Keycaps






  • kbrenders - Upload your freeform keyboard-layout-editor design, or select a case and keycap profile and modify our provided template. We'll email you a high resolution 3D render of your design in 2 hours or less.

Keymaps

  • KeymapDB - Database of keymaps for programmable keyboards

Firmware



QMK

  • https://docs.qmk.fm - Quantum Mechanical Keyboard, is an open source community centered around developing computer input devices. The community encompasses all sorts of input devices, such as keyboards, mice, and MIDI devices. A core group of collaborators maintains QMK Firmware, QMK Configurator, QMK Toolbox, qmk.fm, and this documentation with the help of community members like you.
  • https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware - a keyboard firmware based on the tmk_keyboard firmware with some useful features for Atmel AVR and ARM controllers, and more specifically, the OLKB product line, the ErgoDox EZ keyboard, and the Clueboard product line.













QMK Configurator

  • https://github.com/qmk/qmk_configurator - an online tool used for easily creating firmware files for keyboards supported in qmk_firmware. The tool is located on https://config.qmk.fm. The QMK Configurator allows simple keymap creation and saving via .json keymap files, and generates appropriate firmware files for flashing onto selected keyboards.





Via

  • VIA Usage Guide | Keebio Documentation - a desktop app that talks to your VIA-enabled keyboard and allows you to remap keys on-the-fly, as well as toggling layout options, programming macros, and controlling lighting.


Vial

Remap

  • Remap - Remap allows you to find, build, set up and customize your keyboard quickly and easily in Web Browser.

Nuga

  • Nuga - Application for controlling NuPhy® keyboards. A simple and user friendly app that allows you to control keyboard backlighting via USB wire. Replaces the missing official application for macOS and Linux.

Keyboards

Long Boi

Hyper7

Split






  • https://github.com/MReavley/Slice36 - 36 key ergo split keyboard, designed around the Seeeduino Xiao platform. Inspired by the Corne, Ferris, Ben Vallack's videos and countless hours of perusing reddit and kbd.news, but ultimately this has been done up from scratch largely as an exercise for myself. The layout was generated through experimentation with scale drawings on my ipad, although emphasis has been placed on aesthetics and compactness.

Jabberwocky

  • The Jabberwocky Keyboard – NoPunIn10Did - a nontraditional Full-Size layout. It has room for all 104/105 keys typically found on a standard ANSI or ISO board, including a full number pad. For the Dexterous Jabberwocky (available as DIY kit or standalone PCB), the number pad sits to the right side of the rest of the keys, similar to a more traditional keyboard. For the Sinister Jabberwocky (available as DIY kit, standalone PCB, or CNC edition), the number pad sits to the left (southpaw layout).

Chorded

  • Art of Chording - Teach yourself stenography for free. Use steno with Plover to type faster and more ergonomically than on a keyboard.










Piano


DIY

  • GOLEM - Step by step guides for the beginner keyboard enthusiast about keyboard building.
  • Keyboard Builders' Digest - a blog and weekly newsletter on DIY mechanical keyboards. A hand-picked selection of features from a keyboard enthusiast's perspective





  • Ergogen - a generator utility for ergonomic keyboard layouts, including plates, cases, and even PCBs. Everything's configured in a text-based (YAML, JSON, or JS code) input file, which you can then convert to DXF drawings for outlines, OpenJSCAD scripts for 3D-printable cases, and kicad_pcb files for (unrouted) PCB templates. You just paste your config into the textbox on the left, click the button, and your results will show up on the right. Piece of cake.

Layouts

  • WP: Keyboard_layout - any specific physical, visual or functional arrangement of the keys, legends, or key-meaning associations (respectively) of a computer keyboard, mobile phone, or other computer-controlled typographic keyboard.








Dvorak

  • WP: Dvorak_keyboard_layout - a keyboard layout for English patented in 1936 by August Dvorak and his brother-in-law, William Dealey, as a faster and more ergonomic alternative to the QWERTY layout (the de facto standard keyboard layout).


Colemak

  • Colemak - modern alternative to the QWERTY and Dvorak layouts, designed for efficient and ergonomic touch typing in English.




  • Colemak Mod-DH - introduces a minor modification to the Colemak keyboard layout, designed to make typing more comfortable. The resulting layout is commonly known as Colemak-DH.

Tarmak

  • Tarmak - provide stepping stones from the standard QWERTY layout to Colemak[eD] by moving only 3-4 keys per step. Each step brings at least one important key to the home row (notably, E-T-R-O-I) and only the rare J key is misplaced in the process. If you're brave and impatient, you may of course skip steps to customize your progress.


Carpalx

  • http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/carpalx - Save your carpals and reach typing guru status with your own keyboard layout, such as the fully optimized QGMLWB layout. Alternatively, use your power for evil and create a carpal-breaking TNWMLC layout to embarass office prima donnas and punish sluggish workers. And TNWMLC is the only layout with its own line of Brazilian clothing.


RSTHD


BEAKL

  • BEAKL - Balanced Effortless Advanced Keyboard Layout, is a radical, evolving theory and observations that strives to find the optimal efficient, ergonomic keyboard layout. The result is a series of progressively improved layouts as new discoveries and models are continually updated into the theory.


Engram

  • https://github.com/binarybottle/engram - a key layout optimized for comfortable and efficient touch typing in English created by Arno Klein, with open source code to create other optimized key layouts. Soon you will be able to install the Engram layout on Windows, macOS, and Linux or try it out online -- currently a pull request is under review by the Keyman community. An article is under review (see the preprint for an earlier description and preliminary layout).

Soul

  • The Symmetric Typing Project: Soul Layout - The Soul layout is heavily influenced by Colemak. It attempts to keep as many of the good design features of Colemak as possible, while making use of opportunities afforded by using the symmetric typing system.
