Over the weekend I assembled an Ergodox.

• Infinity ErgoDox Ergonomic Keyboard Kit via massdrop
• Cherry MX Brown switches
• Datamancer Infinity Ergodox Hardwood Case (Black Walnut / Original) via massdrop
• Plum Blossom PBT Dye-Subbed Keycap Set (OEM, Blank) via massdrop

In the last post that I wrote about Atreus build, I noted that there's an issue of keyboard positioning:

Even if I can overcome the layout and memorize the various symbol locations, there's the issue of the placement. If I place the keyboard in between me and the laptop the screen becomes too far.

I solved this issue by making a tray for Atreus that I can position it on top of the MacBook Pro keyboard.

Last night I finished making my Atreus keyboard from a DYI kit that I got a while back.
Here are some of the details:

• I chose Matias Quiet Click switch option (gray slider). There's no clicking.
• The modifiers use Matias Quiet Linear switches (red slider).
• There are 42 keys in split ortholinear layout.
• Mahogany ply case.
