This is the RUclips channel for the calmcode.io project, which is all about tools, thoughts and techniques that might make your day-to-day development a bit nicer. This RUclips channel is here to share demos, as well as talk a bit about hobbies of hours. Some of these hobbies involve customizable keyboards
Mixing switches is a honking good idea
This short video is mainly here to give on protip: you can totally mix and match switches in your board. Having lighter switches for you pinkies is a great example just like adding more weight to a space bar.

Dygma Raise - almost too shiny, but useful
Просмотров 297День назад
The Dygma Raise is a split keyboard that shines like a christmas tree, but also offers a lot of configuration options while giving you four buttons per thumb. This opens up the doors to a lot of convenience, even when the vibe is a bit flashy. 00:00 So many lights 02:02 Carrycase 02:50 Thumb Layout 05:33 Bazecor 07:41 Shortcut Triggers 09:55 Fake arrow cluster 11:47 Detailed Settings 14:01 Wrapup
Ultimate Hacking Keyboard v2 - Can replace your mouse!
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.14 дней назад
The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard is my first programmable ergonomic keyboard and even after comparing it with other boards I find myself appreciating it each time that I can use it. It really shines in replacing the house as well as supporting multiple operating systems at the same time. No keyboard is perfect, but this keyboard can certainly get a recommendation to consider. If you're into MX-sty...

I've been toying with embeddings again. Part of the story is that the recent LLM course inspired me to go spend some compute credits and expose myself to some new tech again. But another part of the story is that I already had been working on something similar that needed to be picked up again. I am happy to report there's been some serious progress on that front but I figured I might write abo...
Keychron K11 Max - pretty good as an intro board
Просмотров 1 тыс.21 день назад
In this video I review the Keychron K11 keyboard. It's not a bad board, but it's also a board that won't be my main driver for the weirdest reason: it does not fit neatly on my laptop. The video has all the details. If you want to buy it, make sure that you buy the hot swappable variant. But it's a pretty good value for your money. The configurator you'll need to use for this keyboard can be fo...
Keychron Q11 - split, solid but tricky timing

Introduction to Programmable Keyboards
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.Месяц назад
Keyboards are getting smarter these days. Not only because they're getting more ergonomic, but also because they are getting more and more customisable. You can swap out switches, sure, but you can also program them these days. There's a whole world that opens up when you do this, and this video serves as an introduction to that world. It also introduces the channel in doing so. 00:00 Downsides...
Love your videos @CalmCode :) They are very informative and the natural tone is very refreshing :) Makes me want to dig more into keyboard DIY :)
Ever type on a KB with Cherry Silvers? They have initial 30cN of force and 45cN of actuation force. The weight of my hands/fingers inadvertently presses the switches so I ended up swapping them for Blacks.
I do alot after effects and prefer linear on space bar tactile on all the others
You might like an acrylic prime_e. Also the greater ergo benefit of an alice isn't the angles, but in the extra thumb keys. You could also look into a 60% with a split spacebar.
Realforce Topre keyboards come with variable weights for ergonomics, 45g for the index fingers, 35g for the outer ones, and 55g for the escape key.
Interesting, got a link?
U would love vim lol
can you show the black split curved keyboard in a video?
I will, it's a Glove80 by the way. It is *very* good.
I did this and it just work! I've put some really creamy switch and rubber in WASD to reduce the lenght and the sound, and then I've put a TTC Frozen Silent Switch in Space Bar (It's completly silent now!), Shift, Enter, Backspace, the rest are a regular creamy (Gateron Milky Yellow V3).
Happy to hear it!
*honk honk*🦆
Cool
Take my upvote Dygmate! You snagged a great keyboard!
Thanks. I should say though that I am moving closer and closer to column staggered keyboards now though. In the end, these simply feel more comfortable to type on. Who knows, I may try that defy someday.
@@calmcode-io I love my Defy. Use it Daily, even for gaming. When I did was made a handwired board from a design I found online to help with the transition before I had my Defy.
