For any keyboard lover like me: this little guys are the most valuable things in my setup. Ortholinear keyboards from http://olkb.com I can't recommend them enough. They are fully programmable and comes in kits for you to finish mounting. The red one is a planck and the other is a preonic.

I'm using dsa keycaps from pimpmykeyboard and the switches are gateron blues.

They just opened a new massdrop for the planck, these are already assembled and ready for use. Check it out at https://massdrop.com/buy/...

P.S.: I have nothing to do with the project and I'm not getting paid to post this. Just love them and want to spread the word. Hope someone love them as much as I do.

@croccifixio

Just found out that they don't come assembled in this drop. You will have to solder the switches to the board and that's it. Sorry for the confusion.

I thought keyboard porn wasn't allowed in here! I need them all

They look a little like Dr. Wiley.
They're cute!

Awesome!

They look amazing, though

@StefanH probably because they don't care about where are you from... I mean... In Italy we use qwerty keyboard, in France is qwertz keyboard if I don't mistake... With those keyboards you can program your own keyboard... Maybe a "abcdef" keyboard if you wanna to! Lol

@R1cc4rd0 france : azerty ;)
qwertz is in Switzerland

@StefanH actually, we can define layers. Up to 32 layers I think. Take a look in my previous config. You can see something like Ent/Shf, this means that if you tap the key it will register ENTER, but if you hold, it will apply the SHIFT modifier. There are many more functions like this in the firmware, like the tap dance (tap once for X, tap twice for Y).

@StefanH just edited my comment. Take a look. I thought that It was going to be difficult to get used to it when I first bought it, but when you can define every aspect of the layout, and make it comfortable for your coding style, it actually is pretty awesome.

My typing speed improved and my hands don't even move from the typing position (I don't have to move them to get to de numpad or the directional keys). I know it isn't for everyone, just my two cents here.

@brunohcastro that looks like a nightmare of a learning curve, but also so very useful.

I don't know if I would love it or hate it.

@Ashkin It really looks like that, but when you make your own rules, it really gets pretty easy. I love it and can't see myself without a programmable keyboard right now.

But you're right. You'll need to invest some time in defining the layout and getting used to it. I took about 3 days to finish my layout and about one week to get used to it (to get typing as fast as I did in my previous keyboard). Don't regret that though, it was way faster than learning Dvorak.

Funny thing is that I think that the preonic (the larger one, with 5 rows) has way too much keys, I don't even use the top row. Just assigned the Fn's keys there and forget they exist most of the time.

For those who need more keys, I recommend the Ergodox. It uses the same controller (same firmware) but it is a split keyboard. Also incredible but pricey. http://ergodox-ez.com

@jackhumbert just +1'd this rant! He is the owner of olkb.com and creator of the planck keyboards! I think he just joined devRant!

Welcome and thank you for such amazing keyboards! I'm honored!

@StefanH the mouse mode is very useful. I use mostly on my laptop. It has acceleration control (I use 3 levels - 0, 1 and 2) so you can adjust the movement precision.

Very convenient to avoid that touch pad or moving your hand around. I browse and get around menus and stuff like that with it. Not so good for things like image editing, of course.

@croccifixio !!!!! THAT'S AWESOME MAN! Thank you for letting me know! I hope you are as happy with your new planck as I am with mine! Now, just take it easy experimenting with new layouts, I lost almost two weeks playing with mine
