Bastardkb - Dilemma build guide

[@xboi3607]

this was a fun first time build, got it for Christmas and was scared at first but it ended up being alot of fun :)

[@bastardkb]

I'm glad to hear that ! Have fun using your new keyboard

[@newdev76]

It's so cool, only i miss hotswaap shockets, but i understand that you want all compatibility.

[@bastardkb]

Thank you ! I have a version 2 in the works (on the features/2.0 branch on github) with per key RGB, so you maybe could modify it down the line for hotswap

[@shminz6093]

Wow what a beautiful keyboard! Even though it isn't wireless and is only 6 keys wide (I rock Corne with nice!nano v2), I'm very very tempted to purchase your pre-assembled kit

[@bastardkb]

Thank you !

[@zbuzi]

Hey hey, thank for the video. What trackpad are you guys using? Is there a shopping list or do you send packages?

[@Nebulorum]

Extremely relaxing video. Cool design. Do you plan sell kits?

[@bastardkb]

Thank you ! We sell kits on the shop, the link is in the description.

Could you please tell What those rotaries for ? And what means MX and Choc for rotary options on the website

[@bastardkb]

The MX and Choc rotary encoders have different heights to accomodate the difference in MX and choc profile. For the encoders (credit to casuanoob on discord): volume up/down mousewheel scroll pageup/pagedown caret scrolling (text cursor movement) arrow keys (partial overlap with previous) undo/redo shortcuts incremental inputs like RGB Hue/Sat/Val/Speed keycodes other repeatable inputs like zoom shortcuts anything you want to spam (same reason some speedrunners often bind jump or similar things to scroll wheel) (half joke) doing mouse movement like an etch-a-sketch play sound voltex don't need extra tucky thumb key, so why not stick a knob there tab/shift-tab (basic tab/window swapping) actual window swapping implementation (alt/cmd tabber)

Do I need to build the keyboard by myself?

[@bastardkb]

Hey! We sell both kits (build it yourself) and prebuilts (ready to go) on the shop bastardkb.com. All the files are also open sourced on github

[@cererec9766]

Is this recommended for software developer/ programmers?

[@bastardkb]

Hey ! It's mostly use by devs I would say yes. It's a bit of a learning curve if you're not used to splits as you need to learn how to use a new split, ortho stagger, etc. The 36 keys (on the V2) can definitely be challenging as you need to learn homerow mods. If you'd be more interested in a 4x6 version, I'm currently finishing one so feel free to drop by the discord to get more info !
