Yes, it’s mechanical. Choc V1 20g Nocturnal switches, and I use it daily at work typing for a living. 26-key Unibody ʻākohekohe

    So, am I reading your linked keymap right? Chording in two axes, 4 layers (in addition to Shift, Ctrl, etc.), and several keys using tap-hold?

    I am incredibly impressed. Have you considered becoming a multi-instrumentalist?

    I’m always impressed by people using these incredibly small keyboards. I’ve never been able to get accustomed to using anything lower than 68% for a daily driver.

    How do you switch modes? Like, activating nav or symnum layout?

    Or how do you even use the [shift] key, while it’s primarily bound to [R] ?

      Holding the highlighted red thumb key(s) will activate layers. So left thumb is nav, right is symnum, both is fun.

      The shift on R is only used for shortcuts, and acts as r when tapped and shift when held. For typing I use the two sticky shift combos on ring+middle homerow.
