Making your keyboard work for you! When shopping for a new keyboard you may have heard that you want to have a keyboard that is compatible with QMK, VIA, or VIAL. These are three different programs that allow you to modify the assigned keys on a keyboard. This is one of the major advantages of using a custom mechanical keyboard and one that I feel is criminally underused. Making small adjustments to your layers can allow you to tune your keyboard to your exact specifications. For example, I always swap the position of left control and caps lock. I’ve always felt that caps lock was a waste of such a valuable space. For those of you that read some of my earlier articles, you’ll know that my first mechanical keyboard was a Happy Hacking Keyboard. As you’ll see later on, my personal layouts are heavily inspired by this keyboard, even going so far as to mapping my backspace to the pipe key on nearly every single physical layout, yes including tenkeyless. Today, I hope you can take away...

There was a misunderstanding on the quantity of LCD's needed and the supplier sent 1000 LCD screens instead of 2000, but we're going to keep getting everything assembled while they make the rest of our order. Since we can use the first half to start completing orders, we've asked the case manufacturer to give us the first half of that order as well. This means we'll have to do two batches of shipments because we want to start getting these out to people. The first half should be complete in the next couple of weeks and then we can start shipping them out and the second half should be finished a week or two after that.
All told it's looking like the first half will be landing on people's doorsteps in mid to late September with the rest following up most likely at early October. I'm going to do my best to work with Logistics to work out an order joined shipping, since I think that's the most fair.
As always, thanks for your patience and if you need to change your address or want to cancel please contact Support so they can get you sorted out.
The Ergodox is so crazy for most people, whenever people see mine, they give a quizzical look as if to say, "why??"
I think the same thing when I see normal horrible staggered membrane keyboards with the facepalm qwerty layout. Why??
