Cool RGB Lighting

Bring TailorKey to life with cool RGB lighting. Assign colors to layers and create visual cues that enhance both functionality and style.

IMPORTANT:
Per-key/layer RGB is not enabled by default, as it requires community-developed firmware, called PR36.
See: How-to enable RGB with PR36 on Discord.

Note: To stay true to the zero-code principle, the RGB scheme is excluded. You can download the scheme here and paste it into the Custom Device-tree section.
See this howto video and the demo video.

Bilateral Home-Row Mods (BHRM)

What is it?
Bilateral Home-Row Mods (BHRM) is an advanced version of Home-Row Mods. In this setup, home-row modifier keys (like Ctrl, Shift, or Alt) are triggered only when combined with a key pressed by the opposite hand. This approach minimizes errors while promoting a more balanced and comfortable typing experience.
⚠ Using BHRM version requires a different layout file, get it here.

Why does this matter?

Fewer Mistakes: Say goodbye to accidental modifier key presses. With both-hand activation, every modifier is intentional—even when typing fast or one-handed.
More Comfortable Typing It prevents awkward hand stretches or finger strain caused by pressing two keys with the same hand.

Why the extra layers?

Sunaku designed these bilateral combinations with a two-level hold-tap hierarchy, which requires these additional layers.

Q: For the bilateral, shouldn't hold-trigger-key-positions be enough?
A: No, more layers are needed for the system to correctly handle key releases and the sequence of actions during opposite-hand key presses. Read more

Finger Layers

Requires extra finger layer to support Bilateral Combinations Enforcement (BHRM)

Advanced Tuning for Home Row Mods (HRM)

When it comes to HRM, a one-size-fits-all set of settings just doesn’t exist. The ZMK HRM Best Practice Values provides best practice configuration options to fine-tune key hold timings, activation thresholds, and ergonomic adjustments for optimal performance.
