I go to Melbourne a couple times a year, for work. It’s where our HQ is, and it’s good to have time in person with my colleagues.

I went down a narrow but deep rabbit hole this last weekend, after my partner’s five-year old (external) Apple keyboard crapped out on me.

I wanted to build a keyboard for a long time, to prepare myself for building two for our Twins when they're old enough, but always struggled with figuring out what I want to build. I mean, I have the perfect keyboard for pretty much all occasions: my daily driver is the Keyboardio Model01, which I use for everything but the few cases highlighted next.

Lately, I've been porting Kaleidoscope to keyboards that happened to land on my desk for one reason or the other. Keyboards such as the ErgoDox EZ, the Atreus, Splitography, and most recently, KBD4x. In almost every case, I ran into weird issues I couldn't immediately explain, where the symptoms weren't search-engine friendly. There wasn't anything obviously wrong with the ported code, either, because the same code worked on another board. Figuring out what went wrong and where was an incredi...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
It's been a while I wrote a progress report, yet, there's so much to share! Many, many things happened in the 18 months since the last update, some good, some bad. This report will not be a completely accurate and through account of those months, but rather a summary. Lets start with the most glaring fact: Chrysalis is still not ready for a beta. But it is closer than ever was before.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
It's been a while I wrote about what's happening with Kaleidoscope, and I've been putting off writing this post for so long, that I can't ignore it anymore. I've been putting it off because a lot of things happened, and many more are under development. It's a huge amount of work, even to summarize. Fortunately, there's a lot of good stories to tell.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
I have changed jobs recently, for a whole lot of reasons I'm not going to ramble about publicly, except one of them: I wanted to spend more time hacking on keyboard firmware, Kaleidoscope in particular. I had a huge backlog - still do, but less so -, and many, many things that needed to be done, as soon as possible. Not to mention I enjoy working on it, so I made arrangements in order to be able to do so.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
I have worked with embedded hardware before, a long, long time ago, near the turn of the century. But it was a brief exposure to this world, and even back then, I was using hardware much more powerful than what the keyboards I work with today have, the Atmega32u4. My prior experience did not prove all that useful in my recent work. There were lots of assumptions I made that were flat out wrong, lots of surprising things I had to discover. Some of these things are obvious in hindsight, some I ...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Writing this post is completely unplanned, there was no development I planned to write about today, but this morning, I sat down to attempt implementing a request made on GitHub, to explore how hard it would be.

It ended up becoming something a lot more than that, and of the whole ordeal the biggest take away for me is that we managed to cut the length of a scan cycle in half again.

It has been a while I wrote about keyboards - or anything at all, really -, so it is high time I do that, because there has been a lot of progress made on various fronts.

The past few weeks were quite a challenge, but we are slowly settling down at our new place (where I now have a proper desk, with enough space for all the gadgets, whee!), and Chrysalis has been moving forward nicely too, with some major changes all around the place.

I'll be going into more details, but first, lets see how things ...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
The past month has been eventful in many ways: we've seen the Twins three times on ultra sound, made huge progress towards moving to a bigger apartment, and last but not least, tremendous progress was made on Chrysalis. It even has useful features now, so much so, that an alpha release was tagged too. You can see a demo video just below, and try the pre-built binaries yourself, no Kaleidoscope-powered hardware required, either!| asylum.madhouse-project.org
As promised last time, I will be sharing Kaleidoscope-related developments more often, and as it happens, there are interesting news to share today!| asylum.madhouse-project.org
In the span of two weeks, we made a few big leaps forward with the Kaleidoscope firmware, and it is now possible to remap keys on the keyboard without using any software on the host. We can just do it on-the-fly using nothing else than the keyboard. While this is pretty awesome, it's not the most convenient thing, and has its share of limitations. Yet, it has its uses. Among others, it is one of the best examples to show how all the small pieces fit together, and can be used to build somethin...| asylum.madhouse-project.org

