGB mode, RGB colour settings, and NKRO setting).

At all possible? Yes, but probably not from Via. I don't know about Vial (it requires special versions of the keyboard firmware).

This is the second one I’ve built but it’s for someone else, this is too many keys for me lol. The case is printed in a super nice matte green then it uses Boba U4Ts that sound and feel super nice. The keycaps are just a placeholder while I test the board, I’m certain they’ll put something that matches. The board is fully compatible with Vial and runs on a USB-C Pro Micro.

VIA doesn't have any support for configuring tap-dances, nor does the QMK Configurator. Your two options are either using VIAL https://get.vial.today/. Or utilizing the feature directly in QMK source code https://docs.qmk.fm/#/feature_tap_dance.

This firmware update will make it compatible with open source software called Vial... https://get.vial.today/

This was my exact scenario, and I ended up flashing my keyboard with Vial QMK. It’s a Via-like interface that allows you to edit additional QMK settings like the tap-hold timings.

I'm looking to build and use the right half of an ErgoDash keyboard as a fully programmable gamepad. I'm currently using an OLKB Peronic and while it's serviceable, I'm driven to find/make something better. So before I dive head first into this, does anyone have any experience with ErgoDash keyboards? If there's some fundamental flaw I'm missing or if there's a better option out there, please let me know.

Could someone please assist me or point me to somewhere I can get assistance with building/diagnosing an Ergodash. https://github.com/omkbd/ErgoDash

I'm building (another) ErgoDash and I'm considering adding only underglow lights (with RGB WS2812B LEDs) and not backlights. However the documentation wrapes them together and I'm not sure whether the additonal components - a MOSFET and a 1k Ohm resistor - are needed for the underglow. Anyone knows? Can there be any harm (i.e. shorting something) in trying without them?

If you want a compact split with plenty of keys, I would recommend the ergodash, which is open sourced and can be bought prebuilt.

ErgoDash (general info https://github.com/omkbd/ErgoDash)

I flashed the firmware in this repo for both sides. Then I connect the keyboard into my computer and start Via. But it keeps searching for devices... BTW, I see some posted that Ergodash is supported in Via but cannot find the firmware in the official document here . Was it removed or something else?

I started with an ErgoDash [1], purchased because my Microsoft/Logitech split keyboards had worn out, and at the time I couldn't find a replacement with normal (not low profile) keys. It has a few additional keys compared to the Iris. I have one at work and another at home, and to make them more similar to the broken keyboards I 3D printed angled bases. I use it for 99% of my typing.

I should probably have tried a Kinesis Advantage 2 first.

I'm partway through printing/assembling a Lagrange keyboard [2] (I'm currently stuck working out how to order the circuit boards), which is similar to the Dactyl. I will add the F1-F12 keys to my print, as they're the only thing I miss -- if a shortcut in my IDE is Ctrl+Shift+F10, it's nice for it to be that, not Ctrl+Shift+Fn+0.

I made [3] to help others see what's available.

What about ergodash. Has an additional inner column, and an extra couple of thumbs.

Hello, building an Ergodash, I have some questions concerning flashing the pro micros:

I was warned by a colleague that this was a rabbit hole, then warned by people online, and I'll pass on that warning now.

I tried to help by updating and better-presenting an existing list of ergonomic mechanical keyboards: https://aposymbiont.github.io/split-keyboards/

I'm using an ErgoDash¹ with a 3D-printed tilted stand, but I intend to assemble a Lagrange² "soon".
