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

      You just have to find a layout that fits your usecase - this is my Planck layout Planck layout

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

      I’ve been switching back and forth for a couple of years now, I use an ortho at my desk, my laptop keyboard on my commute and a staggered 60% at home (still can’t get used to gaming on a 40% ortho.) The staggered vs ortho switch doesn’t bother me but I use home row mods on my 40’s and that constantly throws me off when they are not available.

      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!

      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.
