I've been using this Ferris Sweep keyboard daily since Summer 2024. I didn't intend to fall down the keyboard rabbit hole, but it's been a surprisingly delightful experience!
This repository holds its firmware configuration.
I didn't start here, though; I first tweaked the thoughtful Miryoku layout and used that quite happily for some time. Now that I understand it all a little better, I'm dropping down to this level so that I can tinker a little more freely.
- Removed the mouse layer, for now. I'm watching zmkfirmware/zmk#2477, which seems like it's close!
- Removed the button layer, since I wasn't really using it.
- Removed additional features (boot, base, tap, extra, opposite, current).
- Removed keys I didn't use (insert, RGB, power & output toggles, scroll lock).
- Added a layer for the Sturdy keyboard layout! Colemak-DH is a very sensible default, but I'm curious what I might learn from other experimental layouts like this.
- Adding a QWERTY layer so I can let friends test-drive the keyboard more easily.
- Exploring non-momentary layer switching, since my thumbs get a little fatigued holding layer switches down.
