Would you say enthusiast grade or business grade products are better quality? (lemmy.world)

Just a shower thought. Obviously depends on the industry, but in terms of electronics I fee enthusiast grade (think gaming motherboards, for example) are better built than professional grade. Thoughts?

The keyboards you get with business-grade desktop computers are ridiculous crap compared to hobbyist keyboards; not only in hardware build quality, but in features too.

These days, a high-end hobbyist keyboard is probably running VIA and you can remap the keys from a user-friendly web interface. (No, you don't need a C compiler and to figure out how to flash firmware anymore. That was a few years ago.)

Nice!

Can I flash my CTRL tkl board to use this?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably! I see "Drop CTRL" on the compatibility list:

Thanks! I looked for "CTRL" and didn't find it :-)

ZMK is the new shit!

ZMK doesn't support real-time keymap changes yet, which is a really nice feature.
