i think my typing endgame is a foldable / separable and fully programmable wireless orthogonal mechanical #keyboard with a 40% planck-like layout.

unfortunately for me, it doesn't exist because there's like only one potential buyer :-) ah well...

@tivasyk a helix built with nice!nanos would basically get there, but I'm not sure what specifically you envision for "foldable"?

@petejohanson «I'm not sure what specifically you envision for "foldable"?» — neither am i :-( a planck is already small, but could this form-factor be folded even more for transporting? idk, maybe it's just smth too unrealistic :-/

helix does look interesting, although it's not more compact than my preonic. i'll take a better look though, thanks for suggesting!

@tivasyk the helix can have the bottom row broken off for a 4x12 setup.

@petejohanson this is most interesting indeed! could point me at some walk-throughs or build reports? i like to be 101% sure i'd be able to easily put it together if i decided to try it.

@tivasyk you could scan the build guide to get a sense: https://docs.lpgala.xyz/docs/blank-slate-build-guide/overview/
