I also started with the choc reds. And it was like a workout for fingers.
Then I switched to pro reds and they were great, but a little heavy if you like to use combos.
Now I am using purpz and I like them, but I still sometimes hit the wrong key and activate them.

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
How did you laser cut them? Do you have a cutter or is it possible to order silicon laser cutting?
Try to narrow down where the problem is.
First use tweezers to connect the two switch pads together and see if it outputs the key.
This way you can test that the PCB works.
If that works, try the same with the contacts inside the hotswap socket.
If that works, try switching the hotswap socket.
I don’t think the sweep has diodes. But if it does, check if the direction is correct.
Amazing guide. I binged it a few weeks ago and then followed along to build my keyboard.
I put brackets as combos of pointing and middle finger.
On the left half the homerow combo is for (. On the right half, it’s for ).
And the other symbols are on a layer. I optimized it it to make common programming symbols easy to type.
And I found that practicing typing quickly on speedcoder.com really helped me.
At first you have to think about what key to press to switch the layer and then what key to press to get true symbol you need.
But after a while, your brain learns the combination of movements.
So you just express the intention of a symbol and your fingers execute the symbol.
No, as far as I know phages target bacteria. So it’s rather an alternative to antibiotics.
Yes there is mouse key support. It’s a PR that hasn’t been merged yet and probably won’t be for a long time.
But Urob maintains a regularly updated zmk fork that contains the mouse PR.
It also has a lot of other useful features.

In addition to what others have mentioned:
This looks awesome! How did you embed the magnets? It seems like there are no holes…
And does the keyboard rattle around inside? Or is it a pretty tight fit?
Amazing. Thank you for creating this community here.
I haven’t been back to Reddit since the blackouts started and the only subreddits I miss were this one and one other one.
So I’m happy we have a new home.
I also appreciate and fully agree with the way you handled the move and your decision making.
Thank you for being honest, transparent and considerate.
Next step is to move all my posts from Reddit to here.
Options exist for all three of them.
For a trackpoint version, checkout the buzzard. I also recently added beta-level support for trackpoints to zmk. So you can build a wireless trackpoint split keyboard.
I am also working on a corne clone with trackpoint support.
You can come to the zmk discord pointing-devices channel to discuss the topic with more people.
