It's a cheap unsleeved coiled cable I got from Taobao. You can find similar ones on AliExpress I believe

Very flexy, I think it lowers a little bit the sound of the switches because it vibrates quite a bit.

I actually do, I regularly use Excel as well as other software requiring extensive use of the F-row and also frequently have to type e-mails. I know for sure some people are using the same layout for programming.

I got it from taobao like a year ago, it's a really cheap but functional cable, maybe you can find a similar one on AliExpress

The 40% keyboard Discord exists, I don't know if I'm allowed to link it here. Lots of people willing to help willing to share keymaps and configurations, if you want I can share the invite in PM.

Oh, I see.. I don't have a XDA set to compare them to, also I never used neither before, anyway I like them but wouldn't like to confuse people by giving wrong infos

Ofc, I also have 1 Model M and one Model F, both 122-keys and I like them both. The gang thing it's just a meme, like the copy pasta I was answering to

It's a functionality integrated in VIA and QMK, you just have to set it up. This board comes pre flashed from the creator (the guy is great) with the firmware needed to make it effective and you can set combos up directly in the keyboard configurator. For my combos I took inspiration from others in the 40s community.

They are MA profile heavy industry caps, you can find them on AliExpress. The Dye Sub is well-done and they are also quite cheap for what they are

ahah thank you, I noticed right after posting this and flipped it

I mean technically you are the one writing the user manual, as with all the custom boards you can decide how you want the keys function since VIA is your friend. It's all a matter of getting used to to your own configuration. I still average 100 wpm on this board

40s gang rise up

They are not missing, not all the keys do the same thing written on them. The X novelty is q, but when pressed in combo with w it becomes esc. Same thing for meta + o, which becomes backspace.

Once you get used to the layout and combos it becomes second nature.

Apricot by LAZYDESIGNERS, built with U4T and MA Industry. I'm coming from a BM43A as my daily driver. I'm still learning to navigate combos and tapdances to master the QAZ layout, but as of now it all seems to work perfectly, autoshift also helps a lot.

So, there's more of us.