Last time I talked about firmware stuff, I mentioned that there's a new package coming my way. Well, it arrived, and that set the course for the next week or two at least. And things unfolded rapidly. We've implemented some very important pieces of the puzzle, solved problems we have not noticed before, and I created plugins I was commissioned to write. All in all, the past two weeks were eventful, and easily the busiest and almost the most productive part of my firmware work so far.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
A recent conversation on twitter, and the mention of the Das 5Q reminded me how different people are. A lot of people seem to be on the opinion that per-keyboard LEDs are so very useful for notifications, which is something I very strongly disagree with. Back when the 5Q was announced (and I'm not going to link to it, because it is easily one of the silliest ideas I've seen in recent years), I was baffled by their focus on using the LEDs for notifications from the host.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
So I had the Keyboardio Model 01 prototype for over a month now, and a lot has happened since the last progress report, ranging from having a colleague re-solder some of the problematic parts of the keyboard, through fixing a lot of bugs in the plugins, to Unleashing the Horde.| asylum.madhouse-project.org

This past week I have been waiting for a package. Not just any random package, mind you: this one came from the US, and was special in a number of ways. The eagerness to have it in my hands was huge, so huge that I started to plot its route on a map, trying to estimate where it will land next, when, and where it will go after. This was a reasonable success, but once the package arrived to Hungary, the excitement increased by a tenfold.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
I have been playing with an UHK prototype lately, obviously not on any of the hardware bits, but on the firmware. It's an interesting thing, poking around in the brain of a keyboard, especially when its the third, very different kind of brain.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
For the first time, I will be talking about the keyboard.io only. No ADORE or ErgoDox news to report this time, and I'm typing this on Dvorak too (a tad tired and short on time to write on ADORE). And gosh, there is so much to talk about! Remember the last time? So much has changed. Nothing is quite the same, really. The old multi-key library is now laying dormant and abandoned, but a new one arose, and was claiming attention. It started as a full-blown firmware, but I was quickly persuaded t...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
The layout I use, and the one I'm aiming for are rather unconventional in a few respects. One of these is that I make heavy use of various multi-purpose keys: one-shot modifiers, tap-dance-, and leader keys. I have read, and continue reading a lot of keyboard and layout-related material. Blog posts, researches, theorycrafting about the most efficient layout, and a lot more. And reading most, I often feel frustrated, because almost all of them are written with the same old keyboard design and ...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Just like last time, the focus of this post is keyboard.io and ADORE. There are plenty of news to report on both sides! A lot of progress has been made on the arduino front, to make it possible to have the behaviour I desire on the Model 01 - only the Leader key is missing, and I have a good idea about its implementation, too. On the other front, ADORE has seen a huge update again, aimed at reducing pinky use, and balancing the hands out. We'll see after this post how that worked in practice.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Today I will write more about layouts and the keyboard.io than the ErgoDox, though most of the testing has been made on it. This time, I took a big step: having procrastinated on it for a very long time, I rearranged the number row, along with the symbols. To make the transition easier - for some values of easy - I started to use the same number/symbol layout on my base layer too. What can I say? It's painful. I have used the same layout ever since I first laid my hands on a keyboard in the e...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
As with the last blog post, I'm writing this on ADORE, to collect another heatmap worth of data. It is still awfully slow, but the changes I made since the last time feel better so far. Nevertheless, this post will be as much about other things, as about ADORE. This marks the day I start tagging these posts with the new Ergonomics tag.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
I'm writing this on ADORE, to collect enough data for a new, ADORE-based heatmap, and to practice the layout. Most likely, this post will take the longest time to write. Nevertheless, I will persevere, for science!| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Since the last update not much has happened with the layout. There were some minor changes, but nothing spectacular. Instead, I've been doing a lot of research, or at least, trying to. The focus is now on the ADORE layer, and I'm collecting data, analyzing the layout, and similar things. For example, here is an updated heatmap of my current, Dvorak layout:| asylum.madhouse-project.org
It's been a while I posted an update about my ErgoDox journey, and there's a lot to talk about, now that I'm back from vacation. Today, we have two main topics: trackballs and heatmaps. The two are not connected, it just happens that I write about both at the same time.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
