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.
This is inspiring! I have thought about how to modify the key labels to match my set up; now I will get a set of translucent keycaps when available. Great job getting everything aligned nicely. For me it would be a plus if there was a way (via Chrysalis, I am not a programmer at all, zero) to control the intensity of the LEDs per key, as well as color because I would prefer to keep the standard keys for letters, and it appears that the intensity of the light is much higher with the translucent keycaps.
Someone asked for more details on how I did this - I used a Brother labelmaker with clear tape and just printed the labels. Then I cut them out and stuck them on the keyboard, which took a few tries to get them situated correctly.
Weirdly, my labelmaker doesn’t have the entire ASCII character set, but it does have a bunch of random symbols, so I had to improvise.
That actually looks very nice. I’ve you’ve loaded christmas lights, fire, or digital rain please (consider) make(ing) a gif or short video and post it.
That looks amazing and very neat. Now the big question… it’s been just over a year since you posted that. How well did the labels last? Did some start rubbing off the print, did some labels come loose?
I guess it shouldn’t matter too much. If printing new labels are a simple and quick process, you could just print the needed labels and stick them on again. Good for the next few months.
