I'm too new, have no idea what is ortholinear lol. Will check out Splitkb

This depends largely if you want ortholinear or not. Splitkb perhaps.

A friend brought me some splitkb Halycon Lily58 parts from Germany. I just finished assembling it. It looks nice, but I'm already very used to the Corne (which is smaller). So, I'll keep using that and give this one to another friend of mine. :D

yh almost the same i would like to get a couple of splitkb i got in mind gravity45, palmslave ... need to save some money 😮‍💨 go check @Hottyhottea @takashicompany and take a look 🫶🏼

Wish it were HE and I’d get one!

You wouldn’t download a car. Corporate fearmongering, 2003. Me in 2025: Okay, but I did source an open-source split keyboard off the internet, solder it together like a caffeinated raccoon, flash some firmware, and now I’m typing this post with it. Also featuring: a fully open-source trackball that looks like it could control a satellite. 🛰️ ✅ Piantor assembled ✅ Ploopy Adept spinning like a dream ✅ Every keypress a small act of rebellion Huge thanks to @beekeeb_shop for the beautiful Piantor kit, @ploopyco for the smooth trackball experience, and of course @splitkb @keycapsss for supporting the weird, nerdy joy that is DIY input devices. This desk setup didn’t come from Amazon. It came from a dozen tabs, five forums, three tracking numbers, and just enough soldering fumes to see into the Matrix. The keyboard and trackball are open-source. Now I’m wondering… what’s next? Open-source monitor stand? Open-source coffee warmer? Drop your best suggestions — I’m too deep to turn back now. #OpenSourceEverything #MechanicalKeyboard #SplitKeyboard #Piantor #Ploopy #Trackball #DIYKeyboard #keeblife #CyberpunkVibes #OpenHardware #BuildNotBuy #YouWouldntDownloadAKeyboardButIWould

You wouldn’t download a car. Me in 2003: Bet. Me in 2025: Just sourced an open-source keyboard ⌨️ from the internet, and I’m gonna build it myself. Piantor split arrived — controllers incoming. Big thanks to @splitkb @keycapsss for making DIY feel like #cyberpunk magic. #OpenSourceEverything #MechanicalKeyboard #SplitKeyboard #DIYKeyboard #keeblife #piantor #OpenSource

There is 42keeb in Czechua, but I just import shit from China. There's also mechboards in the UK and splitkb in netherlands

Keycaps, switches, MCUs and electrical components I usually get from AliExpress. Cables locally. Acryllic parts and PCBs from jlpcb. You can buy partial kits from places like beekeeb, splitkb or mechboards, though

Keyboard hobby unironically just a total victory of capitalism, to see a market that was absolutely dogshit 5y ago become something absolutely amazing today is insane. You can basically insta order a splitkb nowadays???