In the past, I usually updated every week, but this last one took longer, almost two weeks. Not because things finally settled down, no. It's never over. Lots of things are happening on the keyboard front, a good amount of experimenting was and is being made. The changes this time are less radical, perhaps, at least as far as the base layer is concerned. Other layers... well, they did see some bigger updates.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Although just six days ago it seemed I am done doing major changes to my layout for a while, and the base layer will not be touched, I was wrong. It's never done. There is always something to tweak, to make things even more comfortable, and fit for my hands and usage patterns. Nevertheless, while there were a number of updates to the keyboard, the path I started on with the ErgoDox continues, and I'm at a stage where it's no more just a keyboard. It's something bigger: as I started paying mor...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
In the past week and a bit, my layout did not change much at all, neither behaviour, nor key location. It appears I reached a state where I feel sufficiently comfortable. Therefore I will be talking less about the keyboard now, or how I am taming it, and instead focus on something I am experimenting with: creating my own alphanumeric layout.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Ever found yourself in need of entering binary codes rapidly? Ever wanted to use all ten fingers to do so? Ever felt your SuperCoder 2000 too limiting, by only having three buttons? We heard you! With this layout for the ErgoDox EZ, you will be able to tap in binary at an unparalleled speed and accuracy! Efficiency never seen before!| asylum.madhouse-project.org
For the past week, I have only applied tiny tweaks and bugfixes to my ErgoDox layout, it appears that I have finally arrived to the part of the journey where the core remains the same. Because the changes - apart from a new, experimental layer - are all very small, this time, I will not only talk about the ErgoDox, but also compare it to my previous keyboard, the TypeMatrix 2030.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
It has been over a month of receiving the ErgoDox EZ, and it has been my daily driver at work for most of that time, after the first weekend, which I spent with it at home. In this time, I learned a lot about my typing habits, my preferences, and about the keyboard too. In this summary you read now, I will try to not only describe how I use the keyboard, but the whys too, the process that led to the setup I have right now.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Another week almost gone, and there are a lot of progress to report on the ErgoDox front. I tweaked my layout further, but there are less changes this time, and most of them under the hood: not how the keys are laid out, but how they behave. Mind you, there were still some minor changes here and there.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
I am now using the ErgoDox EZ as my main keyboard at work, and am loving it. Sometimes, when really frustrated, I still switch back to my TypeMatrix, but that is happening less and less. As of day 22, I am consistenlty reaching 40+ WPM, with 95%+ accuracy. But I make a lot of mistakes, so it is time I slowed down, and work on accuracy for a while instead.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Been using the ErgoDox for almost a week now, and it is starting to get better! I rarely have to consult the printed layout anymore, but I make plenty of errors still, mostly because I am trying to pay attention to type with all ten fingers. The layout itself (pictured below) feels close to final, although only the base and the Hungarian layers are tested well - the rest, I have not used all that much yet.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
So I have been playing with the ErgoDox some more, and things are getting better! I have put together a visual aid now, which is a great help. Touch typing is still slow, because I never properly learnt it before. Modifiers are also awkward to use, I may have to relocate them closer to the thumbs - or at least, move SHIFT closer, as that is what I use most often.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Today my ErgoDox EZ arrived, I flashed a Dvorak firmware a couple of times, and am typing this on the new keyboard. It's slow and painful, but the possibilities are going to be worth it in the end.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Last Friday, I compiled a list of keyboards I'm interested in, and received a lot of incredible feedback, thank you all! This allowed me to shorten the list considerably, two basically two pieces. I'm reasonably sure by now which one I want to buy (both), but will spend this week calming down to avoid impulse-buying. My attention was also brought to a few keyboards originally not on my list, and I'll take this opportunity to present my thoughts on those too.| asylum.madhouse-project.org
Even though I spend more time staring at the screen than typing, there are times when I - after lots and lots of prior brain work - sit down and start typing, a lot. A couple of years ago, I started to feel pain in my wrists, and there were multiple occasions when I had to completely stop writing for longer periods of time. These were situations I obviously did not want repeated, so I started to look for remedies. First, I bought a new keyboard, a TypeMatrix 2300, which while not ergonomic, w...| asylum.madhouse-project.org
