I had already posted this on the other keyboard community but after a few beers tonight, felt I should share it here too. I built this last weekend and test drove it at work all week. I think I really like the Robins but probably not as much as my beloved Sunsets.

Board: Sweep36(sweeeeep) by Fingerpunch Github: https://github.com/sadekbaroudi/sweep36 Switches: Choc Robins Keycaps: hand-dyed MBK Layout: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/66f1904eee126cbfe17ad4e6011db06b

The layout is for my Ferris but it’s mostly adapted to 36 keys as well. It’s based a bit on Miryoku and KKGA(I think that was the name). I also took heavy influence from Mental’s symbol layer with the finger roll bigrams. I do have a gaming layer but it’s sort of always changing depending on the game I am playing. Right now it’s Dyson Sphere Program so my second gaming layer is shortcuts for like belt levels and copy/pasting buildings.

    Do you have links to the referenced Mental symbol later and kkga? I have a similar layout in mind for a Waterfowl I’m building and would love to check out some 36 key layout tricks. I’m already quite familiar with miryoku but I struggle with symbol and number layers.

      The only thing I really don’t like about Miryoku was the symbol layer so it’s been a journey trying to find something that works. I should have shared those links when I made this post. Sorry about that.

      Obosob took down the keymap pin on reddit so I forget Mental’s full user name but here is his blog post about the layer: https://getreuer.info/posts/keyboards/symbol-layer/index.html

      This is the guy that developed Capsword. He has other posts that are worth checking out.

      Here is KKGA: https://keymapdb.com/keymaps/kkga/ I mostly borrowed the vertical brackets cluster. I wanted (); in homerow but also { accessable. [] isn’t used as much so it went on the bottom row. And } is usually handled by intelesense/autocomplete so I put it a bit out of the way.

      I was also eyeballing Hypership as well and tried setting symbols up similar but then saw KKGA’s and got curious about it. I can’t find Hypership right now but if I do I can share it too. I think someone made a comment on this community a few days ago.
