Yes, it’s mechanical. Choc V1 20g Nocturnal switches, and I use it daily at work typing for a living. 26-key Unibody ʻākohekohe

Crazy that you managed to snap one in their natural habitat.
I heard they are exceptionally rare these days.

How do you switch modes? Like, activating nav or symnum layout?

Or how do you even use the [shift] key, while it’s primarily bound to [R] ?

Holding the highlighted red thumb key(s) will activate layers. So left thumb is nav, right is symnum, both is fun.

The shift on R is only used for shortcuts, and acts as r when tapped and shift when held. For typing I use the two sticky shift combos on ring+middle homerow.

I’m always impressed by people using these incredibly small keyboards. I’ve never been able to get accustomed to using anything lower than 68% for a daily driver.

Thought the same, then tried a Corne-ish Zen and … I’ve been on a strange path from normal keyboard to split kbd to Ergodox to Moonlander (so more and more) down to Corne-ish Zen (3x6) and my hands/wrist thank me daily. Even today I edited my keymap https://github.com/Utopiah/zmk-config-zen-2/blob/main/config/corneish_zen.keymap thinking “Wow… so much keys left still, I could do with less”.
