Custom keyboard layout - Blink - 06-06-2017
I found this site to make custom keyboard layouts: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com
It exports to images, or json currently.
I'm designing my own currently, and hope to custom order a keyboard with the layout.
Here's the Minimak 4-key version
EDIT: Decided to go with modified Minimak 12-key. Check it out here!
LATEST UPDATE: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/...15a27ce9bb
All suggestions and comments are appreciated!
PS: If anyone knows where I can order custom keyboards, please tell me.
EDIT 2: This sorta works, but I can't move the keys exactly where I want: http://www.wasdkeyboards.com/index.php/products/mechanical-keyboard/wasd-vp3-61-key-custom-mechanical-keyboard.html (It's also kinda expensive)
Worse case: I can design a PCP and order it from SeeedStudio, then build a keyboard on it.

I might end up going with Colemak for the alphabet config.

I was going to build my own keyboard, but at the moment I don't have access to the machines I need to make an all metal keyboard. Linus Tech Tips also has a couple videos about keyboards that are worth a watch.

This Is one awesome site.
If I had the time, I'd certainly be busy customizing a keyboard.
My friend would love this, much appreciated.

I ended up changing my mac keyboard to Colemak, so I changed this too: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/562b4f9719ce31b308112e15a27ce9bb

I have always wanted to try out a faster typing layout but I'm too lazy to take the time to.
