… plus figured out the basics of qmk. Will need to get it up and running with full miryoku though as this is what i use on ALL my keyboards. So if anyone can tell how i now get the full miryoku on I’d be super happy to give it a try.

Looking good! Now you just need to set the led to solid pink to match the switches.
I think i need some see through keycaps myself. I have been looking at the fully transparent ones, seems fun to see everything beneath…
The only problem with transparent caps is that the surface wears out quickly. I had a set of XDA caps for two weeks and switched back to PBT. The polished surface looks and feels bad.
I’ve seen a lot of cheapinos lately. Is it just a new board? Why this over a sweep or a corne? Just curious if you know why they’ve been popping up so much lately
honestly I just like to build them… I am somehow locked in to 36 keys now though and try to get miryoku onto it…
That’s fair lol. Is this your first attempt at a 36 key layout?
Oh no many others, some a bit over 36 keys, like piantor and revxlp… But just using 36 typically.
Chocofi is awesome, too. Also built crowboard, and a self-wired skeletyl but right side unfortunately refused to work… Need more time to look into it.
That’s sick. I think 34 keys is the sweet spot for me, having been using that for the last month or so. I plan on building a chocofi very soon though, which I’m very excited for. I’m glad you’re a fan :P
Because they are really cheap to build. Mine was about $50 USD total. Really nice way to get into ergonomic keyboards.
Are they any cheaper than a ferris sweep or a corne though? Aren’t they all open source boards?
Ferris sweep uses choc switches which Are quite expensive. The Corne is not reversible i think, making the pcb more expensive. Also, both uses two pro micros which Are more expensive than the rp2040 of the cheapino, which also uses just one.
Not very big difference, but its cheaper…
