  • Deskmat under the keyboard

    Tape and/or foam mods in the case (will change the pitch of the sound, which might disturb less)

    O-rings, but these will change how they keyboard feels. I didn’t like them

    Foam inserts for keycaps - like o-rings but foam. never tried them

    Lubricating the stabilizers - should mitigate some space and enter key rattle

    If your keyboard supports hotswap, new switches are a more expensive option.

    Edit: The person who invented markdown WYSIWYG text editors is on my shit list



  • I have as much of ansi international as I can fit on the keyboard, and then I have a separate layer where -=_+[]{} are ‘under’ 90opl;./ respectively. I have left, down, and right arrows south of m,. and the up arrow on a tapdance thing, merged with right shift.

    I’m perfectly happy with building my own keyboard, and I’ll check out your list too. I’m basically looking for a sofle with one or two extra keys on each thumb row. I want the numbers at the top.


  • I’m a full time software developer. I built and laid out my own Sofle V2 and it’s been great. Everything for programming is on the top layer except for the brackets, which are on a second layer. I only have one problem with it, and it’s that I couldn’t fit all the dedicated arrow keys on it, and I’m missing the up arrow which is on a tiptap format with the right shift key. I’m currently waiting for the Elkhorn keyboard to happen, or if I get tired of waiting I’ll probably order a dactyl or something that has one extra key on the right hand.
