Hi I am interested in getting a split ergonomic keyboard but have been back and forth a lot between the Keyboardio Model 01 and Ergodox EZ Glow. From what I have read the Keyboardio is the winner on ergonomics but with some associated downsides. (Key caps are custom so costlier to replace and have…

The current version of Chrysalis is quite usable, I believe. It has some rough edges, there are things which could be made easier, but you can rearrange keys and change colors. You can’t make macros (yet), only simple chords like Alt+Ctrl+Del or Shift+Tab and similar. There are a fair number of peop…

Thanks for the reply. Its reassuring that the main developer of Chrysalis is so engaged with the community. Looks like the software should be good for my needs. I don’t use macros nearly as much as I should so while it will be nice when the support getting added for now its no issue.

I’ve tried to reproduce the issue and haven’t been able to yet. Though the next thing I was going to work on is better error handli…

There are two 0.50 versions. One downloads as Chrysalis-0.5.0+94.dmg (for MacOS), the other downloads as Chrysalis-0.5.0.dmg (no “+94”). The +94 version is problematic and gave me the same issue others reported. The plain 0.5.0 version is great, does not have that issue, works perfectly. The proble…

Brief testing this morning seems to indicate that mensore is correct, the plain 0.5 version seems to be working correctly. Note the +0.94 version that was not working was taken from here https://github.com/keyboardio/Chrysalis#chrysalis Windows EXE Latest The standard 0.5 version I took from here …
