Nice and thoughtful video, thanks for sharing! But he calls out two tweets of him, saying that Hubermann probably doesn’t really think that way, so saying he is a clown is perhaps a bit much? I enjoy his podcast a lot, but I fully get the point that Strong Medicine makes. Nevertheless, Hubermann gives a lot of very nicely packaged advice, on how to tweak here and there to get a bit more from one’s everyday life - but those tweets are really horrendous I must say

I like Schneid Kaffee in Munich, but it’s a bit out of the city center.

That could be it, but in VIA you can actually assign bluetooth host keys in order to switch devices, so a sort of communication between main board and bluetooth electronics must be happening!

Thanks! After the few days with a light use: very confortable, nice light texture, the dished caps really work well and are visually striking. I am only slightly slower than with the almost same board (Q10) with GMK CYL that I use extensively each day, so I would say the transition is really smooth. The reason for this is the very similar height profile of each row. Still, I believe that CYL is more efficient because I feel less “trapped” in each row than with MTNU’s spherical profile - as the correct typing movements involve more vertical finger movement than horizontal, so CYL imo makes more sense. The effect is obviously quite minor and I am nowhere near to being a fast typer, so take my feedback in this context ;)

As for your question, absolutely no clue…

Regarding bluetooth, at which (metric pls) distance you have connection problems? I’m thinking of dipping my toes in DIY boards for a compact travel KB but I would also need bluetooth - so the problem you’re mentioning could very well hit me too.

Thanks!

It is QMK and VIA compatible. I need to wire it to a computer with a Chromium based browser to customize it, but it works - albeit with some connection issues with my 2013 MacBook Pro. On Windows works flawlessly.

You’re welcome! More specifically, ColemakDH ;) Resources:

Actually it’s thought for touch typing, but having the correct legends helps sometimes and it’s just nice.

You mean the keyboard layout (Alice) or the keymap layout (Colemak)?

I don’t have a lot of experience with ergo keyboards, but I found myself liking this Alice/Arisu layout quite a lot. I can keep my shoulders and arms more relaxed (I’m also quite tall, so a bit more room for my arms and hands is nice…). Only downside of these Keychron models is the tall height of the board. One could use a wrist rest though - Keychron themselves sell one - but I don’t use one. I also don’t type without interruptions the whole day, so it’s ok for me. Easy enough to go back to normal/laptop keys due to almost standard stagger and key layout.

I think Wooting and other companies have similar offers. I am nevertheless excited about this one because Keychron does a very good job in offering polished but customizable products.

More choice is always better! I discovered this profile because of the Colevrak addon, which sold badly it seems and won’t be produced again in future runs - that alone makes it lose almost all the appeal for me. Let’s see how it pans out, as you say this could become a proper standard.

Sure they are expensive! Good news is, it looks like these designs are the very first offerings with this profile and with time a lot of options could become available (a second GB by another designer started before the first batch was even produced - MTNU 800)

Yeah, to me it really hits a spot where many things come together:

• retro-inspired look with a low, ergo shape
• double shot PBT
• GMK quality
• beige + orange colorway - love this combo
• Colemak addons

On Novelkeys there are some renders.

Here the profile comparison.
