Fair enough. Maybe I'm being impatient. Will update if/when I hear anything.

Yea I'm happy to wait for however long it takes as long as I receive some sort of communication from them. I just want to know that a human has seen my order and it's being processed. Two weeks of zero communication is not cool. Also I've been on the Discord for a while and Momoka was last online when they DIDN'T fulfil a giveaway. This was on the 19th of May.

But thanks for your feedback!

Momoka is AWOL (lemmy.world)

Heyo. I placed an order for a Momoka Ergo on the 13th of July and the only communication I've received is the automated "Order confirmed" email from Shopify.

Has anyone heard from Momoka or have access to some sort of off site contact details for them? I'd prefer to get my keyboard rather than go through the hassle of trying to get a refund, but 2 weeks without contact is starting to look a bit dodgy in my eyes.

Yea even if I was to build myself the price of switches and caps in South Africa is a joke. I can handle some tech issues. The next cheapest option is around $300 shipped to me to this is a great price with the thumb clusters I wanted. I'm in the Discord now and it's pretty barren lol. Will have to just place the order and hope for the best!

That's cool! I was mainly hoping to avoid needed an external numpad by mapping the numpad onto the right hand for data entry. That's great! Should fit my needs perfectly. Thanks for all the assistance!

Heyo. Quick question, I see on the QMK configurator that there are three layers on the Momoka. My questions are:

  1. Is this true? and
  2. How do you switch layers? The Momoka site is very bare and their chat has been unattended for a few days.

Was worried about stability but yea beanbags would probably work great! Thanks!

This is a bit wild for my tastes! Looks sick though

Unfortunately, I live in South Africa, so my options are extremely limited here. And by limited I mean there is not a single split keyboard listing lol

[-] TroggoMan_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That sounds like a plan! Thanks!

I'm obviously very new to the fancy shmancy keyboard world. Do I need to build this thing completely from scratch? Or do they sell ready made ones? The site is a bit intense haha

[-] TroggoMan_@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm comfortable enough. Wouldn't say I'm any good at it though lol.

I'm looking for a keyboard that has some tenting features to combat severe tendonitis in my forearms. I want a number row and a thumb cluster, would also like some additional programmable keys if possible, but not needed.

Heyo

I want to switch to a split keyboard setup, but I really don't want to spend $400 only to end up hating it. Are there any cheaper options that I can get as a temporary board while deciding?

EDIT: Massive thank you to all the replies I got. All of the suggestions and advice are great and have been very helpful. That being said, I will likely be going for the Momoka Ergo due to it having free shipping to South Africa and includes switches and keycaps. (Switches are extremely expensive here (around $250 for a set of Cherry switches for example))
