Planck, Holy Panda's and Canvas in a maple case. I need to get a new cable.

I tried ortholinear for a month at home and a week at work but it never clicked for me. Still a great build.

Is that a Lamy Safari?

Very nice. Is that maple case custom-made? Where did you order? Thanks.

That is a beautiful Planck

I'll admit that it looks cool, but man...I just have a hard time seeing how that could possibly be functional.

Thank you, it was my first try at hand routing a case. I wish I would have gone a little bit deeper but the jig and router bit I used limited the depth.

I never understood how a keyboard with such few buttons can get work done 😅

[–] ZuCo@areality.social 1 points 1 year ago

Layers, lots of layers. I generally only use 3 layers on a regular basis and once you get used to it it's hard to go back for general typing.

Very nice! I also have a Planck at work and at home. You should also go and check out /c/fountainpens!

I don't know if MechanicalHeadPens has been created as a community yet, maybe I'll create one unless someone has a link.

I have a Preonic at home that I swap to occasionally but every time I open a game I always reach for my staggered. The Preonic also has Kailh Box Navy Thick Clicks so it's not conducive to gaming at all in my opinion, I loved the switches when I first got them but I've grown out of them.

I tried searching, and it doesn't look like there's a MechanicalHeadPens community yet. The only thing that comes up is your comment. Both of my Plancks have Gateron Black Inks. I tried it on the first one, and loved it so much that I just used it on the second one that I made!
