Latest build: Dilemma Max
  • It's a split keyboard so you can rotate the two halves and put them further apart as you like. I noticed there was some confusion about how the keyboard should be orientated 😅

    I commented another picture with how it would sit on the desk.

  • Thanks! This was actually the only keycaps set I had laying around that wasn't in use 😄 But I'm a Colemak user myself, so 90% of the caps usually don't match my layout anyway and I never look at the keys. That said, I'm thinking about replacing the caps with a uniform XDA set (the current set is NP-profile) with labels.

    I do have multiple keyboards, but I'll try this one out for gaming, since it has a num row which most of my other boards haven't.

  • This will be for sale very soon, it's not listed yet, I was just able to get it a bit sooner 😄

    The Elora is also undergoing the last few steps before going for sale, I'm also waiting for it and can't wait to try out the module system!

    Dilemma Max by BastardKB; It has an integrated RP2040 microcontroller chip and diodes and underglow leds came presoldered, so soldering the per-key LEDs and switches and assembling the trackpad and case took me close to 2 hours.

    I'm still looking for a display to use on the left side.

    [Vendor] Corne Choc Low Profile Split Ergonomical Keyboard created by foostan. Built by kriscables
  • I think a giveaway is alright, sale I'm not sure of.

    To be honest a standard build like this from a vendor does not add anything at all. Since it's a very well known keyboard with a standard plate case. It would be a different case if this was someone's first build.

    And as said the promotional posts got really out of hand in the old subreddit and after it closed it started to appear in picture channels of almost every keyboard related Discord server, where otherwise pictures of fresh and new builds would be shared.

    I get that vendors want to promote, but only seeing the same type of posts and not seeing a single user build of one of their products raises a red flag for me.

  • What's the next premium EMK to look out for?
  • I haven't received it yet, I'll make a post with more thoughts when I built it 🙂

    But for me a premium keyboard should have an aluminum and/or a very well designed case. Whereas the Keyball boards uses a "simple" acrylic sandwich case. The trackball housing looks very well thought out tho.