Thanks for the review! By the way, you can dim the light using the preferences menu on Bazecor, our configurator software 😊
Whats the brand of the white low profile keyboard i like that one
Your the perfect guy to ask this Can the two space bar be configured differently? Example: Left space bar - Enter and Right space bar - space
Certainly! But this feature is not specific to this board. Most (cheaper) keychron boards (make sure it lists the via support) can also do this.
do you have a keyboard short cut for dragging and dropping?
How do you mean? You can mouse move on an item, click and hold it from the keyboard and then mouse move away. All of this can be done from the keyboard but I find that the UHKv2 has much better mouse support. My previous video on that board even gives a demo.
Probably the next step is ortholinear split ergo 🤓
There are some steps in between, but yeah, totally!
Hello, you already find a better solution for the hrm? I have a lot of accidental activation of the hrm on my keychron. Qmk web also seems like have no option to adjust the timeout.
Afraid not. You could consider learning QMK to see if there something custom there. But alternatively you may want to investigate other boards on ebay. In particular the devices from ZSA all have amazing software.
Very nice, I didn’t know VIA supports MT
Cool example, how did you do the sorting exactly in using sklearn?
It's really just the base call to their label propagation estimator. This estimator receives the 1000-ish items from lancedb and is there to sort these results.
@@calmcode-io So you just used the classifier and then sort by classifer first, then by distance?
@@calmcode-io This seems like a simpler version of what Classifier Inverse Selection is doing in the DR_RAG paper
Really cool! I just wish this were a full-fledged tutorial 🥲
Soon!
Don't wanna be negative but, I think, It's not really a game changer. Just vim motions and a little bit of keymaping with Via will get all things I want.
If VIA gives you all you need, by all means keep on using that! I would say though that VIA won't get you the same level of mouse control, it may not give you split/tenting stuff and it also does not allow you to do adjust the timing of the hold/trigger presses. Also stuff like tap-dancing, where a double-tap triggers something else, is also something that isn't supported in VIA. VIA is great if it fits, but it is also a bit limited in my experience now that I've used other boards.
@@calmcode-io I understand. Great content, keep it up 👏
Thanks for your review! Really enjoyed it, and it showcases Agent very well.
My goal is to focus on that with all keyboards some more. The configuration software determines _so much_ of the keyboard experience that I am very surprised why other reviews don't spend the time on it. Thanks for making the keyboard!
Nice video, but I get a bit of seasick with that crazy steep perspective ;-) not a real problem -- content is far more important than shiny lights in the background and such. P.S.: It is really not that easy to get the camera straight above the keyboard. I have a shelf where I can mount the camera holder, but most won't have.
Yeah I'm using the Elgato webcam for keyboard recording which is why there's some light shake. My attitude here is that I prefer to just make some calm recordings and not overdo it with a rig. I have a small desk in my attic, so this approach seems to be a nice 20/80 situation for the time being.
Good to see your video again haha.
More to come!
Putting enter on the thumb cluster is quite convenient. If you search for a comfortable split ergonomic keyboard, with an easy UI allowing to also add code, you can try the glove80,
Hey, thanks to god that i found this video. Me is like from apple keyboard(>10yrs) to q11 to nuphy and now seeking another one. I can feel you 1000000%! Q11 and nuphy are good, but just not perfect fit to my habit. I tried for about 2 months and finally failed to get use to it... Now i wondering if low profile version of corne or sofie would work. And happy to listen to your comment. Thx bro
Its hard to say I am afraid. I guess I've never tried corne or sofle because I always wanted to be able to get proper company support. But the stuff I see on Reddit do make it very tempting to check out. Be sure to check ebay for deals. A voyager may be appropriate for you and that board also comes with amazing software.
It seems you have fall into the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards. The perfect keyboard with all the features you want does not exist. You must select just some of them. You can still have two keyboards, one at your desk and one on the go. The difference between voyager and ultimate hacking keyboard are huge. Do you know what do you want exactly ? If you want a split ergonomic keyboard with an simple ui to add tap, double tap, hold, tap and hold, you may be interested by dygma raise.
I actually own a Dygma Raise! Got it second hand from Ebay. And yeah ... that perfect keyboard ... it does not exist for sure. The best software I've experience sofar is the stuff that comes out of ZSA. The moonlander and voyager both come with that and I have yet to find a better GUI.
