Maltron Layouts

[fire]

@squizzler

Because the 01 has irregular keycaps I could also implement the keymap in firmware but in the immediate future would be restricted to blank keycaps and a crib sheet, like I am doing now in fact.

To solve this problem I printed labels to put on the blank keycaps - look!

Printed clear labels for my keymap!

I used a labelmaker to print labels on clear tape so I could have labels on the translucent keycaps! Really pleased with how it turned out: [IMG_20191222_130523_compress42__01] I really like my keymap a lot. Having keys designated for the arrows is great, and using three of the right-hand thumb keys along with one of the keys above is perfect.

My question, though, is how you would modify the RSTHD layout to fit either the Model01 or the Atreus 2. I’d be very interested to see.

@squizzler

I would be interested in a Malt style set of keycaps for the 01 family … is that something likely to happen?

I believe the current keycap sets for the Model01 were decided through a vote - maybe @jesse and kaia will do another vote for the successor of the Model01, which will be called the Model100 and will be out in a year or so.

But we don’t even have a RSTHD-style layout for the Model01 yet for anyone to potentially try, use, or vote on!

Obviously, you, or someone, would need to design one and experiment with it first, for that to be a possibility. The layout you’re talking about doesn’t even exist yet!

If you have one in mind, please post it - maybe it’ll catch on!
