# Keyboard Collection

I like ergonomic keyboards. This is a repo where I can dump my keyboard stuff.

## Primary - Atreus (technomancy kit)

![atreus keyboard](./docs/images/atreus.jpg)

| Switches | Keycaps | Layout |
| ---------|---------|--------|
| Outemu Silent Gray | Currently borrowed from Ergodox + random grab bag caps from Signature Plastics' grab bag | QWERTY + 2 layers for MapleStory |


I actually bought this [kit back in 2020 from Phil](https://atreus.technomancy.us/) and just finally got around to build it in 2024. It's one of the last kits he sold before the Atreus found a [home at Keyboardio](https://shop.keyboard.io/products/keyboardio-atreus). 

 I really like this board. It's small enough to that I could put in my back pocket. I don't because I don't want to get beat up. It sports a layer where a full numpad is under your right hand and similarly-mapped layer for the F-keys.
 
 This was the first keyboard where I re-lubed each switch. It feels really great to type on, very little friction with the proper amount of feedback and zero sound to annoy my office mates.

This board can be configured using online [QMK's Configurator](https://config.qmk.fm/#/atreus/astar/LAYOUT_pcb_up) Files for this are in `./atreus`.

My husband helped me develop layers 3 and 4, which are designed to be used for keybindings in a MMORPG called MapleStory. I am not really a gamer but we decided to try this game to get my feet wet and to have a shared interest.

## Backup - ZSA Moonlander Mark I

| Switches | Keycaps | Layout |
| ---------|---------|--------|
| Cherry Brown | Default Black | QWERTY default |

I rocked the Moonlander Mark II for a while. It's a good "big". I think my main complaint ended up being the cable clutter. The two halves were joined by a TRRS connector and the left side had a USB-C connector to the PC.

Left this board mostly stock, the default layout was good nuff for daily driving. Once I finally got off my butt to build the Atreus, I tagged the Moonlander out.
