Code to the Moon

A hands-on review of the Charybdis (Caribdis), an open-source split columnar keyboard with a built-in trackball from Bastard Keyboards. The reviewer, a long-time Glove80 user, covers the keyboard's origins (forked from the Dactyl Manuform), its 3D-printed case, QMK/VIA firmware support, switch options, RGB, and the unique layer-tap mouse button system. Key pros include the integrated trackball reducing hand movement, solid build quality, and open-source hardware. Main con is the lack of built-in palm rests given the board's height. After several weeks of use, the reviewer hasn't switched back to their Glove80 daily driver.
