Love the new choc keys on the uhk80

I’ve had a few issues with the uhk80 so far, mostly boiling down to firmware stuff i’ve been making tickets for, but would just like to say the extra thumb cluster keys are a gamechanger for me.

I tend to use the trackpoint module heavily and control it with the side of my thumb, previously i had to use the key cluster modules clicker buttons for mouse clicks on my other hand, but with the new buttons i’ve remapped space and fn2 to left click and right click respectively. Just feels really good to use. Might get clicky chock switches in the future just for those two switches to make it feel even more mouselike. I don’t need to use the key cluster module anymore either which is nice as well. the split spacebar part are both space, and to the left of the left space i bound mod so i can trackpoint scroll. It just works good, and I never liked thumb clicking the cluster modules clickers.

The one thing im curious if i can do, and this is just going to require me looking at documentation to see if it’s possible, but it’d be really cool if i could have an event for the halves being together and not together, so I can only have the left cluster keys as mouse buttons when it’s split, and then when i put them together ( mainly for gaming ) it changes to some other keys.

Thanks for the feedback! No split/merge event has been implemented. I can recall another such request, but it’s rarely requested and doesn’t justify the implementation. I suggest separate split/merged keymaps and manually switching between them.

I put some Lofree Shadow Series Wizards (clicky) in mine, and I absolutely love em! I’d like to have some even heavier, but unfortunately there’s only a handful of Choc V2 switches out there, and the Wizards are the heaviest I could find.
