Hi everyone! I’m planning on getting a split keyboard to replace my planck, but I don’t have a soldering iron.
What are my options ? Ideally I want:
- DIY, no soldering involved
- QMK firmware
- 40% format
The keyboard I’m leaning toward is the let’s split as it’s a planck split in two halves, but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can’t.
Could always buy a soldering iron - it’s not like they’re extraordinarily expensive (but pre-built is…)
It’s not about the cost, it’s more about my current situation, storage space, and besides this specific use-case, I have no use for it (and I dont like buying stuff I don’t use).
There are non-solder options available here: https://typeractive.xyz/
I just got the 5 column Corne keyboard kit
but it seems that you need to at least solder the keycaps yourself, which I can’t.
solder … keycaps? Surely you mean switches :D
Anyhoo, Moonlander? https://www.zsa.io/moonlander/ - hotswappable switches, ortholinear-ish, split and qmk support
