So after my struggles getting this setup going I’m really enjoying this setup.

Thought I’d post here as there is quite a bit of intersectionality between the emacs, Arch, Steamdeck, Nix and Mechboards communities.

Spec as follows:

  1. Steamdeck (LCD);
  2. SteamOS 3.5 Preview (Arch based and compatible with Nix packages);
  3. Emacs 29 (via Nix package);
  4. DooM config + some tweaks of my own; and
  5. Corne Light v2 with random DSA caps.

Ambitions for this setup are:

  1. Better emacs-fu (thanks to everyone here with their help so far);
  2. RGB underglow on the keyboard for 90s vibes;
  3. Printed keycaps in jazzy colours;
  4. Better keymap (maybe Miryoku or something with homerow mods)

    I tried to setup a keyboard like that where it was programmed through QMK to do have taps be one key and hold do another etc, but I couldn’t stand the latency. So good on you for making it work

      I haven’t tried that config (holds for homerow mods yet) so will have to keep latency in mind
