I've been searching relentlessly for a qwerty chording solution that works for me. I was hoping to find something useful here, but there's only a couple of Wikipedia links that I've already scoured through. QMK firmware seems like a good solution, but it's only available on DIY mechanical keyboards or expensive ergonomic keyboards. There are a few hacks out there for other keyboards, but I don't want to brick my daily driver.
If anybody has a solution for custom chords on a qwerty that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars I'd love to hear it!

- sleepybrett 7y agoDIY mechanicals are not all that expensive, though there are many components that you can upgrade and add to costs. You do need to know how to solder.. hot swap pcbs exist for sure (allowing you to just push keys into the pads) but they do cost a bit more. That said, the type of soldering required is quite easy and if you have a friend with a decent iron and some time they can teach you the required skill quite quickly.