Great video! Is it possible to increase the number of possible macros? That and double tap are the things that would benefit me most.
Not that I am aware of. I also miss the double-tapping.
@@calmcode-io it's called tap dance, and it should be somewhere in VIA (can't really check, because my keyboard doesnt support via lol), but if it's not, then you could try VIAL, its very cool and has this feature in it, as well as everything VIA features as far as i know.
Next to the G-key there's room for another macro-key for the index finger. I wish it was possible to modify the pcb. I love thumb keys and extra index finger keys are also nice. First keyboard that I know of with an extra index finger key (next to the N-key). I would want 2 extra index finger keys between the G and H and the B and N, totalling 4 extra index finger keys. Pity that the programmability is not so great in this case.
It's my impression that keychron is investing in it's own keyboard configurator that might support more configurations, but yeah, as is ... it's not so great unless you're willing to learn QMK and flash the keyboard yourself.
Really great video. I would have loved to hear the history behind and what the abbreviations QMK and VIA stand for. Maybe a follow up video for that and how that come to be mainstream
Have you tried the ZSA Voyager? Your videos are very insightful. Thank you!
Yep! That will also totally make an appearance here.
I use caps keys for esc because i use vim
HRM to me suits better on split ortholinear keyboards but cool to know that you figured it out a way to use it on a regular keyboard, keep going bro!
Nice showcase of open source firmware. Keyboard is pretty portable so you can take it and use on company workstations to use personal layout all the time. Gonna buy one of new keychron wireless boards with qmk/via to replace my dead k8 non-backlight. Having option to flash third party firmware is great way to extend amount of years keyboard will be usable.
so glad I found this review. Definetly not buying the Q11 now. Ill wait until they create a low-profile split.
Their K11 board (see the next video) might be a fair deal in the meantime. It is not split, but it does give your thumbs 4 buttons in total, which is plenty for most coders.
@@calmcode-io I unded up ordering a UHK doing the unboxing on my twitch stream today. @jujocoCS
@@JujocoCS Ah that board is also totally solid. I also own one.
@@vincentd.warmerdam1422 awesome! so glad to hear
Staggered split is defective by design, sadly. Staggered layout requires fingers to constantly move sideways, and this sideways movement depends on correct sideways position of both halves. When you have a split keyboard, the position of two parts constantly changes and so you can't reliably have the same position of keys. Also, if you place the halves straight in front of your shoulders, your pinkies won't be able to reach the keys as easily If you want real a split and not just rotated/ergo board, there's no point in not going ortho as well, preferably with keywells if your pinkies aren't too long And because your hands can only reach their own parts, you need more thumb buttons to compensate for inability to do one hand operation of the entire keyboard, otherwise you lose functionality when it comes to productively using keyboard and mouse at the same time And the numpad layer on a staggered layout is just disgusting. While again, you can't do a one handed number entry like you could with the normal keyboard
You’re not the first to suggest the tool, but does that tool allow you to set the timing? Vial was not used in the marketing of the board, VIA was. Got a guide/link?

I'd like that, to see your journey on optimizing keyboard, I'd also like to that for myself Unsolicited Advice: Also make a blog post (so it's easier to follow at my own phase when I try to do it to my keyboard) P.S. No cost required, you could just use Bear Blog and share that to your channel
The plan is to make some more vids and then find the time to add them here: koaning.io/posts/keyboards
Double tap is available in QMK, which you should definitely get into to customize your board. If you’re already looking at keycodes, then QMK is a small additional step. Not available on Nuphy I think because it’s Bluetooth, but looks like you got some other boards laying around that might be wired.
Is there a simple guide where I could read more about this? Every time I look around I keep missing the obvious quickstart it feels like. j Note that the nuphy board can also be wired, so that should work I think.
Hadn’t realized you could program in home row mods via Via. Really cool
Yeah, it's pretty neat! There are some downsides though, mainly that there does not seem to be a way to configure the delay/timeout for detecting when it is a tap vs. a full press down. Other boards/software packages offer more support but I am hoping that VIA will support some of this some more in the future.
