Hi! It is my first post in this community in Lemmy. I just wanted to show my ortholinear KB. It is a KpRepublic BM40 (plank-like) with Cherry Brown switches.
I built it 8 months ago and I love it, for every day work and for working elsewhere beacause it is very easy to carry in my backpack.
I hope you like it.
Most 40%s bind the numbers to an additional layer (think of layers like an additional shift key), for example, on my planck, I have the “lower” layer and my top row bound to numbers.
You can also do fun things like mapping “lowered” keys to number pad layout. This is also what I do on my lower layer. When I hold down my lower button, I have number on the top row and a 10-key layout where my right hand rests on the home row.
